Proactive Defense Agency

Proactive Defense Agency

The Best Defense Is Proactive

Security Guard Company In Sacramento

As a prominent Security Guard Company in Sacramento, PD Agency, has achieved a significant position among the top ranking Private Security companies in the city. This position was a result of decades of dedication, hard work and devotion to the industry of security and protective services in the territory and vicinity of Sacramento. 

The area around Sacramento, including neighboring cities and counties, is very popular, diverse and populated compared to other areas in the United States. There is considerable appeal in that area and a wide range of causes that attract individuals and businesses alike. Unfortunately, this makes it a target to crime. And as a result, Sacramento and its surrounding cities and counties exhibit their own share of crime and lawlessness in some areas more than others.

Security Guard Company Sacramento, PD Agency, is not like any other when it comes to fighting crime. The territory and vicinity of Sacramento has its laws that many believe are lenient towards crime. Therefore, a company with a natural tendency to deter crime rather than fight it becomes the most valuable company in the industry. And this is the value that Proactive Defense Agency brings to the industry of security and protective services.     

PD Agency is a Security Guard Company that focuses on deterring crime more assuredly than fighting it. And we accomplish this through an active plan of action:

  1. Intelligence: at PD Agency, we are constantly gathering intelligence regarding Sacramento’s penal codes and crime laws. We also actively collect information regarding our clients and their neighborhoods. 
  2. Briefings: When we collect our intelligence, we disseminate this information by holding regular agent briefings so that our security guards in the territory and vicinity of Sacramento are always aware of the social, legal and political environment that surrounds our clients. 
  3. Action: We devise a plan of action that focuses on analyzing the possible risks and dealing with their root causes before they turn into live threats. Then, we monitor our plan in execution and supervise our agents as they carry it out. 

As a result,  our ongoing operations are ranked among the most successful in the industry of Private Security services in the territory and vicinity of Sacramento.

3 Reasons why PD Agency is the best Security Guard Company in Sacramento

There are many reasons why we consider our company, PD Agency, one of the best Private Security companies in the territory and vicinity of Sacramento. Here are 3 of these reasons: 

  1. Our focus: Starting from the very first initiative of our intention to build a Security Guard Company in the territory and vicinity of Sacramento, we wanted our focus to be on the deterrence of loss and crime rather than on reporting or observing it. Hence,  we named our company Proactive Defense Agency. We believe the best defense is and must be proactive. So, we focus on proactively identifying the root causes of crime for our clients and we aim directly at eliminating these causes before the risks turn into live threats. 
  2. Our agents: In our recruitment process, we select our agents and security guards not among the best persons seeing employment opportunities. Rather,  we try our best to select our team from those who take the industry of security and protective services as a career.  Those whose hearts are invested in this line of work prove to be more dedicated and more interested in accomplishing our goals and our vision. 
  3. Our operations: We start our job before our clients contact us. We are constantly gathering intelligence and briefing our agents and officers regarding the social, legal and political challenges that face them at work. Based on the results of those briefings, we devise, monitor and modify our operations accordingly. So, we are in a constant process of improving our operations and our results. 

As a result of the above, we consider our company the best Security Guard Company in the territory and vicinity of Sacramento and we stand confidently by our operations and our assessments. This is why we never lock our clients into any form of contract. We do not charge cancellation penalties or early termination fees. We rely on our merits and we have confidence in the standard of our services compared to other security guard companies in Sacramento as well as statewide. 

3 things our clients in Sacramento love about our security company

Because of our dedication in the industry of security and protective services and due to our standing among other Private Security companies in the territory and vicinity of Sacramento, our clients love the following practices about our company: 

  1. Flexible Contracts: We never lock any of our clients into any long-term contracts. So, as a client,  you are free to hire us, modify service schedules, terminate service, etc. at your own will. We simply ask for ample notice to notify our agents and our guards so that we can adjust our schedules and our operations accordingly. 
  2. Merits: Because of the flexibility of our contracts, our employees focus on proving to be valuable assets to our clients. We understand that our clients do not maintain our service in fear of penalty or termination fees. Our clients work with us based on our merits. And when our agents and guards are certain of that, they are much more motivated and eager to provide value to our clients. 
  3. Competitive Rates: We understand that in order to hire a great and professional Security Guard Company, one does not have to compromise on budget. We believe that being one of the best and most competitive Private Security companies in Sacramento is a priceless value. And we accept the price we pay for that status. In order to reach that status, we know that we, not only have to focus on delivering the best security services, but we also have to deliver them at very competitive and friendly rates. Otherwise, our services will be considered best only to the wealthiest. Rather, we want our services to be best for all.

So, if you have never tried our security services in Sacramento or statewide, go ahead and give us a try. We stand behind our security guard company 100% and we are confident that we will exceed your expectations.

Questions & Answers About Private Security in Sacramento

What is the history of the private security industry in California?

The private security industry in California was not regulated until 1915, when the California Detective Licensing Board was established. The PPO license requirement — mandatory for all private security companies operating today — was not added until 1943. For the full history of how private security evolved into the regulated, professional industry it is today, read more here.

What licenses does a private security company need to operate in California?

Every legitimate private security company in California must hold a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). Individual guards must hold a Guard Card, and armed officers must carry a valid Firearms Permit. At PD Agency, we maintain all required licenses and exceed minimum state standards. See the full licensing breakdown here.

What are the different types of private security companies in California?

Security companies in California range from armored cash transfer firms and unarmed guard companies to armed security providers and traffic control specialists. Proactive Defense Security is a full-service company covering all categories plus executive protection, event security, and customized solutions — all available in Sacramento. Learn more about the types of security companies here.

What are the different types of security guards?

Security guards are classified by appearance (uniformed vs. plain-clothes), by weapons (armed vs. unarmed), and by background (citizen guards vs. former military or law enforcement officers). At PD Agency, we always match the right guard type to the right assignment in Sacramento. See the full breakdown of security guard types here.

How much do security guards earn in Sacramento?

Read the full cost breakdown here.

What is the difference between armed and unarmed security guards?
