Our armed officers provide an additional measure of protection to our clients’ sites. The service is utilized in locations where a heightened security presence is required. Deployed at client facilities located in markets with a greater risk of violence and other criminal activity, the presence of our armed officers is an effective deterrent to property theft and violent crime. Metro One LPSG employs active or former members of law enforcement agencies exclusively as armed officers. Combining law enforcement experience with the training they receive through the Metro One LPSG Training Program, they are equipped to professionally handle any contingency that might arise with the safety of our clients’ employees and customers as their primary objective.


Metro One LPSG has tailored the service to support our clients’ retail loss prevention/asset protection programs. Posted at the entrances and exits of our clients’ retail locations, armed officers serve as a highly effective deterrent to shoplifting. They assist in controlling exits by performing receipt verification and assisting management in responding to EAS activations. All members of our armed division are fully supported by the training and supervision provided by the Metro One LPSG field management team.






The EOD program provides our clients’ an additional option in providing protection for higher risk environments. The program is designed for locations where a more overt deterrent to criminal activity is desired. The uniform and appearance of the EOD officer is designed to enhance their presence as a visual deterrent to criminal activity. EOD personnel are selected from our roster of armed officers for their professionalism and ability to operate in higher risk environments. This specialized service is designed for suppression of armed robberies and other commercial crimes, labor disputes, civil disturbances and specific threats of work place violence. Our ability to rapidly deploy EOD officers as unanticipated, high-risk situations develop enables our clients to continue business operations and quickly restore the safety of their employees, customers and the security of physical assets. EOD officers are active or retired law enforcement professionals who are perfectly suited to interact with our clients’ employees and their customers.


Similar to our armed officer service, the EOD concept has been successfully introduced into retail environments at locations experiencing persistent and aggressive shoplifting. It is designed as an answer to shoplifting rings who intimidate sales staffs through threats of violent retaliation. Exits are controlled through receipt verification and assisting management in responding to EAS activations. The EOD program is also effective at restoring confidence in customers and employees following an armed robbery or other violent occurrence at the location.


EOD Shift Supervisors and our District Managers ensure that all officers have successfully completed the EOD Training Program. EOD post standards are maintained by frequent officer assessments and client contact conducted by our field management team.






Natural disasters, civil unrest and acts of terrorism can place the safety of your employees, customers and physical assets at extreme risk. The consequences of overwhelmed law enforcement, utility failures and infrastructure damage can result in devastating losses and business disruption. The ability to quickly deploy a disciplined, professional security force to a troubled area can avert severe financial losses and injury to personnel. The Metro One Emergency Response Division can rapidly deploy our armed personnel to disaster sites. Our air logistics partner uniquely positions us to deploy manpower and equipment to even the most severely impacted locations. Our management team provides on-the-ground direction and coordinates the effort with the client and local law enforcement. Our Emergency Response Teams consist of active and former law enforcement professionals who are fully prepared to contend with any contingency that might arise while complying with all regulatory requirements and client direction.

Our ability to rapidly deploy assets where they are critically needed puts our emergency response services at the top of the security industry.
