Armed security generally costs more than unarmed security because of additional qualifications and responsibilities. Call (813) 374-6429 for a quote based on your property's security needs.

Florida generally requires a Class D license for unarmed security officers and a Class G license for armed security officers, subject to applicable training and eligibility requirements. Requirements depend on the duties being performed, so verify current licensing requirements with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

A fire watch may be required when a required fire alarm, sprinkler, or other fire-protection system is impaired or out of service, or when directed by the local fire official. Requirements vary by property and jurisdiction, so contact the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to confirm when a fire watch is needed and what procedures and records are required.
