About GPS Private Security
At GPS, we pride ourselves on being a locally-owned business that truly understands the unique needs and dynamics of our community. Unlike national providers, our deep roots in the area mean we know the people, businesses, and challenges better. This local insight allows us to offer a higher level of attention and mobility when tailoring our services to meet your specific requirements precisely.
Our extensive experience in the events industry translates seamlessly to retail and commercial applications. We are experts in perimeter security, crowd management, emergency response, and developing comprehensive safety and security plans for large areas and populations. This expertise enables us to protect your business with a broader perspective, ensuring robust and reliable security measures.
We proudly hire vetted and experienced personnel from all walks of life and are committed to providing equal opportunities for growth and advancement. We believe that a diverse team - comprising individuals from all backgrounds, genders, cultures, religions, abilities, and orientations - enhances our ability to serve our clients and communities with the highest standards. We thoroughly examine background reports, previous work experience, and references before selecting candidates for training.
Our powerful training programs includes much more than education in security. We lean into personal development and mindfulness instruction in order to build open-minded, confident, change makers who understand how to create safe space and show up as allies in any given situation. Our agents train in emotional intelligence, cultural competency, effective communication, harm reduction practices, and trauma response.
This training not only strengthens our service capabilities but also empowers each guardian to work confidently, collaboratively, and effectively in the field. This level of education enhances how we provide security services: becoming better focused and situationally aware, amplifying attention to detail and reporting accurately, effectively communicating boundaries and needs while minimizing forcefulness, and creating greater ability to problem solve challenging situations.

GPS is a founding member with Enso MMA, a local mixed martial arts studio
that is committed to impart discipline, competency, and effectiveness. Our Guardians train side-by-side with experienced instructors and many local law enforcement officers who understand the discipline and responsibility that comes along with such serious training. We train as individuals and as a team to build speed and confidence in restraining and neutralization techniques so we can minimize the use of force and risk of injury in the most effective and safe response to threats of violence.
Our approach to security is grounded in respect and transparency. Unlike other companies that may rely heavily on force and enforcement, we believe in serving both our clients and the general public with integrity. By fostering trust and mutual respect, we achieve compliance while creating a safer environment for everyone. Choose GPS to be your dedicated partner for security solutions that are not only preventative and effective but also maintain dignity and decorum across the board.
