How We Set Up an Unarmed Post
Every post starts with a walk-through of your site and a conversation about what you want covered. We look at entrances, parking areas, hours when the building is empty, and the problems you have had before. From that we write post orders: what the guard checks, where they patrol, who they call, and what goes into the daily report. You get a clear plan, and the guard on site knows exactly what is expected.
Posts can be a single guard at a front desk, a night patrol of a lot or job site, or a team for a larger property. We can change hours or add guards for busy weekends and special events.

AESS staffs unarmed guards in the Milwaukee, Waukesha, Kenosha and Racine areas, in Madison and Green Bay, and in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Northwest Indiana.

Each guard is trained in observation, de-escalation and report writing, and is supervised by our management team.
Unarmed or Armed: Which Do You Need?
Most sites do well with unarmed guards. Higher-risk posts, such as locations with cash or valuables, past violent incidents or a specific threat, may call for armed security guards or off-duty police. Many clients combine both.
Fire Watch
When a fire alarm or sprinkler system is out of service, our unarmed guards can keep your building protected. See fire watch guards.

Can I add armed guards later?
