Why ATPS
The accountability you have been missing
Run by former law enforcement
Our leadership has worked patrol and answered calls for service. We plan posts the way responders think about incidents: what goes wrong, where, and how to stop it early.
A real person answers
You get direct access to the people who run your account. No call center, no rotating account managers, no waiting until Monday.
Proof your officer is on post
GPS-enabled incident reporting and required check-ins show when each round happened and what the officer saw.
Covered if something goes wrong
A $5M umbrella liability policy, an A+ BBB rating, and officers who are drug tested and background checked before they ever reach your site.
Contracts that fit the job
Month-to-month or annual terms. We work with you on scope and pricing because we want the relationship to last.
Officers trained past the minimum
Ongoing training in customer service, crisis prevention and intervention, and report writing on top of each state's licensing requirements.
How it starts
From site survey to officers on post
- 01
Free site survey
A supervisor walks your property, reviews past incidents and asks how your people use the space. You get a written coverage recommendation.
- 02
Post orders and staffing
We write clear post orders, set check-in points and match licensed officers to the post: armed, unarmed or DC Special Police Officer.
- 03
Coverage with accountability
Officers report through GPS-enabled software, supervisors check posts, and you have a direct line to leadership whenever you need it.

What are contract security services?
Contract security means you hire officers through a licensed security company instead of employing them directly. The company handles licensing, training, scheduling, supervision and insurance.
Which security service is right for my property?
It depends on your risks, hours and budget. A free site survey is the fastest way to find out. We will recommend a mix of fixed posts, patrol and technology.
Do you provide private security services for individuals?
Yes. We provide executive protection and residential security for individuals and families.
