Top Customized Security Solutions for Residential Areas
Armed Security Guards
When the risk is high, you need more than a friendly face at the door. You need a trained, armed guard who can stop a threat before it becomes a loss. Metro One Security provides armed security guards for businesses across Metro Detroit. Our guards are licensed, insured, and ready to protect your people, your property, and your bottom line.
What Armed Security Guard Service Includes
An armed guard is a licensed officer who carries a firearm and is trained to use it safely and legally. They do far more than carry a weapon. They watch your site, control who comes in, respond fast to problems, and keep a record of every shift.
Here is what our armed guards handle:
- A visible, armed presence that deters crime before it starts
- Access control at gates, doors, and lobbies
- Fast response to break-ins, threats, and emergencies
- Protection during cash handling, deposits, and high-value transfers
- Patrols of your building, lot, or grounds
- Written reports so you know exactly what happened on site
Every armed guard we send is licensed under Michigan’s Private Security Guard Act. They are background screened, drug tested, and insured. That is the difference between a real security company and a cheap, risky hire.
Why Choose Metro One Security
You have a lot riding on the guard who shows up. If that guard no-shows, sleeps on post, or arrives out of uniform, the problem lands on you. We built our service to remove that worry.
We staff guards who show up, stay alert, and look the part. We answer the phone any hour, day or night. And because we are a local Metro Detroit company, not a national call center, you talk to people who know the area and can get a guard to your site fast.
When you call, you get a real person and a fast quote. When you sign, you get guards who do the job. That is the whole point.
Who Needs Armed Security Guards
Armed guards are the right call when the stakes are high. You might need them if you run a site that handles cash, holds high-value goods, sits in a high-crime area, or faces a specific threat.
Common clients include:
- Banks, check cashing, and cash-heavy retail
- Jewelry stores and high-value warehouses
- Manufacturing and industrial sites
- Medical and healthcare facilities
- Properties with a recent break-in or active threat
Not every site needs an armed guard. If your risk is lower, our unarmed security guards may be the better, lower-cost fit. If you have several properties to cover, mobile patrol security can protect them all on one schedule. And if you are guarding a job site, our construction site security is built for theft and trespassing after dark.

Common Problems We Solve
Most companies do not call for armed guards until something goes wrong. We hear the same problems again and again:
- A guard who no-shows and leaves your site open
- A guard who sleeps on post or wanders off
- High turnover at the last company, so no one knew your property
- Slow response when you needed coverage that same night
- No proof the guard actually made the rounds
We fix these with guards who show up, stay on post, and write reports you can check. You get a supervisor you can reach, not a voicemail box. When the stakes are high enough to need an armed guard, you cannot afford a no-show, and we treat it that way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your armed guards licensed in Michigan? Yes. Every armed guard is licensed under Michigan’s Private Security Guard Act. They are also insured, drug tested, and background screened.
How fast can you deploy armed guards? We deploy 24/7 across Metro Detroit. Call us and we will work to get a licensed guard to your site fast, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
When should I choose armed guards over unarmed? Choose armed guards for higher-risk sites, like cash handling, high-crime areas, or a known threat. For lower-risk sites, unarmed guards are often the better value.
