Valle Services provides unarmed and armed security guards in Des Plaines, IL for manufacturing plants, warehouses, freight yards and new industrial construction. With 45 years in business, we staff short-term, seasonal and ongoing posts in Des Plaines and across Chicago and all suburbs.
Des Plaines has a busy industrial area right next to O’Hare, and the city’s own comprehensive plan calls it home to one of the strongest industrial markets in the country. Plants, warehouses and freight businesses sit along Touhy Avenue, Oakton Street, Mount Prospect Road, Elmhurst Road and Howard Avenue, with I-90 and I-294 a short drive away.
The south end of Des Plaines, from the Touhy and Mannheim industrial district to the plants west of Wolf Road, runs on trucks and air freight around the clock. Older buildings are being torn down and replaced too: new warehouses are going up at Algonquin and Mount Prospect roads, and a data center now stands on Touhy Avenue where a clothing factory used to be.
That mix of busy loading docks, cargo moving to and from O’Hare and active job sites is what our warehouse and industrial security guards are trained for. We cover the shifts you need, whether that is one overnight post or around-the-clock coverage.
Most Des Plaines plants and warehouses are well served by unarmed security guards. We provide armed guards and off-duty police officers for assignments that call for armed coverage, and we will tell you honestly which level fits your site.
Nights and weekends are when trailers, copper and equipment are most exposed. Our guards work overnight shifts and patrol rounds that check fence lines, trailer yards, dock doors and parking lots, and every shift ends with a written daily report. For sites that don’t need a full-time post, we can set up shared guards who make rounds at more than one property, depending on how close the sites are to each other.
For the new warehouses and redevelopment sites around Algonquin Road and Mount Prospect Road, we provide construction site security: gate control for contractors, patrols of materials and equipment, and coverage when the crews go home.
A staffed gatehouse keeps strangers, unannounced trucks and former employees out of your yard. Our guards check badges, sign in visitors and contractors, and keep the gate log your managers and insurer can use.
If your sprinkler system or fire alarm is down for repairs, we also provide fire watch guards who make rounds and keep the required log until the system is back in service.
Des Plaines sits between two of the biggest industrial areas in the Chicago region. See our pages for security guards in Elk Grove Village, home to the Elk Grove Village Business Park just west of Des Plaines, and our Chicago security guard company page for the city.
