As crime surges and police resources dwindle in major cities across the country, business owners, government officials, celebrities, and residents are turning to private security (executive/close protection) to ensure their safety. 

There are roughly twice as many security guards employed in the U.S. than there were 20 years ago, according to the Security Industry Association, though the nation’s population has only grown 16% over the same time period. By 2021, there were about 2 police officers but 3.1 security guards for every 1,000 civilians.

But the private sector also poses some challenges. The level of training provided to private officers varies greatly from company to company. Regulatory oversight is limited, which means background check requirements and use of force reporting requirements tend to be more lenient. The lack of accountability mechanisms remains a primary concern. But, not at TSS.

We execute thorough background checks, work hand in hand with local state and federal regulators and police, maintain detailed use-of-force reporting, and invest nearly $10k per year on each officer/agent employed. TSS maintains a partnership with a private training company where Navy SEALS, Green Berets, CAG/ACE, and other U.S. Special Forces Operators train and monitor all TSS Chicago field staff for competency and safety. These are among the many reasons TSS Chicago is trusted to provide executive protection for domestic and international government officials within greater Chicagoland.
