What an Armed Post Includes

The officer's job is to deter, observe and report. You agree the limits of that job with us in writing first.

Orders Written for Your Site

They spell out what gets checked, who can enter and the point at which police are called.

Escalation Kept in Check

Officers observe, warn and report before anything else, and the plan names when 911 is the next step.

A Strong Presence at the Entrance

A uniformed, armed officer at the door often stops trouble before it starts.

Opening and Closing Posts

Coverage can be set around opening, closing and cash pickups, when staff feel most exposed.

Scale Back When Risk Drops

If incidents stop, the post can move to an unarmed officer with the same company.

Notes for Your Records

Each shift ends with written notes that you can share with your insurer or landlord.

Local Coverage

Armed Guards Across Spokane

Armed posts usually go where money or valuable goods sit. That means Downtown banks and offices, stores along North Monroe and storage sites around the city.

Early winter closings leave staff walking to their cars in the dark. Many clients want an officer present for those last hours and for the first ones in the morning.

What Our Clients Say

Volatile materials demand a security posture that is absolute, and for several seasons, we’ve trusted Stonewall’s armed guards to protect our Spokane chemical plant. They are disciplined, detail-oriented, and they understand the gravity of their post. Their presence has completely eliminated the "probing" incidents we used to have at our fence line. I love that they are as technically minded about our safety risks as we are.

Moving high-value assets through the Inland Empire requires more than just a locked door; it requires a professional shield. Since we launched our storage facility in the Valley, Stonewall’s armed guards have been our only choice. They operate with total discretion and a level of situational awareness that is rare. They integrated with our safety board seamlessly and brought a level of oversight that our institutional investors demand.

Opening a vault in the early morning used to be the most stressful part of my day, but the presence of Stonewall’s armed guards has completely changed that dynamic. For several years, they have been the primary deterrent for our downtown banking hub. They carry themselves with a quiet, lethal discipline that gives our tellers real peace of mind. My advice to any financial institution: this level of protection is an investment in your people.

When an Armed Post Makes Sense

Plenty of properties never need one. Consider one if you hold cash or expensive stock, or if unarmed coverage has not stopped repeat problems. A lender, landlord or insurer may also require it.

Unarmed or Armed?

We would rather talk you out of a post you do not need. Tell us what has happened at the site, and we will tell you which one fits.

How We Set Up an Armed Post

It starts with a look at the building and ends with a schedule and written orders you have approved.

Placement Based on Your Layout

The officer's position and rounds follow your doors, traffic and blind spots.

Records After Every Shift

You get written notes on what was checked and what happened, in a form you can keep.

Spokane Sites That Use Armed Guards

Banks & Cash Handling

Banks and cash businesses can post an officer through business hours and whenever the vault or safe is opened.

High-Value Retail

Jewelry, electronics and other expensive goods draw quick theft. An armed officer near the front makes that much less appealing.

Sites With Repeat Incidents

When break-ins, threats or trespassing continue despite unarmed coverage, an armed post can be the next step.

Medical Facilities

Clinics storing medication or dealing with tense waiting rooms can place an officer at the entrance, coordinated with staff.

Warehouses & Storage

Storage and distribution sites use armed officers at gates, loading areas and wherever valuable goods sit overnight.

Public Buildings

Government offices, permit counters and meeting rooms can use an armed officer to keep order during public hours.
