CONSTRUCTION SECURITY SERVICE FAQ's
How do I know if I need unarmed security instead of armed security?
Construction projects typically rely on unarmed officers to patrol grounds, manage site access, and discourage theft or trespassing. In cases where expensive machinery, copper, or cash transactions increase risk, armed protection can provide added assurance. Our team helps assess project conditions and recommends the coverage level best suited to the site.
