Where this is used
- High-value property and inventory
- Elevated-threat or incident-driven assignments
- Sensitive access points and controlled facilities
- Events or locations requiring a visible armed deterrent
Coverage
Armed only when the assignment actually calls for it.
Armed coverage is a decision, not a default. KDI reviews the environment, credible concerns, client expectations, officer duties, and licensing before recommending an armed posture.
What we put on the post
- Properly licensed armed security personnel
- Static-post, access-control, patrol, or escort duties
- Assignment-specific post instructions and use-of-force expectations
- Communication, incident response, and written reporting
- Coordination with property contacts and law enforcement when required
What management can expect
- Armed posture assessed against the actual risk
- Verification of licensing and assignment requirements
- Clear duties, restricted areas, escalation contacts, and reporting rules
- Professional bearing with restraint
Pilot and planning range
Qualified recurring assignments may begin with a 30-day pilot. Typical planning ranges are $38–$48 unarmed and $48–$60 armed per officer-hour. No long-term agreement is required to start.

Coverage
Unarmed Security Officers
Most posts need alert officers, a clean uniform, and a report. Unarmed coverage handles access control, observation, patrol, guest or vendor interaction, documentation, and prompt escalation.
PropertiesConstruction Site Security
KDI covers active builds, staging yards, renovations, and the project phases where copper, tools, and appliances sit unattended. Coverage follows the superintendent's plan, not a generic guard script.
PropertiesDealership and Vehicle-Lot Security
Dealerships mix open customer access with high-value, mobile inventory. KDI deters trespass, theft, vandalism, catalytic-converter loss, and after-hours activity through visible patrol, controlled access, and documented checks.
