Security Services Northwest provides armed and unarmed security guards in Seattle, WA for businesses, events, construction sites, and residential properties. We have staffed assignments across the Seattle area since 1977, from a single guard at a grand opening to a full team securing a government building, backed by a dispatch center that runs 24 hours a day.
Armed and Unarmed Security for Seattle
SSNW security guards are trained to handle a wide range of assignments across the city. We provide coverage for festivals, special events, and installations, construction sites, medical facilities, neighborhood patrol, retail, school campuses, anti-terrorist security, and personal security.
We staff residential, commercial, and industrial sites that need ongoing protection. Whether you need unarmed guards for a calm, visible presence at a tech campus or medical center, or armed coverage for a higher-risk site, we place guards based on your property and your risk level rather than a fixed package.
For dedicated, long-term single-site coverage, many Seattle clients use our Seattle security officer services, and for large gatherings our Seattle event security team handles crowd control and venue access.
Added Security Measures
Guards are often part of a larger security picture. Alongside staffing, SSNW can install burglar alarms, camera systems, and remote monitoring systems so your Seattle site is covered when a guard is not physically posted at every point. Our dispatch center is staffed 24/7, so you can reach our team at any hour, whether you have a concern or need guards on short notice.
Short- and Long-Term Assignments
Our Seattle guards are available for both short-term and long-term coverage. We have decades of experience staffing single events that run a day or a weekend, and we place guards for weeks, months, or an open-ended term when a site needs a continuous presence. We work to whatever duration your situation calls for.
Answering Service
We provide 24-hour answering and dispatch for the Seattle area. For many businesses this costs well under the monthly salary of a full-time receptionist and removes the cost of covering shifts when staff are out. Calls are handled by our staffed dispatch center, not an automated line.
