About United Protective Services
Ohio's Most Trusted Security Partner
Built on integrity, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to protecting what matters most.
Our Story
Rooted in Ohio. Built for the Long Haul.
United Protective Services was founded with a single mission: to deliver professional, reliable security services to Ohio businesses, communities, and events. What started as a small team of dedicated officers has grown into one of the state's most respected private security firms.
We understand Ohio. We know its cities, its industries, and its people. That local knowledge — combined with military-grade training standards — is what sets our officers apart from the competition.
Every client we serve receives a customized security plan, not a one-size-fits-all approach. From corporate campuses to community events, we bring the same level of professionalism and vigilance to every post.
Protecting Ohio — One Post at a Time.
