Security and Investigation Services Built Around St. Paul
St. Paul is a city of distinct neighborhoods, busy event venues, long winters, and a mix of historic and modern properties. Security that works in Lowertown may not fit a Highland Park HOA or a warehouse near the Mississippi River. That is why every assignment starts with understanding your property, your people, and the problems you are trying to prevent. Our officers and investigators work within Minnesota's protective agent and private detective regulations, and our focus stays on practical protection, accurate reporting, and clear communication with the people who hire us.

Our Security and Private Investigation Services
Security Guard Services
Our security guard services place trained officers on your property to deter theft, control access, and respond to incidents. Coverage is available for offices, retail stores, residential buildings, construction sites, and institutions, with armed or unarmed officers depending on the risk level.
Uniformed Security Guard Services
Uniformed security guard services provide a visible, easily identified officer who discourages crime simply by being present. Uniform styles range from traditional patrol uniforms to business attire for corporate lobbies and healthcare front desks.
Security Patrol Services
Security patrol services send an officer to your property at scheduled or randomized times to check doors, gates, lighting, and parking areas. Patrols are a cost-effective option for vacant buildings, apartment communities, construction sites, and properties that do not need a full-time guard.
Private Investigation Services
Our private investigation services include surveillance, background checks, infidelity investigations, locate investigations, insurance claim investigations, and litigation support. Every case is handled confidentially and documented in a detailed written report.
Commercial Security Services
Commercial security services combine on-site officers, patrols, access control, and loss prevention for offices, retail centers, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and cash-handling businesses. Each plan is built from a site assessment and adjusted as your operations change.
Residential Security Services
Residential security services protect apartment complexes, condominiums, HOAs, and private homes from trespassing, package theft, vehicle break-ins, and vandalism. Coverage can be on-site, patrol-based, or a combination of both.
Event Security Services
Event security services cover concerts, festivals, weddings, corporate functions, fundraisers, and sporting events. Officers handle entry screening, crowd management, alcohol-related enforcement, and emergency response so organizers can focus on the event.

How We Approach Every Security Assignment
Site and Risk Assessment
Every security engagement begins with a walkthrough of your property or a review of your event or case. We look at entry points, lighting, parking, past incidents, and operating hours to determine the right level of coverage.
Written Post Orders and Investigation Plans
Security officers follow written post orders that spell out patrol routes, access rules, and emergency contacts for your site. Investigation clients receive a defined plan outlining methods, scope, and goals before fieldwork begins.
Reporting You Can Use
Officers complete daily activity and incident reports, and investigators deliver written reports with photos and video where applicable. This documentation supports insurance claims, police reports, legal proceedings, and management decisions.
