Every Walden Security officer is licensed and completes state-specific training before being assigned a post with continuous on-the-job training afterward.

mobile patrols
With high visibility, marked vehicles, our patrols serve as an effective visual deterrent, while ensuring your access points and perimeter are secure.
Our roving patrols are a dynamic security presence, deterring potential threats through unpredictable patrol routes and comprehensive coverage. Our officers use keen situational awareness to ensure a high level of protection and rapid incident response.
hybrid emt officer
EMT Officers combine the security knowledge of an officer with the medical skills of an EMT. Perfect for remote sites or manufacturing facilities where first aid may be needed immediately.
With many remote manufacturing and utilities facilities in the area, these security offices offer a unique combination of emergency medical and security training when the time matter most.
mobile surveillance trailers
If your site does not require an officer 24/7, our Mobile Surveillance Trailers provide portable remote monitoring solution for overnight needs of parking lots and remote properties.
Our mobile surveillance trailers offer a cost-effective solution for remote surveillance needs. Equipped 360-degree camera systems, solar panels and battery storage, our trailers can provide 24/7 monitoring without on-site personnel.
Why Hire A Local Security Company?
Partnering with a locally managed security company means faster communication, face-to-face accountability and a staff who know East Tennessee’s communities. Our Knoxville team lives and works in the area, making them familiar with the issues and needs of the area’s businesses.

Absolutely. All officers receive their Tennessee state security license before setting foot on-site and can be licensed for multiple states, if needed. Further, site specific on-the-job training is on-going once they take post.
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.
