Frequently asked questions — Miami
What license do I need to work security in Miami?
Florida requires a Class D Security License from FDACS. Armed guards also need a Class G Statewide Firearm License. ShieldUp verifies both during onboarding.
What types of security work are most available in Miami?
Miami has strong demand for hospitality security, nightlife and club security along Brickell and South Beach, port and logistics security, and event security at Kaseya Center and Hard Rock Stadium.
How does ShieldUp differ from a Miami security agency?
Miami agencies keep 30–40% of what clients pay. ShieldUp charges guards zero commission — you keep every dollar and control your own schedule.
