South Florida's Trusted Unarmed Security Professionals

Since 2002, Cherubims Security Services has deployed licensed unarmed security officers across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Our Class D licensed officers provide the visible, professional presence that deters crime, manages access, and keeps your property, residents, and employees safe.

Unarmed security is the right choice for environments where a professional, approachable presence is more effective than a show of force — retail centers, HOA communities, corporate lobbies, schools, and events. Our officers are trained not just in security protocols, but in customer service, de-escalation, and emergency response.
