Armed Security
Florida Class G licensed armed security officers for high-risk environments.
Overview
What Is Armed Security?
Vice Miami Global deploys Florida-licensed armed security officers — all holding valid Class G licenses issued by FL DACS — for clients and environments where armed presence is operationally warranted. Armed security assignments include protecting financial institutions, jewelry stores, private collections, cash-intensive businesses, executive principals, and high-value assets in Miami-Dade and Broward. VMG maintains strict compliance standards: all armed officers receive ongoing firearms training, license verification, and use-of-force certification. We do not deploy armed officers where armed presence is unnecessary or counterproductive — every armed assignment begins with an operational assessment to confirm the appropriate security posture. This approach protects our clients from both under-preparedness and from the liability and optics risks of inappropriate weapons deployment.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A Florida Class G license is the Statewide Firearms License issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FL DACS). It authorizes a licensed security officer to carry a firearm while on duty. All VMG armed security officers hold valid, current Class G licenses.
Armed officers are recommended when the environment presents a threat level that unarmed officers cannot adequately manage, when high-value assets require armed deterrence, or when the client's personal threat profile warrants armed protection. VMG conducts an operational assessment to make a professional recommendation — we do not up-sell armed services where they are not warranted.
All VMG armed officers complete the Florida Class G licensing requirements, which include firearm proficiency certification and range qualification. VMG supplements this with ongoing training in use-of-force protocols, de-escalation techniques, and Florida law governing the use of force in a security context.
Yes. Hybrid deployments are common — for example, armed officers at primary access points and unarmed officers at secondary posts. VMG designs post assignments based on the specific security needs of each location, not a one-size approach.
Yes. VMG provides armed security coverage across all shifts, including overnight, weekends, and holidays in Miami-Dade and Broward County.
