Professional, cost-effective security presence for businesses, residential communities, and commercial properties. Licensed, trained, and accountable.
What We Provide
Unarmed security guards provide a credible, visible security presence without the premium cost of armed deployment. For most commercial and residential environments, a well-trained unarmed officer is the most effective and cost-efficient solution.
Every Tyde Link unarmed officer is licensed under NC GS Chapter 74C, trained to state requirements, and deployed with a clear briefing on your property and expectations. Professional appearance, professional conduct — every shift.
