What armed personal protection includes
Close personal protection:
We provide one-on-one or small-team protection for clients who need a visible or discreet security presence during daily activities, travel, or specific events. Your officer stays close, monitors the environment, and responds immediately to suspicious behavior or emerging risks.
Residential and family protection:
We can secure your home, apartment, or temporary residence with armed officers positioned appropriately based on your risk level. This may include perimeter checks, access control, and safe arrival and departure coverage for you and your family.
Workplace and public appearance protection:
If you are attending court, public meetings, business events, or media appearances, we can provide armed protection from arrival to departure. Our officers coordinate movements, watch for unwanted contact, and help you move safely through crowds and public spaces.
Threat-driven protection plans:
If you are dealing with threats, harassment, stalking, or domestic-related concerns, we build a protection plan around your specific situation. We can coordinate with law enforcement when appropriate and document incidents to support restraining orders or legal action.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Q&A's)
-
What is armed personal protection?
Armed personal protection is a professional security service where a trained, licensed officer provides close‑range safety for individuals facing elevated risk. The officer remains alert, prepared, and positioned to prevent threats before they escalate.
-
Who typically needs armed personal protection?
Who typically needs armed personal protection? Clients often include individuals experiencing harassment, stalking, domestic issues, workplace hostility, or legal disputes. Executives, business owners, and high‑visibility professionals also rely on protection during travel, meetings, and public appearances.
-
How does an armed protection officer keep clients safe?
Officers use threat assessment, situational awareness, and controlled positioning to identify and deter danger. Their presence alone reduces risk, while their training ensures they can respond decisively if a threat emerges.
-
Is armed personal protection legal in Ohio?
Armed protection is legal when provided by officers licensed through the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s PISGS division. This licensing ensures proper training, accountability, and compliance with state regulations.
-
How quickly can armed protection be arranged?
In urgent situations, protection can often be deployed the same day after a brief risk assessment. For planned events or ongoing needs, scheduling is flexible and tailored to your timeline.
-
What training do armed protection officers receive?
Officers complete instruction in firearms safety, defensive tactics, threat recognition, emergency response, and the lawful use of force. They also undergo ongoing training to maintain readiness and professional standards.
-
How do I know if I need armed protection instead of unarmed security?
Armed protection is recommended when there is a credible threat, a history of conflict, or a situation where violence cannot be ruled out. Unarmed security is suitable for low‑risk environments where visibility and monitoring are the primary needs.
-
Can armed protection be used for short‑term situations?
Armed protection can be arranged for temporary needs such as court appearances, domestic transitions, workplace terminations, or high‑risk meetings. Short‑term coverage provides immediate stability during unpredictable moments.
-
Will the officer stay with me throughout the day?
Officers can provide continuous close protection, including at home, work, or during travel. Their role is to remain within immediate reach to ensure your safety at all times.
-
Is armed personal protection discreet?
Officers maintain a professional, low‑profile presence that blends into your environment while still providing full protective coverage. Their goal is to keep you safe without drawing unnecessary attention.

I am so very satisfied with my services!!! This team was professional, very well equipped and knowledgeable. This staff was personable and understood my situation.

"
fully aware professionals detailed reports with every action taken they truly go over an beyond for the tenants and our staff.
"
Hired to handle service in Ohio. Did what they said they would when they said they would. Communicated when there were difficulties locating the people to be served. I felt like they actually cared about doing a good job, not just doing a job. Would definitely use them again.
"
My fiancee and i have used Patrick at Ohio Security & Investigations multiple times ( for servance on custody and divorces both in OH and PA ) and will continue to do so. Fast, thorough, and reasonably priced.
"
The Sheriff failed to serve my defendant twice, but Ohio Security & Investigations got it done the first day after I hired them! I would definitely work with them again in the future.
"
Patrick, Brian and the whole team at Ohio security and investigation really came through for me. I was at a loss on how to handle a breakup and kept hearing about how my ex had been cheating and using me the entire time. I got the team started and within 2 weeks they had found a pattern of abusive manipulative behaviors from multiple ex girlfriends. Lying cheating and stealing were a game for him. This whole team took me under their wing and made sure I was safe as they planned and executed the retrieval of my items. I will be forever grateful for my life back.
