Hendersonville Security Guard Services

Hendersonville sits on the shore of Old Hickory Lake, and a lot of its business life centers on shopping, dining, apartments and family events. That mix creates its own security needs: busy parking lots at night, residential communities with a lot of turnover, and outdoor events that pull big crowds to the water. Crimson Security Service provides licensed armed and unarmed officers for Hendersonville and Sumner County, managed from our office in Smyrna (TN license #14376).

Indian Lake Village and retail corridors. The Streets of Indian Lake and the shops, restaurants and theater around Indian Lake Boulevard stay busy into the evening. Visible officers in parking areas and at store entrances help deter theft and car break-ins and give staff someone to call when a situation starts to turn.

Apartment and residential communities. New apartment communities and older complexes alike deal with trespassing, vandalism, amenity misuse and parking problems. We set up scheduled patrol rounds, verified with GPS and QR checkpoints, so property managers can see exactly when officers were on site.

Healthcare and professional offices. The TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center area along New Shackle Island Road and nearby medical and professional offices need a steady presence at entrances, especially after hours.

Lake, park and historic-site events. Historic Rock Castle hosts events overlooking the lake, and city parks like Drakes Creek and Memorial Park host community events. For event organizers, we plan gate coverage, crowd areas and parking before doors open.

• Unarmed and armed security officers for retail, residential and office properties
• Scheduled foot patrols with documented rounds
• Event security for community events, concerts, private parties and corporate events
• Temporary, overnight, weekend and 24/7 coverage

Hendersonville residents who want a Tennessee guard card can train with Crimson in Smyrna. Plan on about 38 miles, roughly 45 minutes without traffic, usually on I-24.

We offer:

• Initial Unarmed Guard (4 hours, $85), which covers the state's required general training
• Initial Armed Guard (two days, 16 hours, $125), which adds firearms classroom and marksmanship
• Unarmed Renewal (2 hours, $50) and Armed Renewal (5 hours, $85)
• CPR/AED Certification (4 hours, $90)

Classroom training is at our Smyrna office, and range qualification for the armed course is at an indoor range in Murfreesboro. Check the class calendar, then register and pay online. See Training & Licensing for course details.

Can you patrol an apartment community a few times a night instead of posting a full-time officer?
Yes. Many residential clients use scheduled patrols at set times. Each round is logged with GPS and QR checkpoints, and you get the reports online.

Do you provide security for events near Old Hickory Lake?
Yes. We staff private and public events. Tell us the venue, date, expected crowd and any alcohol service, and we will recommend staffing.

What does security cost in Hendersonville?
It depends on armed versus unarmed, the number of officers and hours, and the duties. We quote each property after a short conversation or site visit.

I'm already registered as a guard. Can I renew with you?
Yes. Unarmed renewal is a two-hour class and armed renewal is five hours, and both run monthly on our calendar.
