Yes. Every Palisade Defense security officer holds a valid PILB (Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board) guard card, as required by state law.

You can request proof of licensing at any time—we’re fully transparent about our credentials.

Not necessarily—it depends on your environment and risk level. Studies consistently show that a visible, uniform presence is one of the most effective crime deterrents available. For the vast majority of Las Vegas businesses, retail centers, residential complexes, and corporate offices, unarmed security provides all the protection needed at a lower cost and with a more approachable presence for customers and residents.
Our unarmed officers do not carry firearms. Depending on the contract and applicable Nevada law, they may carry non-lethal tools such as handcuffs or communication devices. Every officer is trained in physical de-escalation and will always prioritize verbal resolution and contacting law enforcement when a situation requires a higher-level response.
