Security guards in Colorado Springs
Armed and unarmed security officers for sites across Colorado Springs and El Paso County, from the company headquartered here since 2021. Our leadership is based here and trains every officer on the post before their first shift.
Security in Colorado Springs.
Colorado Springs is home. Ares was founded here in 2021, and our headquarters is still here, so leadership is a short drive from any post in El Paso County. A member of that leadership walks your site before anything is signed, trains each officer on the post before the first shift, and works the first shift on every new post. The City of Colorado Springs licenses us for armed and unarmed security and approves us as an armed and unarmed training provider, so we qualify our own officers here. We are ready to staff defense contractors and military-adjacent sites, data centers, builds and industrial yards, utilities, commercial property, and campuses. Federal agencies here can also order through our GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract.

Questions, answered.
Does a security company need a Colorado Springs license?
Yes. Colorado has no statewide security license, so the City of Colorado Springs licenses contract security agencies itself. Ares holds Colorado Springs Contract Security Agency license 0850744L for armed and unarmed security, and you can check it in the city’s public record from the license section above.
How soon can you start a post in Colorado Springs?
It depends on the site, the technical audit we do before anything is signed, how many officers the post needs, and any clearance requirements the site has. Our leadership is based in Colorado Springs, so we can walk the site quickly and train each officer on the post before the first shift. Tell us your date and we will say plainly whether we can meet it.
