Introduction
In environments where the stakes are high and the threat landscape demands an assertive security posture, armed guarding is not optional — it is essential. Across Kenya’s financial districts, industrial corridors, cash-handling operations, and high-value storage facilities, the presence of a trained, licensed armed guard sends an unambiguous message: this target is protected.
Groupten Security Services deploys a carefully selected cadre of licensed armed security officers across Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos, and beyond. Every armed officer is vetted to the highest standard, trained in use-of-force protocols, and operates under strict legal and ethical guidelines in full compliance with Kenyan law.
What Are Armed Guard Services?
Armed guard services involve the deployment of licensed security officers carrying legally registered firearms to protect people, property, assets, or information in high-risk environments. Armed guards serve both as a powerful deterrent and as an immediate response capability when security threats escalate beyond the capacity of unarmed personnel.
Core Armed Guard Services
Static Armed Guard Posts
Groupten deploys armed officers at fixed posts — entrances, control rooms, cash offices, and high-value storage areas — where a visible armed presence is required around the clock. Shift rotations ensure guards remain alert and operationally effective throughout each deployment.
Armed Cash-in-Transit Escorts
Transporting cash or high-value goods across Nairobi, Kiambu, or Machakos requires trained armed escorts. Groupten’s CIT-trained armed officers work alongside secure vehicles to ensure the safe movement of cash and valuables from point to point.
Bank & Financial Institution Security
Groupten provides armed security officers for banking halls, ATM lobbies, and financial back-offices. Officers are trained in customer-facing professionalism while maintaining constant situational awareness and operational readiness.
Armed VIP Protection
In conjunction with Groupten’s executive protection services, armed officers are deployed as part of close protection details for high-net-worth individuals, corporate executives, and diplomatic personnel operating in elevated-risk environments.
Retail & Commercial Armed Guarding
High-end retail outlets, jewellery stores, pharmacies, and supermarkets handling significant daily cash volumes benefit from Groupten’s armed retail guarding solutions, which balance visible deterrence with a welcoming customer environment.
Industrial & Warehouse Armed Security
Large manufacturing plants, logistics hubs, and bonded warehouses storing high-value goods require a security posture that unarmed guards alone cannot provide. Groupten’s industrial armed guard teams protect assets, manage access, and respond decisively to any attempted breach.
Armed Guard Supervision & Compliance
All Groupten armed deployments are supported by on-the-ground supervisors who conduct regular welfare checks, weapons inspections, and compliance audits to ensure every officer on duty meets exacting professional standards.
