Defender One Security works with medical institutions, private schools, daycare facilities, businesses, and residential communities to offer customized security solutions. Our security team is well-versed in the latest security methodologies, guaranteeing that our clients receive the most effective protection possible. In certain cases, specialized services may be essential to adequately mitigate risks. 

UNIFORMED & NON-UNIFORMED POLICE

Defender One can provide uniformed and non-uniformed guards. Additionally, we offer active law enforcement personnel in specific situations, as needed.

Law enforcement personnel are a distinct visual deterrent and can prevent security issues before they happen. These individuals are highly trained to respond to situations and protect your people.

Our security guards receive specialized training in various areas, including de-escalation, use of force, handcuffing, and TASER deployment, ensuring the safety and well-being of all.

VEHICLE PATROL

For businesses with large properties or parking areas, our vehicle patrols can monitor for potential security threats and address issues promptly. Defender One vehicles also provide a visual deterrent and can operate 24/7, to provide a swift response to potential security concerns.

All of our vehicle patrols are integrated with a guard tour system. This system allows us to monitor our patrols in real-time and provide you with detailed reports of the patrol activities. Our guards are also equipped with technology that can track their movements, ensuring that your property is consistently monitored.

TACTICAL UNITS

Every security situation is unique. We offer tactical units to address specialized needs, with each unit equipped to handle high-risk events and unforeseen emergencies. Every security professional who mans one of these units receives additional training in tactics and techniques to handle any situation.
