On-Site Security Guard Services
Service Highlights
At Nighthawk Security, we provide professional on-site security officers who help deter crime, manage access, implement responsive solutions, and more. From unarmed officers to less-than-lethal and armed solutions, we build security programs around your risk level and operations. Nighthawk Security offers on-site security services, patrols, and security consulting, the total commitment to our clients’ safety and protection.
Armed security guard services are reserved for high-risk or high-value sites or assets that demand the strongest visible deterrent and a rapid response. Our armed officers are fully licensed, vetted, and trained well beyond the baseline state and local requirements. They follow strict use-of-force policies, undergo industry-leading trainings, and work closely with your leadership and local law enforcement as needed. When you need to protect people, cash, sensitive assets, or critical infrastructure, armed guards provide the highest level of on-site protection.
Less-than-lethal security guard services are designed for locations that require a higher level of protection than unarmed officers alone. Nighthawk Security provides officers trained and equipped with approved less-lethal tools, including Byrna, mace, taser, and more, along with robust de-escalation and situational awareness skills. They’re a strong fit for sites with elevated risk where you still want to prioritize control, safety, and liability management without implementation of lethally armed guards.
Nighthawk Security manages the selection of effective unarmed security guards for a strong, professional presence, ideal for low- to moderate-risk environments. Our officers can manage access points, greet visitors, monitor CCTV, and document incidents so you always know what’s happening on-site. Trained in observation, reporting, and de-escalation, our officers help deter theft, trespassing, and other criminal activities.
Security Consulting Services
Security consulting services help you understand your risk profile and make smarter decisions about staffing, security procedures, and technology. Our team conducts on-site assessments, reviews your existing measures, and identifies gaps that could expose your people, property, or operations. From access control plans to incident response workflows, and other on-site specific measures, we deliver actionable recommendations to fine-tune or right-size a security program you may already have in place.
Administrative Security Support Services
Administrative security support blends front-desk professionalism with a security officer’s mindset. These team members can handle reception duties, visitor sign-ins, ID checks, and phone calls while also monitoring access points, cameras, and deliveries. They help ensure that shipping/receiving, vendor access, and lobby traffic all follow your policies without slowing down daily operations. It’s an ideal option when you need both a welcoming first impression and a reliable layer of protection.
Mobile Patrol Services
Mobile patrol services provide a presence for properties that don’t require a full-time guard at every entrance. Marked or unmarked vehicles conduct scheduled or randomized patrols, checking high-risk zones for signs of trouble. Officers can respond, document issues, and escalate concerns before they turn into major incidents. Mobile patrols are especially effective for large sites, multiple locations, or after-hours coverage that supplements your security program.
Build Your Security Plan
Every site has a different risk profile, layout, and culture. At Nighthawk Security, we start by understanding your operations before we ever recommend services. Our goal is to design a program that fits your day-to-day on-site reality.
Site Assessment
We begin by reviewing existing security measures, access points, and any past incidents or concerns. We learn how your people, customers, and vendors move through the space so we can recommend coverage that feels both secure and practical.
Risk Design
Based on our assessment, we help you determine the right fit for each post based on coverage needs and traffic patterns that make sense for your site, along with clear procedures.
Officer Selection & Training
From there, we match officers to your posts—considering your site-specific needs. Each officer receives training on your expectations and any special requirements for your facility so they arrive prepared on day one.
Supervision & Reporting
Once your program is live, officers complete incident reports and daily activity logs, and we communicate with you through your preferred channels so you always know how your security program is performing. We handle staffing, scheduling, and supervision so you can stay focused on running your operation.
Why Nighthawk?
When you put security guards on your property, you’re trusting those officers with your people and reputation. Nighthawk Security takes that responsibility seriously. We’ve built our hiring, training, and communication standards to deliver a higher level of professionalism and accountability on every post.
Every Nighthawk officer goes through a rigorous hiring process that includes national background checks and thorough drug screenings and then multi-step training after hiring. Nighthawk communications standards are also elite! Our clients can reach top management—up to and including the President, VP, and GM—24/7. When our clients have a question or concern, they won’t be left waiting days for a response or resolution.
