The difference

DPS Armored vs. doing it yourself

Why use professional cash transport? Because in-house cash runs put your people at risk and leave no record when something goes wrong. Here is how the two approaches compare.

Professional armored transport compared with in-house cash runs
DPS Armored In-house cash runs
Staff safety Trained officers carry the risk Employees exposed to robbery
Insurance in transit Assets covered while in our custody Often not covered
Chain of custody Signed and logged at every handoff Undocumented
Staff time Zero hours lost Hours lost every week
Reliability Scheduled, tracked, on time Depends on who's available

Why use professional cash transport?

Carrying deposits yourself puts employees at risk of robbery, creates liability, and costs staff hours. Professional cash transport services shift that risk to trained officers in armored vehicles, provide documented custody while in transit, and keep deposits on a predictable schedule.

What are armed security services?

Armed security services place licensed, firearms-certified officers at a site or on an assignment where the level of risk calls for a visible, capable deterrent. Common uses include cash-intensive businesses, high-value asset protection, executive protection, and armored transport crews.

What is the difference between armed and unarmed security?

Unarmed security officers focus on deterrence, access control, patrols, and customer-facing safety. Armed officers carry firearms under state licensing and are assigned where assets or threats justify a higher level of protection. We help you choose the right mix.

How much does armored transport cost?

Pricing depends on pickup frequency, the number of locations, distance, and the value carried. Most businesses pay a predictable monthly rate for scheduled service, and one-time runs are quoted individually. Request a quote for exact pricing, usually within 1 business day.

Is DPS Armored licensed, insured, and bonded?

Yes. DPS Armored works with state-licensed security officers and carries insurance for assets in our custody. Certificates of insurance are available on request.

What areas do you serve?

DPS Armored serves businesses throughout the Greater Seattle area and Washington State. Contact us about locations outside this area.

How quickly can service start?

Most new clients can begin scheduled service within a few business days of their site assessment and agreement. Urgent requests are handled case by case, so call us directly.

What happens if cash is lost in transit?

Assets are insured while in our custody. Because every handoff is signed and logged, any discrepancy can be traced to a specific point in the chain of custody, and we handle the claim directly with you.
