The question behind most Indiana calls is practical: do you need someone at the door all day, a car that comes through after hours, or a person at the gate who can process trucks? SecureOne holds Indiana License #SG22000036. We start by walking the property with you, then we write a plan for that address, not a generic package.
Armed and unarmed security officers
For an Indianapolis lobby, a Merrillville warehouse desk or a Fort Wayne plant entrance, an unarmed officer is usually enough: someone who already knows who belongs in the building, when each door should be secured, and how to respond if a situation starts to go wrong. Armed officers are for a narrower set of risks, such as cash on hand, high-value cargo, or a documented history of violence at the site. We will tell you which option fits your property, and we will not treat armed coverage as the default.
An officer does not work your post alone until they have finished the training Indiana requires and a set of orders written for that site. A field supervisor stays with them for the first shifts. We look for people with a military, police or security background, and First Aid and CPR certification is part of the standard.
Mobile patrol services
If the property does not need someone standing there all night, a marked patrol is often the better spend. The officer arrives on a schedule you approve, or at irregular times so the visits are hard to predict, then checks doors, gates, lots and fence lines, locks and unlocks buildings, and answers alarm calls. That arrangement fits a Northwest Indiana warehouse after the last truck leaves, an Indianapolis jobsite that shuts down at dusk, or an apartment community that wants overnight rounds. You receive a written report by email each day. The car is tracked live with GPS Insight and carries 360-degree cameras, so we can show you the visit.
Solar camera trailers
Some Indiana sites have no electrical hookup and no one there after dark: a construction parcel in Indianapolis, a trailer yard near the Borman, the back edge of a large industrial lot. A solar camera trailer can watch that ground overnight. The unit runs on its own power, is monitored around the clock, and is set up with motion alerts, cameras that pan and zoom, and a speaker so a monitor can speak to the property. A backup power system keeps it running when the sun is not enough. Equipment details are on SecureOne's solar surveillance units page.
Off-duty police officers
A small number of Indiana posts are better served by a sworn officer than by a security officer. SecureOne can assign police officers who are off duty or recently retired and still in good standing. We run a background check, train them on our force rules, and require CPR, AED and First Aid certification.
Event and short-term security
For a single event, a short project or a sudden gap in coverage, we can put armed or unarmed officers on the property and work out the plan with you before they arrive. In 2019, company records show more than 80,000 manhours devoted to temporary posts and events.
Security training
Every Indiana post includes training written for that site, on top of the training the state requires. Officers also train in First Aid, CPR and AED, and they complete annual refresher training. New officers work alongside a field supervisor until they can handle the post on their own. SecureOne lists security training among the contract services offered on its Indiana page.
Security by industry in Indiana
Warehouses, gates and industrial sites
Northwest Indiana and the industrial areas around Indianapolis rely on officers who can run a gate, check a bill of lading, inspect a trailer seal and walk a yard between shifts. This is a core part of the work on SecureOne's published Indiana page, which specifically mentions warehouse security in Northwest Indiana and industrial security around Indianapolis. See also SecureOne's industrial security services.
Offices and commercial property
Office buildings and business parks, including in Indianapolis, use our officers for lobby coverage, visitor check-in, employee escorts, lock-up and vacant suite checks.
Construction sites
Jobsites face theft of materials and equipment once the crews leave. SecureOne's construction security services combine posted and roving officers with camera trailers, for a single phase or the life of the project. Construction coverage is one of the Indianapolis services SecureOne already publishes.
Apartments and residential communities
Apartment communities use posted officers and patrols to give residents a consistent, professional presence, with clear incident reports for the management office. Apartment security is listed on SecureOne's Indianapolis page.
Hospitals and assisted living
Assisted living and hospital security are among the Indiana assignments SecureOne already describes. These posts need officers who can greet residents, patients and visitors calmly while they watch entrances, parking and after-hours activity.
Retail and shopping centers
Our retail security officers are trained to represent your brand while they discourage theft, vandalism and break-ins in the parking lot. If something starts, the officer's job is to calm the situation and bring in the police, not to run after anyone. Shopping center coverage is already listed among SecureOne's Indianapolis services.
How we run an Indiana account
You deal with one manager who knows your site and can be reached at any hour, with a 24-hour dispatch center behind that person. Shift reports, photos and patrol checks go into Vision InSites so you can read them yourself. Supervisor visits are included. Scheduling and billing run through WinTeam. Officers on the property wear a tan shirt, black hat, black pants and black shoes. Because SecureOne is licensed in 18 states, a client with buildings outside Indiana can still keep a single company and a single contact.
