Can you staff a Kent warehouse gate around the clock?

Yes. We staff continuous posts including overnight and weekend coverage, with Supervisor checks and documented shift turnover between Officers.

Do your Officers handle driver and visitor check-in?

Yes. Gate Officers verify appointments, log trailers and seals, issue visitor credentials, and enforce your site access policy as written in the post orders.

Will we get the same Officers each shift?

We build a consistent roster for each Kent account so Officers learn the site, the staff, and the routine, with trained relief Officers for absences.

In the Kent Valley, the gate is the security program. Product moves through docks all day, drivers arrive on appointment windows that slip, and the difference between a controlled site and a soft target is whether a trained Officer is verifying who comes through and documenting what leaves.

Gate Officers and access control

Our Gate Officers check appointments against your manifest, record tractor and trailer numbers, verify seals, issue and collect visitor credentials, and turn away unscheduled arrivals politely and firmly. Every entry and exit is logged, which gives you a defensible record when a load is short or a claim is filed.

Interior posts and incident management

Inside the building, On-site Officers manage employee entry points, escort terminations and other sensitive situations, respond to medical and safety incidents, and write reports that hold up when HR or an insurer reviews them. De-escalation is the first tool in every situation; our Officers are unarmed by design and trained to resolve conflict with communication and documentation.

Post orders written for your building

Before the first shift, a Supervisor walks the property with you and writes post orders specific to the site: gate hours, escalation contacts, dock procedures, prohibited items, alarm response, and what the Officer is and is not authorized to do. That document is what keeps performance consistent when personnel rotate.

Many Kent sites combine On-site coverage with Mobile Patrol of trailer yards after hours and Fire Watch during impairments. See our Logistics and Industrial program, On-site Officers, or Kent coverage.

Non-profit Healthcare Network

Multi-site Healthcare Coverage That Lowered Use-of-Force Incidents

The Situation: A non-profit healthcare organization with five health centers and an administration building across Pierce County had inherited a security program from a previous provider that leaned on physical intervention. Staff were absorbing the stress of unpredictable encounters in patient areas, entryways, and parking structures.
Our Response: Diligence Security took over the program with a layered model: posted On-site Officers at the highest-traffic facilities, roaming Mobile Patrols connecting the remaining sites, and 24/7 emergency response for escalations after hours. Every Officer assigned to the account completes our Officer Integration Program, where verbal de-escalation and disciplined decision-making are trained well beyond the state minimum.
The Outcome: Use-of-force incidents dropped dramatically compared with the previous security company, and criminal activity on the properties was reduced. Just as importantly, the organization's employees report a markedly better sense of security while they work. This remains our longest-standing Client relationship.

“We have been very satisfied with Diligence Security's excellent service and rapid response. Their Officers are professional, provide a visible deterrent, and have been a proactive partner in improving communication, reporting, and security awareness across our locations.”
