What you get
Standing Guard from Blu Wing
A standing guard is the right call when a property needs someone there, not someone driving by. Break-ins in the garage. People sleeping in stairwells. A door that keeps getting propped open. A guard on post fixes the problem while you fix the building.
- Armed and unarmed guards
- Entry points covered and nightly sweeps done
- We staff your site with the best option, not the cheapest one
- Daily reports on what happened at your property
It starts with written post orders
Before the first shift we sit down with your management team and write post orders for your property. They list your problem areas, your hot hours, your secure doors, who to call and in what order, your tow company and your amenity closing times. Every guard on your site works from the same page. When something changes, we update the post orders and every guard follows the new version.
What a shift looks like
- Patrol the property on foot and stay visible. Guards don't park in one spot.
- Check entry points, gates, garages, mail areas, amenities and vacant units on every round.
- Make contact with anyone who has no reason to be there and ask them to leave. Call police when they won't.
- Photograph what they find and log it with times and locations.
- Lock up the pool, clubhouse or community room at the hour you set.
Armed or unarmed
Most properties need unarmed guards. Some need armed coverage, like events with a door to hold or sites with a history of weapons. We put armed guards on a site only under a separate written agreement.
Licensed, screened and insured
Every guard holds a Washington private security guard license under Chapter 18.170 RCW and passes a background check and drug screen before assignment. We carry general liability, auto and workers' comp coverage, name you as additional insured and send the certificate before the first shift. If a guard isn't the right fit for your site, tell us and we reassign.
