Residential security for the home and the people in it.
Continuous or responsive security for homes, estates, and family properties.
Residential security protects a private home or estate and everyone inside it, from access control and alarm response to a standing detail. TB Defense designs residential security across Chicago and the country, built on a Chicago Police officer with 20 years of service’s read of how intrusions and targeted threats actually develop. We secure the property and give the household a protocol it can rely on day to day.
What it includes
- A posted or roving security presence sized to the property and the concern
- Access control and visitor management at the residence
- Property tours and perimeter checks on a defined schedule
- A response plan, including safe-room and law-enforcement coordination
- Coverage tied to a specific concern, such as a known person of interest or a stalking matter
- Discreet agents who understand a private home is not a checkpoint
How it works
We assess the property and the exposure, identify the weak points, and set protocols the household can actually live with. Coverage can be continuous, scheduled, or activated in response to a specific threat.
Who it is for
Families and individuals who want their home secured by trained people, especially where there is a named concern or an elevated risk.
Common questions
What does residential security include?
It usually starts with a security assessment of the property, then a program built around it — access control, coordination with alarm and camera systems, on-site officers when needed, and a clear response plan for the household. The level of coverage is matched to the risk, not a fixed package.
Do you provide armed officers at a private residence?
Either armed or unarmed, based on the threat assessment. Every officer is licensed for the role they hold under Illinois law.
Can you watch the home while the family is traveling?
Yes. Vacant-residence coverage — periodic checks, monitoring, and a response plan — is a common part of a residential program, and it can run alongside travel or executive protection for the family.
Do you work with our existing alarm and camera systems?
Yes. We coordinate with the systems and monitoring you already have rather than replacing them, and we flag the gaps the assessment turns up.
Is residential security available around the clock?
Yes. Coverage can be 24/7 or scheduled to specific hours and events, depending on what the household needs.
Do you cover residences outside Chicago?
We are based in Chicago and licensed in Illinois, and we support residences elsewhere in the country and internationally through vetted partners, with TB Defense coordinating the program.
