Unarmed Security Guards & Officers in Memphis, TN

Unarmed officers carry most of Memphis. They work the door on Beale Street, where the city's biggest tourism draw runs seven nights a week and the job is reading a crowd rather than confronting it. They staff the visitor desks and wayfinding posts across the Medical District, where families arriving at St. Jude, Le Bonheur or Regional One are frequently having the worst day of their lives. They cover the loading docks and driver check-in lanes at the distribution centers ringing the airport, the leasing offices in Midtown and Cordova apartment communities, the gates on downtown conversion projects, and the lobbies of Crosstown Concourse where a high school, a clinic, apartments and retail share one building. None of that calls for a firearm. It calls for a licensed, uniformed professional who writes a clean report. Calvis connects Memphis property managers, contractors and venue operators with Tennessee-registered unarmed guards.

Tennessee registers unarmed security guards through the Private Protective Services Licensing Board, part of the Department of Commerce and Insurance, and licenses the contract security companies that employ them. Unarmed registration requires a four-hour pre-assignment training segment plus four hours of on-the-job training, a criminal background check, and renewal on a set cycle. Memphis demand runs heavily toward logistics facilities, healthcare campuses and the entertainment corridor, which means overnight and weekend coverage is the norm rather than the exception. Calvis verifies each guard's Tennessee registration before they are placed on your post.
