What Is Armed Security?
Armed security guards carry licensed firearms and are trained to handle high-threat situations. Every DK officer in Detroit goes through rigorous training and screening, including firearm safety, mental health evaluation, and site-specific instruction. We provide both uniformed and plain-clothed options depending on the environment and level of visibility you need.
One Company, One Solution
Uniformed Armed Security
Uniformed officers bring a commanding presence that helps prevent crime before it starts. Our officers can be stationed at entrances, patrol your property, or stand by during events or high-risk terminations. In major cities like Detroit, property crime and workplace safety are common concerns; having a visible deterrent on-site can make a real difference.
Plain Clothes Officers
For a low-profile option, DK’s armed officers can work in plain clothes or a DK-branded polo. This approach is common in office buildings, retail environments, or any place where discretion is preferred. Plain-clothed officers blend in while staying prepared to quickly respond to threats.
Benefits of Hiring Armed Security Guards
Deter Crime & Protect Assets
From construction sites to banks to cannabis facilities, Detroit businesses often manage high-value assets that can become targets. Our armed presence deters theft, vandalism, and workplace violence. If a threat does occur, our officers are trained to act decisively.
Respond to Threats
Our guards are prepared for more than just routine patrols. They’re trained to handle volatile situations and respond to emergencies with a calm, professional demeanor. With violence and theft an unfortunate reality in some parts of Detroit, proactive planning is better than a reactive scramble.
Provide Medical Assistance
All DK armed officers are first-aid trained and can help in medical emergencies. They stay level-headed under pressure and serve as a vital point of contact until first responders arrive.
