Assignment detail

What an unarmed security officers assignment covers in Virginia

What the assignment covers

NESF supplies unarmed officers registered as required in Virginia and working under DCJS license 11-6371. An officer is a visible, uniformed presence who observes, deters, documents and reports. Equipment is limited to a phone or radio, a flashlight, a log or reporting device and the client's site issue such as a vest or badge. Officers challenge and question people on site, refuse entry under post orders, summon law enforcement or fire services, and produce a written shift record.

When this is the right fit

Unarmed coverage suits deterrence, access control, patrol, fire watch and documentation work, which covers most construction and property assignments in Virginia. It is not the right answer where a written requirement calls for armed personnel, and NESF does not provide armed officers. For the assignment types unarmed officers handle, see Security Guard Services, Construction Site Security and Fire Watch.

What to have ready

Have the site address and hours, the duties expected of the post, uniform or PPE requirements such as hard hat, vest or boots, any site orientation or badging the officer must complete before starting, restricted areas, the reporting format, and the person who briefs the officer on the first shift.


Common questions

Questions about unarmed security officers in Virginia

What can an unarmed officer actually do if they find someone on the property?

The officer identifies themselves, asks the person to identify themselves and to leave if they are not authorized, records the description and any vehicle details, notifies the client contact, and calls law enforcement where a crime appears to be occurring. Officers do not detain, search, restrain or pursue. The value is early notice, a documented record and a visible deterrent presence.

Do NESF officers wear a uniform, and can they follow our site PPE rules?

Officers work in uniform so the presence is visible and recognizable. Site-specific personal protective equipment such as hard hats, high-visibility vests, eye protection or safety boots is normal on construction and industrial assignments, and NESF needs those requirements stated in the request. If your site requires a safety orientation or badging before entry, allow time for it before the first shift.
