The Hidden Cost
Lost customers cost more than shrinkage. When a store stops feeling safe, regulars go elsewhere and do not come back.

Prime Protection.Experience the PRIME Difference.
Custom security plans for your home, business or location.
Protecting what matters most
Free Site Evaluation
A supervisor walks your home, business or location and reviews incident history, entry points and coverage gaps.
Custom Security Plan
Post orders, patrol routes and response protocols written for your property, not copied from a template.
Trained, Hands-On Officers
Licensed, armed officers who lawfully intervene, backed by supervisors and relief coverage.
The Prime Difference
Built around your property
Every Prime program starts with a free site evaluation. We study your property, your hours and your incident history, then write a security plan that fits, whether it is a storefront, an office, an event or a private residence.
Book a site evaluationWhy Prime
We sell outcomes, not guard hours.
The biggest security loss never shows up on a shrink report. It is the customers who quietly stop coming to a store that feels unsafe.
Hands-On Deterrence
Most providers are contractually hands-off. Prime officers make lawful apprehensions, recover merchandise and remove disorderly subjects.

No two properties are alike. Your plan sets post orders, patrol routes and response protocols for your specific site.
Read moreExecutive protection
Armed. Discreet. Fully capable.
Close protection for executives, high-net-worth individuals, public figures and families. Our agents work in business attire, fully armed and medically trained, so your principal looks like they are traveling with a colleague, not an entourage.
- Close protection details and secure transportation
- Advance work on every venue before arrival
- Residential, travel and event security
- Threat assessments and protective intelligence
Training & range time
Trained far beyond the state minimum.
Oregon requires 14 hours of classroom training to stand an unarmed post. That is where Prime training starts, not where it ends. Our officers train on the range, rehearse de-escalation, and requalify every year.
- DPSST armed certification and annual firearms qualification
- Defensive tactics, restraint and positional-asphyxia training
- First aid, CPR and AED before the first solo shift
- Annual refreshers in de-escalation, use of force and report writing

The reality in Portland
No one is coming in time. So we are already there.
Police cannot reach most retail calls in a timeframe that matters. A guard who can only call 911 is, in effect, doing nothing.
