School Security Guards and Patrols: Keeping Students, Staff, and Campuses Safe

Today, safety is one of the most important priorities for schools across the nation. From elementary schools to high schools, colleges, and private academies, educational institutions are expected to provide not just academic excellence but also a secure environment where students, teachers, and families feel protected.

That’s where Adams Security Group comes in.

We proudly provide professional School Security Guards and Patrol Services to schools across Tampa Bay and the surrounding areas, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Sarasota counties. Our trained and licensed officers serve as a visible presence of safety and order, offering both protection and peace of mind to every school community we serve.

Why Schools Need Professional Security Guards

Unfortunately, schools are not immune to the rising threats that affect our society. From unauthorized intrusions and violence to theft, bullying, and vandalism, the risks are real — and the consequences are significant.

Having professional school security guards on campus helps:

• Prevent unauthorized access to the premises
• Deter violence, fights, and disruptive behavior
• Monitor and secure entry and exit points
• Respond quickly to emergencies and threats
• Support school staff during lockdowns, drills, or evacuations
• Establish a safe, structured environment for learning

Security guards do more than just “stand at the door.” They become part of the school community — vigilant, approachable, and always ready to respond.

Serving Tampa Bay and Surrounding Areas

Adams Security Group proudly protects schools throughout the Tampa Bay region, including:

• Tampa – From inner-city campuses to suburban school districts
• Clearwater – Charter schools, private academies, and K–12 institutions
• St. Petersburg – Urban and residential school environments
• New Port Richey – Public schools and district campuses in Pasco County
• Sarasota – Education centers, private schools, and college campuses

We understand that each school is unique, with different layouts, challenges, student populations, and safety concerns. That’s why we work closely with school administrators and district officials to create customized security plans that fit your environment.

Our School Security Services

🚸 On-Campus Security Guards

Our uniformed or plainclothes security officers are stationed on school property during designated hours, providing visible protection throughout the day. They monitor common areas, hallways, restrooms, classrooms, cafeterias, and parking lots, all while remaining approachable to students and staff.

🚓 Patrol Services and Perimeter Monitoring

We offer both foot patrols and vehicle patrols (for larger campuses or multi-building properties) to actively monitor for trespassers, suspicious behavior, or safety concerns. Our presence deters crime and improves safety around pick-up/drop-off zones and school perimeters.

🧍 Visitor and Access Control

Security guards stationed at main entrances can check identification, screen visitors, log entry times, and help manage traffic. This helps ensure that only authorized individuals are allowed on school grounds — a critical step in school safety.

🔒 Emergency Response and Crisis Management

In the event of a lockdown, medical emergency, or security incident, our guards are trained to act quickly and professionally. We coordinate with school personnel and local law enforcement to ensure efficient response and protect students from harm.

📝 Daily Activity Logs and Incident Reports

We believe in clear communication and accountability. Our team maintains detailed records of patrols, incidents, and violations. These reports can be shared with school officials as part of your ongoing safety oversight.
