Dania Beach and Miramar are the two cities that border Hollywood, where FSO Guard’s office and 24/7 dispatch are located, and between the three of them they cover the whole of south Broward from the ocean to the Everglades. They could not be more different. Dania Beach is the southern edge of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport: airport hotels, car rental and long-term parking lots, air cargo and freight forwarders along Griffin Road, marinas and boatyards on the Dania Cut-Off Canal, the design showrooms of the DCOTA district and the Dania Pointe retail and dining district. Miramar is corporate South Florida: headquarters campuses along Miramar Parkway, the Miramar Park of Commerce, distribution centers near the Turnpike and I-75, a hospital, schools and, west of I-75, one gated community after another. For a security company in Dania Beach or Miramar, that means two very different post books run from one nearby office.
Our supervisors reach any address in Dania Beach in five to ten minutes and east Miramar in ten to fifteen. Along with Hollywood, Hallandale Beach and Pembroke Pines and Weston, this is the ground our officers live on and drive every day.
Dania Beach: airport-area hotels, parking, cargo and rental lots
The blocks between Griffin Road and Stirling Road hold dozens of hotels, car rental return lots, long-term parking operators and freight yards, all busy around the clock and all exposed to the same problems: catalytic converter and wheel theft from parked cars, luggage theft from hotel lobbies, and trespassing in cargo yards at night. We provide lobby and parking officers for airport hotels, overnight mobile patrol with lock and fence checks for rental and parking lots, and fixed gate posts with driver and seal logs for air cargo and freight forwarders. Security inside the terminals is the airport’s; ours is everything around it.
Dania Beach: marinas, boatyards and the Design Center
The Dania Cut-Off Canal and the Intracoastal side of the city are lined with marinas, refit yards and marine suppliers, and boats in refit are a target: outboards, electronics, tools and copper disappear from open yards at night, and vessels are approached from the water where fences do not reach. Our yacht and marina security teams run dock patrols on foot, control the yard gate, check in contractors and stand overnight watches on vessels whose owners ask for one. The DCOTA showrooms and the Dania Pointe district use our retail security officers for showroom floors, parking and evening events, and the Dania Beach casino district is covered under nightlife and venue security for the bars and restaurants around it.
Miramar: corporate campuses and the Park of Commerce
Miramar has one of the largest concentrations of corporate headquarters in Broward, most of them along Miramar Parkway and in the Miramar Park of Commerce near the Turnpike. The work there is corporate security: lobby officers who run the visitor desk and badge system, access control for parking garages and loading docks, patrol of large surface lots, response to alarm and medical calls, and executive floor coverage during board meetings and layoffs. Campuses that run 24/7 operations centers ask for officers cleared for after-hours access with a supervisor who checks the post nightly. Our security consulting team writes the post orders and emergency plans that corporate insurers ask for.
Miramar: distribution centers, schools and gated communities
Between I-75 and the Turnpike Miramar is warehouses, and our warehouse security posts there follow the same model as our Doral sites: a fixed officer at the truck gate with driver ID and seal photographs, checkpoint patrols inside at night and a morning report the operations manager can read in two minutes. West of I-75 the city becomes residential: Silver Lakes, Sunset Lakes, Riviera Isles and dozens of smaller gated associations. We staff gatehouses, run mobile patrol at irregular times and work with boards under our HOA and gated community security program, including the visitor management software the association already uses. Miramar’s private and charter schools use our school campus security officers for arrival, dismissal and after-hours events.
Events, medical and investigations
Miramar Regional Park, the amphitheater and the city’s cultural center host concerts and festivals that need event security officers; the hospital campus and the medical offices around it use our healthcare security program. Under our Class A license, FSO Guard investigators handle corporate investigations for Miramar employers, background checks on staff and vendors, and process service across Broward.
