45 years in business. Valle Services provides Bronzeville security guards for restaurants, shops, salons and other businesses, including nearby Greater Grand Crossing. Our unarmed guards serve Chicago and all suburbs, 24/7, with overnight shifts and patrol rounds.
In the news: At least 8 businesses on S. King Drive and E. 75th Street were broken into overnight on Oct 4 and 5, according to FOX 32 and CBS Chicago. Our break-in roundup has the full list of reported cases.
Bronzeville Security Guards for King Drive and 47th Street
Bronzeville has a long business history. Restaurants, barbershops, salons, cleaners and shops sit along King Drive, 47th Street and the blocks around them, and the district reaches south toward 75th Street in Greater Grand Crossing. Owners work long hours and know their customers by name.
A guard is a steady, visible presence for that kind of business. Customers see someone who is there to help, and staff know who to turn to if something goes wrong.

Bronzeville Security FAQ
Is the guard there to replace my staff?
No. The guard works with your staff and respects your business and your customers.
Do you staff overnight shifts and patrol rounds?
Yes. We staff overnight shifts and patrol rounds in Bronzeville. Tell us your closing and opening hours and we will set the schedule with you, and you get a daily written shift report.
Can several businesses share one guard?
Often, yes. If your business is near others that want coverage, Valle can arrange a shared guard. Whether it works depends on how close the sites are, so we look at the addresses first. You still get a daily written shift report. For lots behind your building, see parking lot security.
Can I start small?
Yes. Many owners begin with a few nights a week or a closing-time shift, then adjust. Our cost guide explains what drives the price.
Armed or unarmed?
Most businesses are well served by unarmed guards. Our armed vs. unarmed guide helps you decide, and armed guards are available for assignments that call for armed coverage.
Are you licensed and bonded in Illinois?
Yes. Valle Services is licensed in Illinois and bonded, and has been in business for 45 years.
