Security guards in Denver
Armed and unarmed security officers for sites across Greater Denver: Aurora, Lakewood, Commerce City, Douglas County, and the DIA corridor.
Security in Denver.
Greater Denver runs from Aurora and Commerce City to Lakewood, Douglas County, and the DIA corridor, and Ares is licensed to staff all of it. Denver licenses private security employers itself, and we hold Denver license 2021-BFN-0001984 for armed and unarmed security, as an eligible training provider in the city. Here we are ready to staff data centers and their builds, warehouses and logistics, airport-area sites, hospitals, parking and transportation, public-sector facilities, and commercial property. Our headquarters is an hour south on I-25 in Colorado Springs, and a member of our leadership still trains each officer on the post before the first shift and works the first shift on every new post. Ares is also Denver M/WBE and SBE certified, for city work that sets participation goals.

Questions, answered.
Does a security company need a Denver license?
Yes. Colorado has no statewide security license, so Denver licenses private security employers itself. Ares holds Denver Private Security Employer license 2021-BFN-0001984 for armed and unarmed security, and you can check it in the city’s public record from the license section above.
Do you cover sites outside the city of Denver?
Yes. We staff across Greater Denver, including Aurora, Lakewood, Commerce City, Douglas County, and the DIA corridor. Tell us the address and the hours, and we will tell you plainly whether we can staff it and when.
How soon can you start a post in Denver?
Four things set it: the site, what our technical audit finds before anything is signed, how many officers the post needs, and any clearance requirements. Leadership comes up from Colorado Springs to walk the site and train each officer on the post before the first shift. Give us your start date and we will tell you plainly whether we can meet it.
