Most people comparing security companies in West Palm Beach have one of two problems. Either a home, a family and a household that need protecting quietly on the island or in an estate community, or a building, business or event in a downtown that has grown faster than its security. FSO Guard is a licensed Florida Class B security agency (B3100530) and Class A investigative agency (A 1000095) that has worked Palm Beach County from our Hollywood, FL base for years: estate and residential teams, armed and unarmed guards, gated community and condominium posts, season events, yacht and marina coverage, executive protection and licensed private investigators, with officers who speak English, Spanish and Russian.

What security in Palm Beach County requires that other markets do not
- Household experience. On the island the officer works inside a private household: estate managers, housekeepers, chefs, drivers, contractors and guests. Our residential leads know how to be present without being in the way, keep a vendor log the estate manager can actually use and handle a delivery of art or jewelry as a security event, not a doorbell.
- Discretion that holds. Non-disclosure agreements for every officer, unmarked vehicles where the client prefers them, no photographs, no names, and agents who understand that the family’s privacy matters more than the appearance of security.
- Season planning. From Thanksgiving to Easter the county’s population, traffic and event calendar change completely. We plan season staffing in October, hold officers for standing clients and add teams for galas, the boat show and Wellington’s equestrian months.
- Two counties, one supervisor. Many Palm Beach families also keep a residence, an office or a yacht in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. The same supervisor and the same post orders follow the client from Miami Beach to Jupiter, which is why clients compare us with security companies covering all of South Florida rather than with a local guard firm.
- Licensed, insured, written. Class B agency license, Class D and Class G officers, insurance as required by the state, certificates of insurance naming your association or venue, and written post orders and shift reports for every account. Read our guide to Florida security license classes if you want to know what the letters mean.

How we start an account in West Palm Beach
Call 888.881.8099, use the SMS or send the form on this page. For an estate or a family, a residential lead visits, walks the property with the estate manager and returns a written proposal: posts, schedule, officer profiles, reporting and cost by the hour. For a building, business or event, a supervisor confirms the post orders, the certificate of insurance and the start date, usually the same day. There is no obligation to sign a long contract before the first shift, and every account keeps the same supervisor from the first call onward.
