Security Guard Services in Washington, DC

Last Watch Security is licensed by the District of Columbia (Security Agency License SAB40000296) and fields both unarmed officers and commissioned Special Police Officers for work that requires them. Our DC portfolio centers on institutions: faith communities, youth and family services campuses, schools, and residential buildings that need a steady, professional presence rather than a rotating cast of strangers.

Northwest DC and Capitol Hill

We provide standing coverage for institutional campuses in Northwest Washington, including church campus security with regular patrol visits and event coverage. For offices, schools, and residential buildings in Northwest and on Capitol Hill, we build posts around the building's actual rhythm: arrival, visitors, evenings, and events.

Southeast and Anacostia

Our officers serve community campuses in Southeast DC, including daily posts at youth and family services facilities. This is demanding work: officers selected for temperament, trained in de-escalation, and comfortable being part of a community rather than standing apart from it.

Georgetown and Downtown

For retail, hospitality, and nightlife in Georgetown and downtown, we provide suited and uniformed officers who protect the experience as well as the property, from boutique retail posts to bar and venue coverage along the 14th Street corridor.

Special Police Officers

Where DC law requires arrest authority on private property, we staff commissioned Special Police Officers. SPO coverage is common for schools, residential buildings, and institutional campuses, and we manage the commissioning process for the officers we place.
