Armed Security Guard Services

When the Risk Justifies It, and Only When It Does.

​

An armed officer is not an upgrade you buy for peace of mind. It is a specific response to a specific risk profile. High value assets, cash handling, elevated threat environments, or a documented history of violent incidents on the property.

​

Sentry Security Services provides licensed armed officers throughout the Bay Area and Sacramento region. We also tell clients when they do not need one, because deploying armed personnel where unarmed coverage is appropriate adds cost and liability without adding protection.

​

• Licensing and Training Behind Every Armed Officer

• A valid California BSIS Guard Card

• A BSIS Exposed Firearms Permit

• Documented range qualification, renewed on schedule

• Use of force and de-escalation training

• Site specific post orders before first shift

When Unarmed Coverage Is the Better Call

​

We will say so directly. Most commercial properties, standard construction sites, routine access control, and general deterrence are better served by trained unarmed officers or mobile patrol. It costs less and carries less liability. Ask us and we will give you a straight answer.
