Tactical Alert Force provides highly skilled, armed and fully-equipped officers in uniform or plainclothes, carrying exposed and/or concealed weapons. We are also a State-licensed investigation agency, and can provide detectives in any of the same duty configurations. Our officers are licensed to protect people and/or property, and business operations. Our detectives are licensed to provide personal protection (including executive protection or bodyguard services) and investigative services, (including tactical surveillance to detect, identify and intercept any threats to you, your staff or business operations). Our detectives have the capability to serve as an intermediate or alternative measure to turning potential criminal cases over to law enforcement. This better positions your business to negotiate a private resolution or recovery of any loss, rather than surrender control of the matter to public authorities having primarily a prosecutory interest.

Many private security agencies prefer or require their personnel to have only standard first aid and/or CPR certification. Tactical Alert Force requires both, as well as advancement to, and maintenance of, the EMS First Responder level within a specified period. We also strongly encourage officer advancement to the next level, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). Tactical Alert Force has a number of EMT’s on staff, including some at the EMT-Tactical (SWAT Medic) level, who are capable of performing Tactical Rescue/EMS.

Tactical Alert Force also requires its officers to become trained in light urban search and rescue (USAR), light firefighting and hazardous materials response, including State certification as HazMat First Responders, Operations Level. Like the other critical skills Tactical Alert Force demands, these skills can easily mean the difference between life or death and mitigation of property loss during the most crucial time… before public emergency services arrive. Don’t expect any of these capabilities from most private security agencies.

Speaking of public emergency services, Tactical Alert Force avoids hiring their off-duty personnel. While this may seem curious at first, it’s for the very best of reasons. Public emergency service personnel have an overriding commitment to respond to their agencies when duty calls. Thus, during some of the most critical times that you need their services (such as a riot, hazardous materials incident, high terrorist threat level, earthquake or other natural disaster), they must leave your site to serve the greater needs of the general public. At such times, Tactical Alert Force mobilizes to serve you, not everyone else.

In fact, Tactical Alert Force maintains substantial emergency response and disaster survival resources, specially-equipped vehicles and a number of relevant special licenses and certifications, all of which are placed at the disposal of our clients in times of need.
