45 years in business. Valle Services is a Chicago security guard company that provides security guards for Loop and downtown Chicago businesses: office towers, hotels, State Street retail, parking garages, construction sites, events and residential high-rises. Our guards serve Chicago and all suburbs, 24/7.
The Loop is where Chicago goes to work, shop and visit. Chicago Loop Alliance reported more than 1.7 million visitors to the Loop in the first quarter of 2026, and State Street foot traffic averaged 92% of 2019 levels that quarter. For the city as a whole, Choose Chicago reports 56.8 million visitors in 2025.
Crowds like that mean busy lobbies, loading docks, garages and sidewalks, and every one of them is a place where a visible, professional guard makes a difference.
A guard gives tenants, guests and staff a presence that cameras cannot, and gives owners and property managers one more layer of protection. Browse all of our security guard services.
A downtown office needs more than a front desk. Our guards check visitors in, keep unauthorized people out of elevators and floors, and walk staff to their cars after a late shift. Some days call for more. When a firing, layoff or walkout may turn hostile, our high-risk employee termination security puts a discreet guard in or just outside the room and walks the person out calmly. Read our step-by-step plan for a volatile firing before the meeting.
For executives and visiting VIPs, we also provide executive protection.
Loop hotels fill up around conventions, concerts, holidays and big weekends. Our hotel security guards are supplemental: they work alongside your in-house team to cover lobbies, entrances, parking and event floors when you need extra hands, then step back when the rush is over. Hotels can start with a few shifts and adjust from there.

Most Loop sites, such as lobbies, retail floors and garages, are well served by unarmed security guards. Armed security guards are available for assignments that call for armed coverage. Our armed vs. unarmed guide explains the difference.
