Phoenix's massive metro footprint, luxury resort corridor in Scottsdale, extensive suburban commercial development, and year-round outdoor events create one of the fastest-growing security guard markets in the western United States.

Security Market in Phoenix

Phoenix guard companies serve the Scottsdale resort and luxury retail corridor, downtown Phoenix office towers and the Roosevelt Row arts district, Tempe's Arizona State University campus and Mill Avenue entertainment area, Chandler's tech corridor, major event venues including State Farm Stadium and Footprint Center, and the sprawling residential communities with gated neighborhoods requiring HOA patrol services throughout the Valley.

Local Licensing Requirements

Arizona requires security guard companies to obtain a license from the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Guards must complete 8 hours of pre-assignment training and pass background checks. Armed guards need an additional 16 hours of firearms training. Maricopa County and individual cities within the Valley may have additional business licensing requirements.
