AESS provides armed security guards and off-duty police for businesses, properties and events across Wisconsin and Indiana. Armed guards fit sites where the risk is higher: cash, high-value goods, past incidents or a specific threat. We help you decide, and we staff the post 24/7.

When Armed Security Makes Sense

• You handle cash, valuables or high-value inventory
• The site has had theft, assaults or other violent incidents
• Someone has made a specific threat against your staff or property
• Your insurer, lender or event contract calls for armed coverage

If none of these apply, unarmed security guards are usually enough.

Armed Guard Services

• Fixed armed posts at entrances, gates, docks and front desks
• Armed patrols of buildings, lots and job sites on a set schedule
• Access control and ID checks at controlled entry points
• Incident reports and open contact with your team and local law enforcement

Off-Duty Police

For higher-risk posts we can staff off-duty police. They bring law enforcement training and a visible presence that deters trouble before it starts.
