A security company in Miami Beach has to work three very different shifts. Daytime is residential buildings, hotels and retail on Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue. Evening is restaurants, clubs and events from Ocean Drive to Mid-Beach. Overnight is condominium lobbies, garages, island estates and the guests and situations that come with a city that never fully closes. FSO Guard is a licensed Florida Class B security agency (B3100530) and Class A investigative agency (A 1000095) with officers on the Beach every day of the year: concierge and lobby security, hotel security, nightlife and event teams, VIP protection and residential security for the islands, in English, Spanish and Russian.
Security services in Miami Beach
Residential buildings and condominiums
Concierge and lobby officers, overnight posts and garage, pool deck and beach access rounds for towers on Collins Avenue, West Avenue, Belle Isle, Mid-Beach and North Beach; short-term rental enforcement and contractor control for associations. Armed officers where the building’s risk profile calls for them.
Hotels and short-term rentals
Hotel security for Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue and Mid-Beach resorts and boutique hotels off Lincoln Road: door and lobby officers, pool and beach club posts, spring break and holiday reinforcement, plainclothes coverage for high-profile guests and door and noise control for vacation rental buildings.
Nightlife, bars and private parties
Nightclub and bar security for door, ID and capacity, floor and closing; officers for villa and rooftop parties, pool parties and yacht parties from Miami Beach Marina and Sunset Harbour, with de-escalation training rather than bouncer culture.
Events, Art Basel and festivals
Event security for Art Basel and the satellite fairs, Convention Center functions, Miami Music Week, the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, the Boat Show, Art Deco Weekend, brand activations on the sand and weddings at the beach hotels. See our event security planning guide.
VIP, celebrity and executive protection
Bodyguards and executive protection for artists, athletes, collectors and executives staying on the Beach: hotel floor and suite security, club and restaurant movements, security drivers to MIA and Opa-locka and female protection agents where the client prefers them.
Island and waterfront residences
Estate security for Star, Palm and Hibiscus Islands, the Venetian and Sunset Islands, La Gorce, North Bay Road and Pine Tree Drive: gate and dock posts, camera monitoring, staff and vendor control and coverage while owners are away.
Retail, restaurants and offices
Retail security on Lincoln Road, Collins Avenue and in the Design District-style boutiques of Sunset Harbour, officers for restaurants on Ocean Drive and Española Way, and lobby posts for the offices and medical buildings on Alton Road and 41st Street.
Yachts, marinas and investigations
Yacht security at Miami Beach Marina and Sunset Harbour during charters, parties and the Boat Show, mobile patrol for buildings that need rounds rather than a fixed post, and private investigators for household staff vetting, tenant and contractor background checks and domestic matters.
Why Miami Beach associations, hotels and families choose FSO Guard
- Officers who fit the property. A blazer and a lapel pin in a condominium lobby, a suit at a hotel entrance, a polo and a radio on a construction site, a plainclothes agent beside a celebrity. We choose the officer, the wardrobe and the licensing level for the post, not one uniform for every job.
- Hospitality first, control always. On the Beach a rude guard costs a building residents and a hotel its reviews. Our officers are trained to greet, to resolve and to de-escalate, while still holding the access rules the board or the general manager set.
- Season and event planning. Art Basel, Miami Music Week, spring break and the Boat Show are planned months ahead. Standing clients get their teams held; event clients get a written plan, a certificate of insurance and a supervisor on site.
- Three languages. English, Spanish and Russian speaking officers for buildings and families where that is the daily reality, from South Beach to Sunny Isles Beach and Bal Harbour.
- One agency across the Bay. The same supervisor and post orders follow a client from a Beach condominium to a Brickell office or a Fort Lauderdale yacht, which is why clients compare us with security companies covering all of South Florida. Licensed Class B agency, Class D and Class G officers, insurance as required by the state.
