The Presidential Guard (Spanish: Guardia Presidencial), also known as the Carabineros Presidencial, is the elite security unit that protects the President and Vice President of Guadajara, their families, as well as foreign dignitaries and other high ranking officials.

The Presidential Guard also provides security for the Presidential Palace and other government properties. It typically accepts members from within the GDF, the civilian police forces, as well as the intelligence agencies.
