Armed Bodyguard in Miami


Professional close protection across Florida.
Miami & Florida

Glamour, with a real risk profile.

Miami is one of the world's most glamorous destinations — the same energy that draws the wealthiest visitors to its South Beach penthouses and Brickell high-rises also defines a complex security environment across Florida.

Algoz provides professional bodyguard services across Florida through a network of locally licensed security professionals, many with Miami-Dade Police, FBI, U.S. Secret Service or Florida Highway Patrol backgrounds.

Florida Licensing (Chapter 493)

Why armed protection in Miami must be licensed.

In Florida, private security is licensed by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Division of Licensing) under Chapter 493 of the Florida Statutes. A security officer holds a Class ‘D’ licence; carrying a firearm on duty additionally requires the statewide Class ‘G’ armed licence, with mandated firearms training and recurrent qualification. Protection is delivered strictly within this licensed framework.

Algoz coordinates armed protection in Miami exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative licensed, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend to New York and Rio de Janeiro.

Indicative Investment

What protection in Miami costs.

Rates for the United States are confirmed on enquiry; as a market guide, professional close protection across our regions starts from around USD 450 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.
