Planning a student trip to Washington DC should be exciting. Instead, many tour group organizers worry about students wandering hotel hallways at night and hoping you can find a reliable security that shows up and does a good job.
Short-term security projects are our specialty. Your student group security becomes a high priority - not just another small job. We provide licensed officers who vigilantly patrol the floors with GPS tracking that proves they are walking their rounds. Our quality assurance team monitors this data to verify officers stay alert and active.

Reliable unarmed and armed security guard services for short-term and last-minute needs.
When you have an urgent security problem, you cannot wait days for help. Most security companies focus on long-term contracts, leaving short-term requests at the bottom of the list.

Reliable Short-Term Security Is Hard to Find
Short-term security is often ignored by many security companies. They focus on year-long contracts, leaving urgent needs unfilled. In many cases the security companies do not even answer their phones. What’s where we come in.
Short-Term Security Guard Projects Are Our Focus
We focus on short-term and last-minute jobs, but we deliver them with the oversight of a large-scale project. Our GPS patrol tracking, verified time clocks, and detailed report audits ensure every shift is covered and every task is done correctly.
