Redefining Private Security
We Are Bridging The Gap between public services and local residents through innovative security practices that prioritize respect and inclusion.
With a focus on community stewardship and non-aggressive solutions, our team of highly trained professionals works tirelessly to create safe and vibrant environments throughout the greater Seattle area. Our belief is in building strong relationships with the communities we serve, through Protection, not Policing.
In the past year, we handled over 10,000 incidents, with less than 1% involving the use of force by our employees.
We've been recognized by major news outlets for exactly what we promote, Bridging The Gap.
