Our Armed Security division is comprised of the industry’s most disciplined professionals, specifically trained to operate in high-threat environments while maintaining the highest legal and ethical standards.

The USIA Difference: Superior Personnel
Competitors often arm guards with minimal training. USIA sets a higher bar. Our armed personnel are primarily recruited from:
- Former Law Enforcement & Police Officers
- Military Veterans (Combat & Security Forces)
- Certified Executive Protection Specialists
Every armed officer undergoes rigorous psychological evaluation, regular range qualification that exceeds state requirements, and continuous training in the Legal Use of Force.
Our Armed Security Solutions
We provide a powerful deterrent against organized crime, workplace violence, and high-value theft.
1. High-Value Asset Protection
Whether you are transporting jewelry, cash, or sensitive intellectual property, our armed guards provide a secure “chain of custody.” We mitigate the risk of targeted robberies through strategic positioning and constant vigilance.
2. Workplace Violence Intervention
For businesses facing layoffs, hostile terminations, or active threats, USIA provides a discreet but prepared armed presence. We act as a protective barrier for your staff, ensuring that business operations continue without disruption or fear.
3. Critical Infrastructure & Industrial Security
We protect high-risk sites such as data centers, chemical plants, and logistics hubs where a security breach could have catastrophic consequences. Our armed teams are trained in perimeter defense and rapid response.
4. Executive & VIP Protection
For high-net-worth individuals and public figures, we provide armed close-protection details. Our agents are trained to blend into the environment—whether in a suit or tactical gear—ready to respond instantly to any threat.
