Firing someone is never easy; in a small percentage of cases it is dangerous. FSO Guard provides employee termination and workplace security in Miami and South Florida — discreet armed or unarmed officers who plan the meeting with HR, are present but out of sight, make sure the employee leaves the building safely and with dignity, and stay for the days afterward when the risk is highest.

Termination security services
Pre-termination planning
A confidential review with HR and counsel: the employee’s history and access, the meeting location and timing, exit route, parking, personal belongings, badge and IT shutoff, communication with staff, and whether armed or unarmed coverage fits the risk.
On-site presence during the meeting
Officers in business attire positioned outside the meeting room or at reception — visible enough to deter, discreet enough not to humiliate — ready to intervene only if needed.
Escort out
A calm, respectful escort from the meeting to collect belongings and leave the property, with vehicle and plate noted for follow-up coverage.
Post-termination coverage
Officers at the entrance or lobby for the following days, photo and plate watch for the former employee, coordination with building security and police, and protection for managers who have been threatened.
Layoff and reduction-in-force support
Scaled teams for large layoffs — multiple meeting rooms, exits and parking areas covered, with a plan that keeps the day orderly and respectful.
Threat assessment and investigations
Licensed investigators to assess and document threats, research a former employee’s behavior and provide evidence for injunctions and police reports.
Ongoing workplace security
Reception and lobby officers, access control and after-hours coverage for companies that decide the risk warrants a permanent presence — see commercial security.
How it works
- Confidential call with HR, the business owner or counsel — the situation, the date, the location and the person.
- Plan and quote — number of officers, armed or unarmed, positioning, timing, follow-up days and a written price, usually within hours.
- The day — officers arrive early, brief with HR, take positions, and remain until the employee has left and the office has settled.
- Follow-up — coverage for the agreed days and an incident report if anything occurred.
Why HR teams choose FSO Guard
- Discretion — officers who look like consultants, not bouncers, and understand the dignity of the person being let go.
- Licensed Florida security agency (Class B), officers with Class D and Class G licenses, insurance as required by the state.
- De-escalation first — trained to talk, to give space and to intervene only when necessary, within Florida law.
- Speed — same-day coverage across Miami-Dade and Broward when a situation develops fast.
- English, Spanish and Russian speaking officers for diverse workforces.
