Professional on-site protection when a firing, layoff, or walkout may turn hostile.
Terminating someone is an HR decision. Keeping everyone safe while it happens is a security decision.
Risk goes up when the person has made threats, has access to weapons or critical systems, is being removed for violence or theft, or when a layoff or strike already has the workplace on edge.

What we do on-site:
Armed or unarmed, uniformed or plainclothes — we match the tone of your workplace. For most office terminations, plainclothes is the right call.

Can a security guard remove a terminated employee?
A security officer can escort a terminated employee from the meeting to their desk, vehicle and property line, keep the peace, and make it clear the visit is over. Guards are not police. In general they may only use the force state law allows, such as self-defense or protecting others, so if a person refuses to leave or turns violent, officers step back, document what happened and call police. Valle Services plans each termination with HR in advance so the exit stays quiet and discreet. This is general information, not legal advice; check with your counsel about your state’s rules.
