FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Miami residential security personnel must hold Class D Security Officer licences from the Florida Division of Licensing under Florida Statutes Chapter 493. Armed officers additionally hold Class G Statewide Firearm licences. Operating companies hold Class D Security Agency licences. Both company and individual officer licences are publicly verifiable through the Division of Licensing online registry. Residential security clients should confirm licence status for both the operating company and the individual officers before engagement.

Miami-specific residential risks for HNWI households are: organised targeted residential burglary (documented by FBI Miami Field Office data, particularly during Art Basel period), yacht and vessel security specific to the Intracoastal Waterway and Fisher Island residential environments, and carjacking in Miami-Dade County (documented by Miami-Dade Police MDPD crime statistics). The Miami residential security assessment addresses these against the specific property type and principal’s public profile.

Miami domestic staff vetting covers: identity verification (US passport, state ID, or immigration document with Form I-9 work authorisation), FDLE criminal background check, FBI NICS check where applicable, Social Security Number verification, employment history reference validation, and FCRA-compliant procedure if a third-party vetting agency is used. Non-US domestic workers require immigration status and work authorisation verification under federal I-9 requirements. Vetting typically completes within 5 to 10 business days for standard US national staff.

Miami residential security costs depend on property type, guard staffing, and service scope. A CCTV, alarm, and domestic staff vetting assessment for a Coral Gables or Coconut Grove property typically ranges from USD 800 to USD 2,000. Manned residential guard provision (24-hour or specified shift coverage) for an HNWI property with specific threat indicators ranges from USD 3,000 to USD 8,000 per month depending on guard hours and armed status. Fisher Island and Intracoastal yacht properties are scoped on a property-specific basis including the maritime security component.
