Armed Security Officers

In many situations, a uniformed security officer is a sufficient visual deterrent to potential threats. However, when threat levels escalate, armed security officers become essential for enhanced protection. Our MPS Security and Protection armed officers are fully licensed and extensively screened, meeting all state and local firearms training requirements.

Uniformed Armed Security Services

Some MPS Security and Protection clients require 24/7 protection and visible armed security presence at hospitals, commercial properties, retail centers, events, and any site where a well-trained uniformed officer can powerfully deter crime.

Hospitals / Medical Facilities

Specialized uniformed security for medical facilities across Los Angeles, ensuring a safe environment for your staff and patients.

Security Patrol

Rapid-response security patrols provide effective safety for businesses, retail, and commercial properties.

Public Utilities

Trusted by utilities like Southern California Edison to safeguard employees, customers, and critical infrastructure.

Event Security

Providing visible protection at concerts, city events, festivals, racing events, and more throughout Los Angeles County.

Commercial Properties

Ensure a secure, welcoming environment for your employees and customers with our highly visible security officers.

Armed Security

Enhance the protection of your Palm Springs residence or business with professional armed security provided by MPS Security and Protection.

Visible Armed Security Guards

An armed security officer accepts profound responsibility. While not active law enforcement, these private professionals operate with comparable abilities within a specialized scope. MPS armed officers are licensed, highly trained, and accredited-carrying a firearm is entrusted only to those who exemplify discipline and readiness.

Security Guards Carrying a Firearm

Every armed security professional is trained to operate, store, maintain, and (where necessary) deploy their weapon responsibly. Our officers emphasize de-escalation and are committed to resolving threats safely-using force only as a last resort, in alignment with strict protocol and training.
