Top Customized Security Solutions for Residential Areas
Unarmed Security Guards
A strong security presence does not always need a weapon. For many offices, stores, and events, a professional unarmed guard is all it takes to keep people safe and stop trouble before it starts. Metro One Security provides unarmed security guards across Metro Detroit. Our guards are licensed, screened, and trained to protect your space and represent your business well.
What Unarmed Security Guard Service Includes
An unarmed guard is a trained officer who protects your property without carrying a firearm. They are a visible, calm, and professional presence. Most problems never happen simply because a guard is standing there.
Our unarmed guards handle:
- A visible presence that deters theft, loitering, and vandalism
- Access control: checking IDs, signing in visitors, watching entrances
- Customer and visitor help, like a friendly face at the front desk
- Patrols of your floor, lot, or building
- Fast response to problems, with a call to police when needed
- Written reports for every shift
Each unarmed guard is licensed under Michigan’s Private Security Guard Act. They are background screened, drug tested, and insured. You get a professional, not a risk.
Why Choose Metro One Security
The worst security guard is the one who does not show up. The second worst is the one who shows up and does nothing. We built our service around guards who do the job right.
Our guards arrive on time, in uniform, and ready to work. We answer the phone any hour. And as a local Metro Detroit company, we send people who know the area and can get to you fast, not a national call center that routes your call across the country.
You get a real person on the phone, a fast and clear quote, and guards you can count on. No surprises.
Who Needs Unarmed Security Guards
Unarmed guards fit sites where a professional presence matters more than a weapon. That covers most everyday business needs.
Common clients include:
- Offices and corporate lobbies
- Retail stores and shopping centers
- Apartment buildings and residential communities
- Events, parties, and private functions
- Schools, clinics, and front-desk reception
If your site faces a higher risk, like cash handling or a known threat, our armed security guards may be the safer choice. If you manage several properties, mobile patrol security can cover them all on one route. And for stores worried about shoplifting and shrink, our retail security is built for that exact need.

Common Problems We Solve
A guard is only worth it if they do the job. The companies that call us have usually been burned before:
- Guards who showed up late, out of uniform, or not at all
- Guards who sat on their phone and ignored the floor
- Constant new faces because the last company could not keep staff
- No reports, so there was no way to prove the work happened
- Slow or no response when a problem came up
We answer those problems head on. Our guards arrive on time and in uniform. They stay alert and active. They write a report for every shift, so you always know what happened. And you get a real supervisor to call, day or night. For a busy manager juggling many sites, that means fewer fires to put out and one less thing to worry about.
A Guard Who Fits Your Site
A retail floor, a quiet office lobby, and a busy event each need a different style of guard. We match the guard to the setting. For retail, that means watching for theft while staying friendly to shoppers. For an office, that means a calm, professional face at the desk. For an event, that means crowd awareness and a steady presence. You tell us the setting, and we send a guard who fits it.
