When you hire a security guard, you're not just getting a uniformed presence—you're investing in peace of mind, professionalism, and proactive protection. At Bravo1 Protection, we believe that a great security guard is more than just a watchful eye—they’re a trained, reliable partner in safety. Here’s what you can expect when working with a professional security guard from our team in Greenville, SC.

🔍 1. Vigilance and Situational Awareness
Professional guards are trained to detect unusual behavior, identify potential threats, and respond quickly. They don’t just stand around—they observe, assess, and act when necessary.

🗣️ 2. Strong Communication Skills
Whether interacting with the public, de-escalating a situation, or coordinating with law enforcement, communication is key. Our guards are trained to remain calm, clear, and respectful in all interactions.

🛡️ 3. Visible Deterrence
A uniformed guard sends a strong message: this property or event is protected. Their presence alone can deter theft, vandalism, and other unwanted behavior.

📋 4. Professionalism and Integrity
Bravo1 guards are punctual, well-groomed, and respectful. They follow strict codes of conduct and represent your business or event with the highest standards of professionalism.

🧠 5. Training and Certification

• Conflict resolution
• Emergency response
• Legal and ethical standards
• Customer service

🧭 6. Adaptability
Every environment is different. Whether it’s a corporate office, a music festival, or a private event, our guards adapt to the setting and your specific needs.

📝 7. Detailed Reporting
Professional guards document incidents, observations, and daily activity. These reports provide transparency and can be critical in legal or insurance matters.

Summer in the Carolinas means sunshine, festivals, concerts, and community gatherings. While these events are a great way to enjoy the season, they also come with unique safety challenges. At Bravo1 Protection, your safety is our mission. Whether you're attending a local event in Greenville or traveling to a larger festival, here are some essential tips to help you stay safe and enjoy your summer to the fullest.

1. Stay Aware of Your Surroundings. 
Large crowds can be disorienting. Always:

• Know where the exits are.
• Identify event staff or security personnel. 
• If traveling with children, point out what kind of uniforms the staff is wearing and make sure they understand those are the people that can help if you get separated. 
• Keep an eye on your belongings and the people around you.

2. Travel in Groups
There’s safety in numbers. Attend events with friends or family, and establish a meeting point in case you get separated.

3. Stay Hydrated and Cool
South Carolina summers can be intense. Bring water, wear light clothing, and take breaks in the shade to avoid heat exhaustion.

4. Limit What You Carry
Only bring what you need—ID, phone, a small amount of cash, and any necessary medications. Use a crossbody bag or fanny pack to keep your items secure. Take pictures of your ID and text them to a friend. If you lose your wallet and phone, you'll have something. 

5. Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off, don’t ignore it. Report suspicious behavior to event security or law enforcement immediately. Keep an eye out for abandoned bags, people dressed in long jackets or winter clothing. Don't drink anything you didn't purchase yourself and don't leave your drinks unattended. 

6. Follow Event Rules and Security Procedures
Respect bag checks, metal detectors, and other safety protocols. These measures are in place to protect everyone.

7. Plan Your Transportation
Know how you’re getting to and from the event. Use rideshare apps, designated drivers, or public transportation. Avoid walking alone at night.

8. Keep Your Kids Close
If traveling or visiting large events with kids, pick up some brightly colored paper wristbands (like the kind you get at concerts) and write your name and phone number on it. Put it on their wrist tight enough that it can't slip off. If they get lost an adult should see it and be able to call you.

Our trained security officers and event staff are committed to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

​Concealed carry is the practice of carrying a concealed weapon on your person in public. Weapons may be carried on your body, in a holster, or in an off-body purse, backpack, or other concealment accessory. There is actually no federal law concerning the concealed carry of firearms. Some states limit concealed carry permits to handguns, while other allow electronic weapons, clubs, and knives. The concealed carry permit process varies by state, so the following information may only apply to South Carolina residents. In South Carolina, a concealable weapon means a firearm of less than 12” in length, which may be carried openly on one’s person or in a manner hidden from the public eye.
The first step in acquiring your permit is making sure you meet state-specific and federal requirements. South Carolina is a shall-issue state, which means that if you pass all the requirements, you are issued a weapon permit. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) will issue a concealed weapon permit only to South Carolina residents who are at least twenty-one years of age, and who are not prohibited by law from owning a firearm. You will also need a completed and signed application, a current full-face photograph, proof of residence, proof of actual or corrected 20/40 vision, proof of training, payment of fifty dollars, and a complete set of fingerprints (unless impossible through a verified medical condition).
The next step is to complete a concealed carry course. Bravo1 Protection offers CWP training with an originally-developed curriculum that covers the permit and application process, firearm safety, use of deadly force, situational awareness, self-defense myths, and much more, all the way up to the actual firearms test. For the average individual, our training will cost $65, but there are other prices for veterans and groups. Our classes can be held in our location or yours, but all firearm portions are held at our outdoor gun range in Taylors. The classroom sessions will last for six hours, and the firearm test will last for two.
After you have successfully completed your firearms test, you should complete and submit your application. It can take between seven days to six months to obtain your CWP, and until you physically have it in your possession, you may not carry a concealed weapon. In South Carolina, you must abide by private property “No Concealable Weapons Allowed” signs, which prohibit both open and concealed carry.
Lastly, you will want to stay up to date on gun laws and your shooting skills. Make sure to renew your permit as required by state law, and always remember the golden rule of guns—safety first.
