The majority of security posts in Southwest Florida do not need a firearm — they need a professional. Our unarmed officers are the face of Global Security at office buildings, residential communities, retail centers, healthcare facilities, schools of all kinds of properties across Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Naples: impeccably dressed, exceptionally courteous, and trained to be guardians and ambassadors at the same time.
What unarmed officers handle
- Access control and visitor management — lobbies, gates, loading docks and employee entrances.
- Overnight and weekend coverage — lockups, patrols, lighting and door checks, incident documentation.
- Community presence — amenity oversight, parking, noise and guest policies enforced with a friendly hand.
- Retail and healthcare settings — customer-focused presence, de-escalation, and calm handling of disturbances.
- Event staffing — bag checks, wristbands, crowd direction and VIP escorting.
Training that shows up on post
Every Global Security officer completes Class D security officer training, and our supervisors reinforce the details that separate professional posts from warm bodies: arrival briefings, post orders, report writing, and the judgment to defuse a situation instead of escalating it. Our founder’s law-enforcement background built this culture — officers who conduct themselves with courtesy under pressure.
If your risk assessment calls for more than an unarmed post, we will say so and design the right mix — armed coverage, roving patrols or virtual monitoring layered on top.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Class D security officer?
In Florida, Class D is the state security officer license required to work an unarmed security post. Every unarmed officer we field holds it, and many go on to add Class G firearms training for armed posts.
Can unarmed guards handle aggressive visitors?
Yes — de-escalation is a trained core skill, and officers document every incident. When a situation exceeds the post’s scope, officers follow post orders for law-enforcement notification and management escalation.
Do you place guards at healthcare facilities?
Yes. We staff healthcare and medical-office environments with officers selected for patient-facing courtesy and calm, including after-hours coverage.
How quickly can coverage start?
Call us with the property details. Straightforward unarmed posts can often be staffed within days of an agreed proposal; complex or multi-site coverage is scheduled during onboarding.
