Unarmed security
Most days don't call for a firearm, just for someone attentive at the door who notices what's off and handles it before it becomes an incident. Blue Star Security Consultants LLC provides professional unarmed officers for dispensaries, warehouses, transportation hubs, and other commercial properties across New Mexico and El Paso.

Every unarmed guard post is shaped around your layout, hours, and license requirements rather than assigned from a standard template. The work below covers the assignments our unarmed officers handle most often:
Front-door presence, ID check support, line management, interior observation, and customer screening support
Badge verification, visitor logging, contractor check-in, and directing traffic through the right entrances
Employee flow, visitor logs, dock observation, and patrols throughout daily operations
Vehicle check-in, trailer observation, and controlled entry at staffed access points
Scheduled rounds across parking areas, perimeters, and defined checkpoints
Staff coverage at the start and end of the operating day
Short-term officers for grand openings, vendor days, and crowd-sensitive retail periods
Clear reporting for trespass, theft attempts, damage, disturbances, and unusual site activity
