WHAT WE DO
#1 Armed & Unarmed Security Guards
Security you know. Service you trust. At USENTRA, you get the same guards protecting your facility year after year. Our hands-on local team personally matches, trains, and supports security professionals who know your site, your people, and become a trusted part of your operation.
Unarmed Security Guards
Our unarmed security guards are trained to handle situations without weapons. Most problems at businesses don't need force, they need someone who knows how to talk to people and de-escalate situations before they get worse.
Armed Security Guards
Sometimes a situation calls for armed security guards. High-value inventory or properties with previous serious incidents might need that extra level of protection. Our armed guards go through additional background checks and training requirements.
Local Protection You Can Trust
At USENTRA, security isn't just about having someone on-site - it's about having the right people who stay, learn your facility, and protect what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does a Security Guard Do?
An security guard performs mostly the same duties as other security guards, and they have also gone through extensive training to receive their license. An unarmed security officer’s duties can vary from one client to another. Their daily tasks usually involve patrolling and monitoring of the premises in search of suspicious activities and hazards. They detect and deter criminal activities and alert the police station or the fire department if they notice any safety hazards.
Why Should I Hire Security Guards?
Most facilities don't need armed guards—they need trained professionals who know how to prevent problems before they escalate.
Our unarmed security officers go through comprehensive training in conflict de-escalation, emergency response, and proper incident documentation. They're trained to assess situations, communicate effectively, and contact law enforcement when needed. They have the authority to detain suspects and make citizen's arrests when circumstances require it.
​
An unarmed guard on-site does more than just watch—they deter theft, prevent unauthorized access, and catch small issues before they become expensive problems. For most retail locations, office buildings, and commercial properties, that visible, professional presence is exactly what's needed.
​
You get the protection your facility needs at a lower cost than armed security, without the additional liability concerns. And because our guards stay with us for years, they learn what normal looks like at your property and notice when something's off.
