Security service
ATPS Security provides unarmed security guards for offices, residential communities, retail stores and job sites. Our officers control access, patrol on a set schedule, greet visitors and write clear incident reports. Every officer is drug tested and background checked, and GPS-enabled check-ins show you each round was completed.

Unarmed Security Guards
Updated October 2026
Most security problems are solved by an attentive officer who is visible, awake and paying attention. That is what unarmed coverage should deliver, and it is where many providers fall short: officers who sit in a car, miss rounds or never write anything down.
We fix that with training, supervision and proof. Officers are trained in customer service, crisis prevention and intervention, and report writing, and they check in through GPS-enabled software so you can see the work.
Coverage
Lobby and gate posts, visitor logs, badge checks and deliveries.
Scheduled rounds with GPS-verified checkpoints inside and outside the property.
A professional first point of contact for tenants, residents and guests.
De-escalation, calls to police when needed and a written report for every incident.
We hear the same reasons from new clients: officers who were not at their post, reports that never arrived, and no one in management who returned a call. Our answer is simple. Supervisors check posts, check-ins are required, and you have direct access to the leadership team.
