Jacksonville's Naval Station Mayport, large port operations, expanding commercial corridors, and the largest land area of any U.S. city create diverse demand for private security guard services across a wide geographic footprint.

Security Market in Jacksonville

Jacksonville guard companies serve Naval Station Mayport and Naval Air Station Jacksonville support operations, JAXPORT marine terminal facilities, the St. Johns Town Center and Regency Square retail areas, downtown office buildings and the emerging Brooklyn district, the Jacksonville Beach entertainment corridor, and residential communities spread across the city's 875 square miles.

Local Licensing Requirements

Florida's Division of Licensing under the Department of Agriculture regulates security guard companies and individual guards. Companies need a Class B Security Agency license, and guards must complete 40 hours of professional training. Armed guards require a Class G Statewide Firearm License. Jacksonville also requires coordination with JSO for event security and may require additional Duval County business licensing.
