Hire Security Guards in Memphis 2026 — Companies & Prices

Memphis is a key market for security guards services in the US.

In Memphis, demand for security guards is driven by the FedEx world hub and a global logistics economy and sprawling distribution, warehousing and the river port. The sectors that most rely on this service include logistics and distribution, warehousing, healthcare, with specific needs in areas such as the FedEx world hub and distribution corridors, the downtown medical district, the Beale Street tourism corridor. The city's main security concerns — cargo and warehouse theft and overnight yard and dock security — make working with a licensed, professional provider a priority investment for businesses and homeowners.

HireSecurityNow.com connects you with licensed security guards companies in Memphis. Compare options, review profiles and request free quotes to find the provider that best fits your needs and budget.

Tennessee regulates private security through the state Department of Commerce & Insurance, Private Protective Services (PPS) program, not a California-style guard card: the company employing officers must hold a Contract Security Company license, while individual officers register as Unarmed or Armed Security Guards under that licensed company, and investigative firms hold a separate Private Investigation Company license. Armed posts are reasonably available in Tennessee, but an armed officer must complete an armed-guard registration and firearms qualification through the PPS program. Given Memphis's heavy logistics and property-crime backdrop, confirm the company's Contract Security Company license, officer registration and real logistics experience before hiring.

Memphis is a global logistics powerhouse — home to the FedEx world hub, sprawling distribution and warehousing, and a Mississippi River port — driving heavy demand for warehouse and cargo guards, gate and dock access control, overnight yard and perimeter patrol, and cargo-theft prevention, with risk that concentrates after hours across large sites. A PPS-licensed Contract Security Company with real logistics and warehouse experience is essential for these properties.
