How fast can you get a guard to my Portland property?
We can have security on site within 2 hours for emergencies, and standard service typically starts within 24 to 48 hours.
Are your security guards licensed in Oregon?
Yes. Every officer is certified through Oregon’s Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST).
Do you require long-term contracts?
