Lobby Security

It makes sense to increase your bank’s protection with an off-duty law enforcement presence. The challenge is to maintain high police visibility without creating an oppressive atmosphere for your customers. However, officers with the proper disposition can be difficult to locate if you do not have the time to properly vet the officers. That’s where we come in.

We offer armed and unarmed off-duty police officers with the temperament and experience to effectively work in your facility. Having visible deterrents inside your branches can help prevent robberies and crime. Officers are available to assist with security services such as last-minute requests, workplace violence, roving patrols, post-hurricane coverage and more. Our team of experts can also visit your locations, then make recommendations on a customized security program to ensure you and your people are safe and secure.

Software Enabled Solutions

Protos was founded on the realization 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.

Vendor Network

Our network of over 4,000 security vendors allows us to ensure your sites have the correct uniforms, trainings and certifications because we right-match their offerings to your requirements. The extensive Protos network covers a variety of needs from emergency and temporary posts to long-term permanent security contracts. The vendor network’s diverse expertise and flexibility allows us to select the right guard company for your needs. It also allows our teams to staff your posts up or down as your needs change.

And while Protos is not a Minority or Woman Owned Business, Protos’ vendor network is made of up of 52% Minority, Woman, Disabled or Veteran owners. We are able to place these companies at a particular location if that is a request by the client.
