Coverage Capability • Armed

Common Use Cases
Use an armed posture only when the assignment supports it.
The environment, credible concerns, officer duties, and client requirements must support the decision.
Elevated exposure
Use an armed posture where high-value assets, credible threats, repeated incidents, or the operating environment justify it.
Visible deterrence
Support controlled facilities, sensitive locations, or limited-duration situations requiring a clear security presence.
Layered coverage
Combine armed and unarmed roles when different posts, duties, or public-facing areas require different approaches.
Before Deployment
Define authority, duties, and escalation before deployment.
Before coverage begins, KDI confirms the post location, operating hours, access rules, known concerns, authorized contacts, emergency procedures, and reporting expectations. The armed or unarmed posture is addressed as part of that review.
