Residential Security Team
Home is where a family should be able to stop thinking about security. A dedicated team makes that possible by handling it for them, every hour it is needed.
Urban Shield / ServiceResidential Security TeamWhat it is
A Residential Security Team is a dedicated group of agents assigned to one home or estate. They control access, screen visitors and vendors, monitor cameras and alarms, patrol the grounds and respond first to any incident. The team learns the household and works alongside house staff, so security fits the way the family actually lives.
A residential security team is assigned to your property and no one else's. The same agents return each shift, learn the routines of the household and recognize what is out of place. They manage the gate and the front door, verify deliveries and contractors, watch the cameras and walk the grounds.
Discretion matters as much as vigilance. Our agents are selected for judgment and courtesy, briefed on the family's preferences and trained to work with house managers, nannies and drivers. Coverage can run around the clock, overnight only, or during travel and special occasions.

How an engagement runs
Confidential consultation
A private conversation about who and what needs protecting, what has already happened, and what a good outcome looks like to you.
Assessment
We study the people, places, routines and exposure involved, on site and through open sources, before recommending anything.
Program design
You receive a written plan: coverage, staffing, procedures, reporting and cost, scoped to the risk that actually exists.
Deployment
Vetted, licensed personnel are briefed on your household or organization and begin coverage with a named point of contact.
Review and adjust
Risk changes. We review the program on a set schedule and after any incident, then scale it up or down to match.
