We are seeking dependable, hardworking individuals that are ready to take on a new job making their communities feel safer. We offer benefits after a 90 day probationary period, and a 401k with company matching after employees have been with us for one (1) year, and federal holidays receive holiday pay.
Pay for unarmed guards ranges from $15-16/hour.
While duties may vary from site to site, the most common duties include:

Standing for the duration of the shift (excludes mobile shifts)
-
Acting as a deterrent for theft, vandalism, loitering, etc.
-
Writing daily activity reports

Observing and reporting incidents to supervisors and clients
-
And most importantly, providing peace of mind to the communities which we serve
Our company is open to those who do not have experience working in security. We have several positions that are great for getting your foot in the door. However, as a bare minimum, we do require the following:
-
Reliable transportation
-
A clear criminal and driving record - since all of our guards will be expected to apply for a guard card, we cannot employ those with domestic violence or felony charges, or those currently on probation
-
A valid state-issued ID (meaning non-expired)
-
An active guard card for the state of Maryland - we cannot accept guard cards from other states
The below are incredibly helpful and do open up more opportunities for those who have them:
-
A valid driver's license - we often have mobile shifts, which require a valid (meaning non-expired) driver's license
The majority of our sites require standing for the duration of the shifts and may involve walking up and down stairs, getting in and out of vehicles, or other physically demanding activities.
