About Us

Welcome to USP Security – A Leader in Government and Mission-Critical Security Operations

USP Security is a Washington, DC-based, minority-owned security firm specializing in the delivery of professional armed and unarmed security services across complex, high-demand environments. Fully licensed in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia, USP supports a diverse portfolio of clients throughout the DMV region, ranging from government agencies to high-end commercial and hospitality clients.

With decades of experience and a workforce supporting large-scale, multi-site operations, USP has established itself as a trusted partner for organizations requiring 24/7 coverage, strict compliance, and operational accountability. Our portfolio includes extensive support for public sector clients such as the DC Department of General Services (DGS), Department of Human Services (DHS), and other municipal agencies. In addition, USP provides security services for hotels, commercial properties, and private clients, delivering a high level of professionalism tailored to customer-facing environments.

USP also brings deep experience operating within healthcare-adjacent and residential environments, including shelters, transitional housing, and facilities serving elderly and medically dependent populations. Our personnel are trained to operate with professionalism, awareness, and care in environments where security must be both proactive and service-oriented.

What sets USP Security apart is our operational model, we function as a managed security program, not a traditional guard service. A key differentiator is our dedicated 24/7 Operations Management structure. USP maintains rotating Operations Managers on duty at all times, ensuring continuous oversight of all field operations. This structure provides real-time accountability for incident management, reporting, and response, as well as immediate support for last-minute call-offs or operational issues. At any time, both our guard force and our clients have direct access to an active Operations Manager, ensuring issues are addressed without delay.

Equally important, USP is intentional in how we structure our management oversight. We do not overload our Operations Managers with an unmanageable number of sites or hours. This ensures each client location receives the attention, engagement, and proactive management it deserves—resulting in stronger performance, faster issue resolution, and a higher level of service delivery.

Through centralized oversight and integrated systems such as TrackTik, USP provides full transparency across scheduling, training, compliance, and field operations. Our leadership team maintains continuous visibility into operations, allowing us to proactively manage risk, maintain coverage integrity, and deliver consistent, high-quality service.

At USP Security, we do more than protect – we provide structure, accountability, and peace of mind in environments where it matters most.
