Unarmed guards complete a DPS-defined 8-hour pre-assignment course before working a post.
Applicants must meet fitness and character requirements under Arizona law and undergo fingerprint-based checks. Certain criminal convictions and registration statuses can be disqualifying, especially for armed positions.
All U.S. employers must complete Form I-9 for new hires. Arizona additionally requires employers to use E-Verify for new workers and retain verification records as outlined by state law.
Arizona’s licensing scheme expects agencies to maintain liability and workers’ compensation insurance and to meet DPS administrative rules. Clients commonly require proof of GL, WC, auto, excess/umbrella, and endorsements in contracts.
Mobilization timelines depend on site risk, post count, and staffing mix. We coordinate scheduling while completing licensing verification, background checks, and site-specific training.
We use time-stamped activity logs and incident reports aligned to your SLAs. Dashboards can track patrols, response times, exceptions, and corrective actions for continuous improvement.
We design camera programs to deter crime while respecting privacy expectations (no surveillance in areas with a reasonable expectation of privacy). Policies address notice, retention, and access control.
We support OSHA-informed prevention programs and coordinate with your leadership on de-escalation, safe ejections, and incident post-mortems. Plans emphasize early warning, trained response, and documentation.
Private security is not law enforcement, but we coordinate closely via escalation protocols and scene preservation. Our officers observe/report, deter, and respond within post orders while deferring arrests and investigations to authorities unless otherwise lawful.
