Uniformed Security Officers

Serving the Greater Nashville Area since 2010


Your safety and security is only as strong as the team members you hire to provide security. Many companies state that they have the best officers but most don't have a proven system to back up their claims. FCS is a security company that focuses on delivering great results by understanding each officer and what sites he or she will excel at. Our team is made up of highly engaged security professionals that are carefully screened, professionally managed, and well supported by a company structure that delivers on a servant leadership mentality. All officers are trained to deter incidents before occuring, detect incidents when they occur, and deny threats from effecting your place of work. First Class offers the following for all officers utilized:

  • GPS and Location Officer Verification
  • Local and Dedicated Supervisory Staff
  • Armed / Unarmed State Certified Training
  • Specialized Onboarding and Process Testing
  • Clearly Marked Professional Uniform
  • Customizable Incident Reports
  • Indepth Federal and County Background Checks
  • Ongoing training and management oversite

Security Service FAQ

Security Service Common Questions


What type of security service do I need?

The right service depends on your property type, risk level, and hours of coverage. Stationed unarmed officers fit most commercial lobbies and residential communities. Armed officers fit high value sites, cash environments, and executive protection. Shared patrol fits properties that need visible deterrence without a full time presence. Mobile surveillance fits yards, lots, and construction sites. Event security and firewatch are short term specialty services. Our team helps you scope the right mix during a free site assessment.

How does First Class Security work with new clients?

Every new account starts with a free site walk and a written quote. Once the scope is agreed, we build site specific post orders, assign a primary officer plus backup, and brief everyone before the first shift. A Nashville based supervisor stays in touch with your point of contact, visits the post in person, and is reachable 24/7 by phone or radio.

How quickly can you start security coverage in Nashville?

Most unarmed assignments start within a few business days of contract signing. Armed assignments typically take one to two weeks for the additional licensing checks and post orientation. Firewatch and emergency coverage can begin the same day. We move at the pace your situation requires.

How much does security guard service cost in Nashville?

Cost depends on guard type (armed or unarmed), hours per week, number of officers, shift schedule, location, and contract length. Unarmed coverage during business hours is the lowest cost baseline. Armed, overnight, weekend, and short term assignments price higher. We provide a written quote after a site walk so the number reflects your actual scope rather than a generic range.

What areas in Nashville do you cover?

First Class Security covers Nashville plus the full Middle Tennessee market: Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Lebanon, Gallatin, Antioch, Madison, Goodlettsville, Bellevue, Clarksville, and Dickson. Within Nashville we serve every neighborhood including Downtown, East Nashville, Germantown, The Gulch, Berry Hill, Green Hills, Belle Meade, Sylvan Park, and the airport corridor.

What should I look for when hiring a Nashville security company?

Verify the company is licensed by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, carries general liability insurance (we carry $5 million), runs federal and county background checks on every officer, and provides a Nashville based supervisor reachable around the clock. Ask for references from current clients in your industry. Long term local ownership is a strong signal of how they treat both officers and clients.
