Insurance designed for security guard operations

Key risks & why insurance matters

Security guard and patrol services take on contractual obligations, public safety responsibilities, and complex regulatory demands. Your teams are exposed to third-party claims, onsite incidents, auto accidents, and on-the-job injuries—especially with multi-site operations and high-traffic assignments.

Purpose-built insurance steps in to shield you from legal costs, settlements, and property losses, as well as to keep your contracts compliant and your reputation intact. Carriers typically address these exposures through policies like general liability, workers comp, commercial auto, and umbrella coverage.

Core coverages for your operations

Your industry faces unique exposures, and working with The Southern Agency means you collaborate with an advisor who understands what you encounter every shift. Together, you’ll build out a protection plan that might include:
  • General liability: Covers third-party injury or property damage claims—critical whether you’re securing commercial properties, events, or residential communities.
  • Workers comp: Provides support for medical expenses and lost wages if a guard is injured while on duty, including during physical altercations or patrol incidents.
  • Commercial auto: Protects vehicles and drivers transporting guards, equipment, or cash between client sites, addressing both collision and liability scenarios.
  • Professional liability: Safeguards against claims of alleged errors, omissions, or failed duties, such as accused negligence during incident response or missed patrols.
  • Property insurance: Shields offices, surveillance equipment, and base of operations from theft, fire, and vandalism—helping your business recover quickly from unexpected losses.
  • Umbrella/excess liability: Extends limits above your other policies, providing an extra layer of security when exceptionally large third-party claims occur.
