What a Guard on Post Covers

A guard on post is there to be seen, to check who comes in and to write down what happens.

Front Desk and Lobby

Visitors are greeted, signed in and pointed the right way, so your staff can keep working.

Doors, Gates and Docks

The officer checks who enters and keeps service doors and loading docks shut when they should be.

Rounds Inside and Out

Set walks cover stairwells, parking and fence lines, with each round noted in the log.

Calm First, Then Help

Officers talk to people before anything else and call 911 at the point your orders set.

Unarmed or Armed

Most posts are unarmed. An armed officer is added only where cash, stock or past incidents call for it.

A Report Every Shift

You get written notes on what was checked and anything that happened, ready for your files.

Local Coverage

Where Our Guards Work in Spokane

Our officers cover an office tower Downtown, a South Hill medical facility and a campus near the University District. Retail along North Monroe and a development in the Perry District use them too.

Most posts start with one officer at the main entrance. Larger sites add a second for rounds or the loading dock once we have walked the property together.

Really happy with Stonewall Security! The guard we had was super friendly and did a great job keeping an eye on our facility. They were professional, thorough, and easy to work with. Definitely recommend them!

Shoplifting isn't just a loss-prevention issue; it's a morale killer for institutional retail along the North Monroe corridor. We’ve been repeat clients for a few seasons now, and the unarmed guard services through Stonewall have effectively shut down the blatant theft we used to face. The guards are visible, they are active, and they aren't afraid to engage when someone looks "off" in the common areas. My opinion? A proactive guard is your best defense against property crime.

Skyline views lose their luster if the lobby feels vulnerable, which is why our downtown office tower has relied on Stonewall for several contract renewals. Their unarmed guard services provide the executive polish that our high-end tenants expect. They are articulate, observant, and they treat our facility with a level of respect that matches our brand. My opinion is that if your front-end security doesn't look the part, your whole building's value takes a hit this team ensures we never have that problem.

Higher education requires a perimeter that doesn't feel like a cage, and the work done at our campus near the University District over this past year has been a masterclass in balance. As new clients, we needed unarmed guard services that could stay approachable for students while remaining impenetrable to unauthorized trespassers. Stonewall delivered exactly that. They’ve already identified four lighting and fencing vulnerabilities we’d overlooked for years. They are a professional shield we deeply value for the Lilac City’s future.

The 3 AM stillness in a trauma centre is deceptive, and for several budget cycles, our South Hill medical facility has depended on the calm authority of these guards. Their unarmed guard services are the only reason our night-shift staff feels truly safe. I love the way they de-escalate high-emotion situations in the lobby without ever raising their voices. They aren't just contractors; they are a clinical part of our patient-safety mission. If you’re in healthcare, take my advice: hire the team that understands empathy as much as enforcement.

Modern urban development needs a security partner that understands the neighborhood vibe, and our project in the Perry District has been safe for over a year because of this team. As repeat clients, we needed unarmed guard services that felt refined but remained impenetrable. They fit the neighborhood’s polished look while maintaining a serious security posture. I love the fact that they are as observant about property maintenance as they are about security.

When a Guard on Post Is the Right Fit

A posted guard suits places with people coming and going all day, like lobbies, clinics, stores and campuses. Sites that empty out after hours often need less. A few patrol stops a night can be enough.

  • Visitors check in at a front desk or main door
  • Theft or trespass happens during open hours
  • Staff want someone to call on during the shift
  • A lease, client or insurer asks for an officer on site
