UNARMED SECURITY OFFICER FAQS
What training do unarmed security officers receive?
All Semper Secure unarmed officers complete comprehensive security training including patrol procedures, observation techniques, incident reporting, emergency response protocols, customer service skills, and de-escalation methods. We maintain a hiring preference for veterans and retired law enforcement who bring military or police training to civilian security roles. Officers receive site-specific training covering your facility’s unique needs, technology systems, and protocols before deployment.
When should an organization choose unarmed security over armed officers?
Unarmed security is ideal for most commercial, educational, healthcare, retail, and residential environments where visible deterrence and professional presence prevent issues without weapons. Choose unarmed officers when your primary needs are access control, patrol coverage, visitor management, customer service, and incident response—not high-value asset protection or elevated threat environments. Most facilities benefit from unarmed security’s lower liability and more approachable atmosphere.
Can unarmed officers respond effectively to security threats?
Yes. Our unarmed officers are trained in threat assessment, de-escalation, crisis communication, and emergency response coordination. They prevent most incidents through awareness and intervention before situations escalate. When serious threats emerge, officers immediately contact law enforcement while securing areas, protecting people, and providing situational information to responding police. Their training emphasizes prevention and smart response over physical confrontation.
How do unarmed officers balance security with hospitality?
This balance defines Semper Secure’s approach. Our unarmed officers understand they’re often the first people visitors meet—they represent your organization’s culture while maintaining security awareness. Through professional greetings, helpful assistance, and approachable demeanor combined with constant environmental scanning, our officers create welcoming atmospheres without compromising vigilance. Veterans and law enforcement professionals naturally bring this discipline.
What happens if an unarmed officer encounters a situation requiring police?
Our officers immediately contact law enforcement while securing the area, protecting people, and gathering information. They maintain communication with our 24/7 command center, provide detailed situational reports to responding police, and follow law enforcement direction. Officers are trained to recognize when situations exceed their capabilities and to coordinate professional response rather than escalating confrontations.
Can you provide both roving patrols and stationary posts?
Yes. Depending on your facility’s needs, we provide stationary officers for lobby desks, entrance monitoring, or access control, as well as roving patrol officers who conduct rounds, check perimeters, inspect parking areas, and maintain visible presence throughout your property. Many clients combine both approaches—stationary coverage during peak hours with roving patrols during off-hours.
How quickly can you deploy unarmed security officers?
For standard unarmed security needs, we typically deploy officers within 24-48 hours once we complete a brief site assessment and orientation. For emergency coverage or immediate staffing gaps, we maintain rapid-response capabilities across New Jersey and Philadelphia that allow same-day or next-day deployment. Our staffing depth ensures we can fill unexpected openings quickly without compromising officer quality.
Do unarmed officers receive ongoing training after deployment?
Yes. Beyond initial training, our unarmed officers participate in regular refresher courses covering de-escalation techniques, emergency procedures, customer service updates, and any changes to your facility’s protocols. Our low manager-to-officer ratio ensures consistent oversight, performance feedback, and continuous skill development throughout their employment with Semper Secure.
