Unarmed security guards are the most common type of security guard service used. Unarmed guards can be in uniform or not. Most commonly unarmed guards are in uniform and highly visible to help deter would-be criminals. Unarmed guards are commonly used by many big clients on posts where there is a low risk of violence.
