Why Protos? SECURITY SERVICES for Distribution and Logistics

Close

Because your security program deserves flexibility

The distribution and logistics industry has become a significant target for theft, workplace violence, property damage or vandalism and a host of other crimes. These crimes threaten profitability and increase costs to the consumer. Additionally, they put personnel, inventory, facilities and a company’s reputation at risk.

You can trust our network of security experts to keep your sites secure. Protos provides local, active, off-duty police officers that are familiar with the communities they serve. We also provide a range of guarding services through our network of high-quality vendors across the nation. Security programs can be customized specifically to your locations and needs. You’ll have the ability to scale your security program to distribution centers and site needs. Whether your program is long- or short-term, all Protos clients receive access to our client portal, a dedicated service agent and access to our 24/7 security operations service center.

Safety and risk mitigation

We place customer and employee safety at the highest level of priority. Whether it’s making sure that proper safety protocols, such as ensuring eye wash stations and fire extinguishers are inspected as scheduled, or providing assistance with other facility management tasks, we’re here to help.

We work with clients to leverage resources that handle important roles such as safety-improving training and security contractor responsibilities. Additionally, we offer clients assistance in training-related matters such as first aid, CPR training, OSHA implications and more. Safety and risk mitigation are always top of mind when it comes to serving your facility. We not only work with our clients but partner with them to become safety ambassadors and compliance partners. We match officers’ experience and their agency’s culture to the unique protection needs of the situation they will be placed in. This means our officers come from agencies requiring courtesy and respect while interacting with the public.

Software Enabled Solutions

Protos realized that the security industry was not adopting modern standards and technology. We have been innovating and transforming the industry ever since. We were the first to offer a complete security management dashboard for managing a manned security program. Using any internet-connected device, our clients can view real-time information as well as a data archives for valuable long-term analysis.

And through Protos Labs, our technology division, we are continuing to develop industry leading software to increase operational oversight for our clients.
