ARMED SECURITY FAQs

What training do your armed security officers receive?

All Semper Secure armed officers complete New Jersey firearms certification, ongoing weapons proficiency training, de-escalation techniques, crisis response protocols, and legal use-of-force instruction. We maintain a hiring preference for veterans and retired law enforcement who bring military or police training to every assignment. Officers undergo background checks, psychological evaluations, and scenario-based training before deployment to armed posts.

Are your armed officers licensed in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania?

Yes. Semper Secure maintains full licensing in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania for armed security services. Our officers carry valid firearm permits, complete state-required training hours, and maintain certifications current in both states. We’re fully insured with specialized armed security liability coverage that protects our clients and our officers.

When should an organization choose armed security over unarmed officers?

Armed security is appropriate for high-value assets, elevated threat environments, financial institutions handling cash, pharmaceutical facilities with controlled substances, executive protection scenarios, construction sites with expensive equipment, and any facility where visible armed deterrence significantly reduces risk. We provide risk assessments to help you determine whether armed presence is necessary for your specific situation.

How do armed officers balance security with customer service?

Our armed officers are trained to project calm authority rather than aggression. They understand that their presence should deter threats without intimidating legitimate visitors, employees, or customers. Through professional demeanor, clear communication, and situational awareness, our officers maintain security while upholding the hospitality standards that define Semper Secure. Veterans and law enforcement professionals naturally bring this balance of strength and restraint.

Can you provide both uniformed and plain-clothes armed officers?

Yes. Depending on your security needs, we provide uniformed armed officers for visible deterrence (ideal for banks, retail, construction sites) or plain-clothes armed personnel for discreet protection (ideal for executive security, events, corporate campuses). We’ll work with you to determine which approach best serves your facility and security objectives.

How quickly can you deploy armed security officers?

For standard armed security needs, we typically deploy officers within 24-48 hours once we complete the required site assessment and security planning. For emergency situations or immediate threats, we maintain rapid-response capabilities and can expedite deployment. Specialized assignments requiring additional briefings or coordination may need longer lead times to ensure proper preparation.

What happens if an armed officer needs to respond to a threat?

Our armed officers follow strict escalation protocols: verbal commands and de-escalation first, physical intervention if necessary, weapon display only when threats are imminent, and weapon discharge exclusively as a last resort to prevent serious harm. Officers immediately contact law enforcement, notify our command center, and secure the scene. Every incident is documented thoroughly, and we coordinate fully with police investigations.

Do armed officers coordinate with local law enforcement?

Yes. Our armed security teams maintain professional relationships with local police departments across New Jersey . In high-security environments, we establish communication protocols with local law enforcement before deployment. During incidents, our officers coordinate seamlessly with responding police, provide situational reports, and follow law enforcement direction to ensure unified response.
