Armed and Unarmed Security Guards — Bales Security

Fig. 02  ·  Officers

Service 01

Armed and Unarmed Security Guards

Posted officers are the most-requested service we run. Bales places licensed security personnel at your property in uniform, with documented procedures and supervised shifts. Posts can be armed or unarmed depending on the risk profile of the site. Officers keep constant observation, intervene when incidents occur, document what they see, and stay in contact with the client and with local law enforcement when the situation requires it.

  • → Armed and unarmed officers for commercial and residential properties throughout Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, and Bradenton.
  • → Around-the-clock coverage when the contract calls for it: access control, incident response, surveillance, and deterrence.
  • → Officers trained to observe continuously, intervene when needed, and document every shift in writing.

Business and Home Security Patrols — Bales Security

Service 02

Business and Home Security Patrols

Patrol service is the right answer when a full-time officer isn't justified but a regular, visible security presence is. Bales runs patrols through your property — drive-through observations, foot patrols, physical checks of grounds and buildings — on an on-demand, 24/7, or staggered schedule. When the schedule is staggered, the timing is randomized, making it difficult for anyone watching the property to predict when an officer will arrive. Vehicles can be marked for visible deterrence, or unmarked for a lower-profile presence.

  • → Drive-through observations of the property at scheduled or randomized intervals.
  • → Foot patrols with physical checks of grounds and buildings — locked doors and windows on commercial sites, perimeter and lighting on residential.
  • → Marked vehicles for visible deterrence, or unmarked for low-profile surveillance — client's choice.
