Yes. All officers are fully licensed and trained according to their site’s state regulations.

Yes. Walden Security operates across the Lowcountry, including North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, West Ashley, and surrounding communities. We also serve the surrounding South Carolina and Georgia areas, but your site may be handled by a different area branch depending on the distance. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Charleston's historic charm and bustling tourist areas lead to challenges such as property intrusions, vandalism, and managing large crowds in densely populated districts. Contract security services like Walden Security provide targeted risk assessments, constant surveillance, and rapid response strategies to safeguard both heritage sites and modern developments in the area.
Vehicle break-ins, parking lot theft, after-hours trespassing and property crime are among the most frequent incidents in the area. The distribution and logistics hubs in the area also face elevated risks tied to 24/7 operations and large, valuable inventories, so tailored perimeter patrols and access control are an essential security feature.
