Chicago Security Guard Company
Licensed security officers, 24/7 remote monitoring, and emergency response for businesses across Chicago and the collar counties.
Security Guarding in Chicago and Chicagoland
Prosegur Security is one of Chicago's most trusted security guard companies, operating from 25 East Washington in the Loop. Our licensed officers are scheduled and supervised from this office, and Chicago security services include on-site security guards, front desk and concierge coverage, remote video monitoring, integrated access control and surveillance systems, 24/7 emergency response, and enterprise cybersecurity.
Chicagoland is one market spread across seven counties, and a program has to account for the distance. Downtown and River North office towers run on lobby presence and visitor management. The O'Hare freight corridor through Bensenville, Elk Grove Village, and the Meadowlands of Illinois logistics belt needs dock and yard coverage instead. So does the I-55 warehouse spine through Romeoville and Bolingbrook, and CenterPoint at Elwood, which is the largest inland port in North America. Because a single client portfolio can span 50 miles of expressway, many sites pair a lean on-site presence with remote monitoring to hold overnight and perimeter coverage without staffing every entrance.
Our Chicago security team serves Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, McHenry, and Kendall counties, including Evanston, Skokie, Northbrook, Rosemont, Elk Grove Village, Schaumburg, Oak Brook, Downers Grove, Naperville, Aurora, Joliet, Oak Lawn, Tinley Park, and Orland Park.
Why Businesses in Chicago and across Illinois Trust Prosegur to Be Their Security Service Provider
Local Security Backed by Global Resources

Rapid Response When It Matters Most
With mobile patrol units and dedicated teams available 24/7, we proactively patrol your site and provide fast incident response throughout Illinois, ensuring reliable security every step of the way.
Data-Driven Risk Management
Security goes beyond physical presence. It’s about actionable intelligence. With our data-driven approach, we help you identify, evaluate, and minimize risks before they become bigger problems.
Scalable Solutions for Any Industry
From bustling rail yards and corporate offices to healthcare campuses and cultural landmarks, our security services meet the unique operational demands of Illinois’s diverse industries.
Security for Chicago and Collar County Businesses
Prosegur delivers customized security solutions for businesses across Illinois, offering dependable protection and 24/7 responsive local support for every site.
Licensed Security Guarding
Across Chicagoland, our licensed security officers bring a visible presence, exceptional service, and rapid incident response. We tailor guarding programs for Loop and River North office towers, O'Hare-area freight and distribution facilities, manufacturing plants, transit and rail hubs, and healthcare campuses, aligning with your environment and risk profile.
Global Risk Services
For businesses operating across the country or worldwide, our Global Risk Services team offers intelligence-led support through travel risk management, threat monitoring, crisis response planning, and supply chain risk assessments. For Chicago's logistics and manufacturing clients, that often means visibility into freight moving through O'Hare, the rail yards, and the intermodal terminals south of the city.
Security Systems Installation & Integration
Our Chicago-based specialists design and install modern security systems including video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection. Whether updating existing infrastructure or building from scratch, we integrate the pieces so they work as one system rather than several, across single buildings and portfolios spread across the metro.
Remote Security Monitoring
Remote Security Monitoring blends real-time video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection with oversight from trained agents in our Security Operations Center, where AI-driven analytics help detect and verify threats around the clock. For warehouse and distribution sites along the I-55 and O'Hare corridors, it covers docks, lots, and perimeters that would otherwise need a post at every gate.
Emergency Response
Stay ready for the unexpected with our National Contingency Services division. We provide rapid-response security for emergencies, labor disputes, and civil unrest. In Chicago that also means winter storms and lake-effect events, where sites lose power and access control at the same time. When a location needs more officers than a branch can surge alone, we deploy from our nationwide network.
Enterprise Cybersecurity
Prosegur Security delivers cybersecurity including threat monitoring, endpoint protection, vulnerability assessments, and incident response. For Chicago's logistics operators and manufacturers, that includes covering warehouse management and plant floor systems alongside corporate IT.
