Search "unarmed security guards near me" and you'll find plenty of companies that offer both — and quietly pressure you toward armed because it's a bigger invoice. Stormhammer Security, Inc. does not. We are unarmed by design: every officer, every property, every shift. No firearms, no gun-safe, no weapon-training surcharge, no negligent-discharge insurance rider. Just uniformed presence, body-worn cameras, marked SUVs, and a 20-minute alarm-response median across the Sacramento metro. That's what most apartments, HOAs, retail plazas, warehouses, and construction sites in the region actually need.

Is unarmed enough for your property?
For the vast majority of Sacramento apartments, HOAs, retail, offices, warehouses, medical, dispensaries, self-storage, and construction — yes. Visible marked presence and documented tours deter far more incidents than a holstered sidearm ever will. If you have a truly armed-required scope (cash-in-transit, specific bank branches), we'll refer you out honestly rather than take a job that doesn't fit us.
