An unarmed guard is often the first person your customers, tenants and visitors meet, and the person who notices when something isn’t right. Our unarmed security services include:
Checking IDs and badges, signing in visitors and keeping unauthorized people out.
Regular rounds of the building, grounds and parking areas, day or night.
Being on site when staff arrive early or leave late.
A uniformed guard makes theft, vandalism and trespassing less likely to start in the first place.
Guards step in early, call police when needed and document every incident for your records.
Giving directions, helping guests and keeping lines moving.
Each guard works from written duties and procedures that we develop with you before the first shift, so they know exactly what your site needs.
Unarmed guards fit most places where a firearm isn’t needed or appropriate. In Chicago and the suburbs we cover:
Construction sites: we guard job sites after hours, control the gate and log deliveries. See Construction and Building Security.
Fire Watch Guards: When your fire alarm or sprinkler system is down, or during construction hot work, our fire watch guards patrol your property, log every round and call 911 at the first sign of fire. Learn more about our fire watch services
For events, our unarmed guards work alongside our event staff and event security teams of ushers, ticket scanners and guest services staff.
Armed coverage makes sense when a site handles cash or high-value goods, has had violent incidents, or faces a specific threat. For those situations we provide armed security guards and off-duty police officers. Many clients use unarmed guards day to day and add armed guards for late nights, high-risk shifts or big events. We’ll walk your site and tell you honestly which level fits.
If the risk is focused on one person, like an executive, a public figure or a family, our executive protection team is the better fit.
Valle Services is minority-owned, locally owned and managed by our founder, Hector Garcia. Hector was Director of Security at Soldier Field for the Chicago Park District and SMG from 1992 to 2005, coordinating NFL, Chicago Bears, FIFA and NCAA events. That stadium experience, from crowd control to stadium lockdowns to staff training, goes into how we train and supervise every guard we place.
Unarmed guards control access, patrol buildings and parking lots, help visitors and write incident reports. Most of their value is prevention: a visible, alert guard stops many problems before they start, and they call police when a situation needs it.
Yes. Many clients use unarmed guards most of the time and add armed security guards or off-duty police for specific nights, events or threats.
Valle Services is a premier security and event staffing management agency with 45 years in business. Our services range from armed and unarmed security, mobile patrols, off-duty police and military personnel, to guest services and event staff.
