ARMED SECURITY GUARDS
Armed security is a legal and operational category that carries specific accountability — not just for the agency deploying the guard, but for the client engaging that agency. An armed guard without a valid weapon licence is not a security asset. They are a legal liability for every party involved. Before anything else on this page, this is the question you should be asking any agency you consider for armed security: Can you provide the weapon licence for every armed guard before deployment begins?
Promiso Security Services provides PSARA-licensed armed security guards across Indore and Madhya Pradesh. Every armed guard we deploy holds a valid, government-issued weapon licence — and that licence, along with their police verification certificate and PSARA training certificate, is shared with you before they arrive at your site.
● Provide visible, legally authorised armed deterrence at high-risk access points and perimeters
● Conduct strict physical access control at facility entry with authority to challenge, restrict, and escalate
● Protect high-value assets — cash holdings, jewellery, pharmaceutical stock, sensitive materials, electronics
● Escort cash-in-transit and high-value material during transportation operations
● Guard currency chests, vault areas, and high-security storage rooms during and outside operating hours
● Provide close protection for VIP individuals during movement, at events, and at their premises
● Respond to security incidents with the authority and preparedness that armed deployment carries
● Coordinate with police and law enforcement during serious security events
● Work as part of an integrated security setup alongside CCTV monitoring and unarmed guards
● Bank branches and financial institution offices across Indore and Madhya Pradesh
● Currency chests and cash processing centres
● ATM kiosks requiring armed presence under RBI or bank policy
● Jewellery showrooms and high-value retail — particularly on AB Road, Vijay Nagar corridors
● Cash-in-transit operations and armoured vehicle escort
● Pharmaceutical companies with high-value drug storage in the Pithampur and Sanwer Road belt
● Government and PSU facilities with elevated security classifications
● VIP residences and personal protection assignments across MP
Weapon licences for security guards are issued under the Arms Act of India by the district administration or the relevant competent authority. They specify the weapon type the guard is authorised to carry and are maintained in current, valid status for all active deployments. We do not deploy any armed guard without a valid, current weapon licence — and we do not ask clients to take our word for this. We provide the licence document before deployment begins.
Armed guard deployments operate strictly within the framework of our PSARA licence for Madhya Pradesh. Our licence authorises the deployment of armed guards within the state, and all deployments comply with PSARA regulations and guidelines for armed security.
● Weapon licence copy — government-issued, valid, with expiry date
● PSARA training certificate for the specific guard assigned
● Police verification certificate
● Identity document
Our armed guards complete the full standard PSARA-compliant training programme — gate management, first aid, fire safety, professional communication, report writing, and emergency response. In addition, they receive specific armed security training:
● Weapon handling, safe carry, field maintenance, and storage procedures
● Legal limits of armed force — when use of force is and is not legally authorised
● Robbery response protocols — specific to financial institution environments
● De-escalation as first response — the weapon is a deterrent and a last resort, not a first option
● Coordination with the police during serious security incidents
● Armed escort procedures for cash-in-transit and high-value material movement
We recommend armed guards when the environment genuinely requires it — not to generate a higher contract. Armed deployment is appropriate for:
● Facilities where cash volumes or asset values create an elevated robbery risk
● Deployments where RBI guidelines, insurance policy, or internal bank security policy mandates armed presence
● VIP personal protection where the individual’s profile or situation warrants armed close protection
● High-value pharmaceutical or chemical storage with specific physical security requirements
For factories, corporate offices, hospitals, schools, and most residential and retail environments, well-trained unarmed guards provide adequate and appropriate security.
We will always tell you which is right for your situation — even if the answer is cheaper than armed deployment.
Your questions answered: clarity on our services and processes.
The licence document will show the issuing authority (typically the district administration), the licence number, the weapon type, and the expiry date. You can verify the licence number with the issuing authority independently. We encourage this verification for any armed deployment.
Our armed guards receive specific robbery response training: prioritise the safety of all persons present above all else, do not attempt to physically resist an armed robbery in progress, activate distress communication with our operations team and police, observe and retain accurate details of perpetrators and events for law enforcement, and preserve the scene. The asset value of what was taken is always secondary to the safety of staff, customers, and the guard.
Yes — and this is a common deployment structure for bank branches and financial institutions. An armed guard may be stationed at the main entrance and cash counter area, while unarmed guards manage the parking area, staff entry, and general branch floor. We structure the deployment based on where armed presence genuinely adds security value.
Call us for a free security assessment. We visit your site, assess the actual risk profile, and give you an honest recommendation. Several clients who initially requested armed guards ended up with a well-structured unarmed deployment that better matched their environment. We would rather give you the right solution than the more expensive one.
