Can Arrow provide one officer or a full on-site security team?

Direct answer

The short answer

Arrow offers flexible on-site security coverage, so a proposal may involve one officer, several simultaneous posts, or a team covering multiple shifts, subject to staffing and assignment requirements. The correct number should come from duties and risk, not a preference for the smallest or largest headcount.

What to know

One officer can work when the post has a manageable area, limited concurrent duties, and a safe process for breaks and emergencies. A team may be needed when a property has several entrances, a large patrol area, continuous access control, separate public and restricted zones, high attendance, 24/7 coverage, or duties that cannot be abandoned while another incident is handled. Larger assignments also need a defined supervisor or lead, shift turnover, communications, relief, and span of control.

Ask the proposal to map each officer to a post, schedule, patrol area, and responsibility. It should explain how breaks are covered, what happens if two incidents occur at once, when a supervisor responds, and how staffing changes as operations change. One person scheduled around the clock is not one “full-time” position; continuous coverage requires multiple shifts and relief planning. Arrow should confirm the specific number, qualifications, and startup plan after assessing the site.
