Protective Services
Authentic Protective Services is a licensed protective agency in the state of Minnesota. We provide plain-clothed armed protective services to business, utilities, and private individuals. We’re professional, presentable, and able to work in any situation. Available short notice during times of high-risk employee terminations or where ensuring safety is paramount.
In matters of workplace issues, all threats, real or perceived, should be taken seriously. Legal departments and human resources understand the importance of taking whatever measures necessary to protect their employees. Often such action includes hiring outside protective agencies to complement their own security force. When dealing with threats of physical harm or death, it’s imperative that agents be involved who are specifically trained in preventative and de-escalation measures.
Local law enforcement can only be hired if the location where the protective services are needed falls within the officer’s jurisdiction. And, if the officer has permission from their department. If this is not an option, we can help. We are licensed, bonded and insured protective agents.
Our clients can be assured we don’t utilize individuals who aren’t licensed protective agents, or a state recognized employee of a licensed agency as required by law. Some companies enter into illegal arrangements with individuals moonlighting without the proper credentials, licensing and bonding. A risk to any company doing the hiring.
When seeking armed protective agents, vet those working on your behalf. Ensure they're not contacting out-of-state, non-Minnesota licensed protective agent friends for the coordination, and sharing of profits, on Minnesota specific protective details.
