Security Guards in
North Providence, Rhode Island
North Providence is home. SecurityRI is headquartered at 58 Waterman Avenue, in the Centredale area, and has protected businesses and properties across Rhode Island since 1981. From the Mineral Spring Avenue and Smith Street commercial corridors to the High Service Avenue medical district and the historic mills of Allendale and Lymansville, our licensed armed and unarmed officers work the streets they know best.
Protecting North Providence From Our Own Backyard
North Providence fits more than 34,000 residents, a full-service hospital, busy retail corridors, converted mill properties, and tightly packed neighborhoods into one of Rhode Island’s smallest towns. Because so much happens in so little space, security needs here shift from one block to the next, and property owners need a provider that knows the town in detail.
SecurityRI has been part of this community for decades. As the holder of Rhode Island Security License #1, we are the state’s oldest and most established security guard services agency, and our operations center sits right here on Waterman Avenue. Property managers, retailers, medical offices, manufacturers, and apartment owners across North Providence work with a security company that is genuinely local, not a regional office in name only.
From Centredale and Fruit Hill to Marieville, Woodville, and the Route 146 interchange, our supervisors can be on site in minutes, not hours.
Whether you need one unarmed officer at a Mineral Spring Avenue plaza, armed coverage for a high-value site, or overnight mobile patrols across a Woonasquatucket River mill complex, SecurityRI deploys the right resources from just down the road.
Security Guard Services Available in North Providence, RI
Every SecurityRI deployment in North Providence is built around the specific property, industry, and risk level. A medical office, a retail plaza, and a converted mill each call for a different plan.
