For high-risk locations and moments when visible authority matters.
National Protective Service provides off-duty police officers for secondary employment details across San Francisco.
These sworn, POST-certified professionals deliver strong deterrence, disciplined decision-making, and rapid coordination with on-duty resources when appropriate. Typical deployments include high-value retail, cash handling and transports, critical infrastructure, executive visits, terminations, and special events.
We tailor staffing by hour and zone, align post orders with your policies and venue rules, and maintain clear incident documentation.
Subject to agency policy and availability, we’ll scale coverage quickly while keeping operations respectful of your brand and guests.
Our officers are fully licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), trained according to industry standards set by ASIS International, and work in close coordination with the Local Police Department to ensure rapid response and community safety. Whether you require threat deterrence, emergency response, or asset protection, our team delivers professional, discreet, and reliable security solutions tailored to your needs.
Active or recently retired law-enforcement officers with advanced training in use of force, legal standards, and de-escalation.
A visible police presence reduces theft, robbery risk, and disruptive behavior at doors, sales floors, and parking areas.

We align communications and escalation paths, and coordinate with venue management and on-duty units when needed.
Targeted peak-hour posts, overnight patrols, or blended models with security officers for wider coverage.

Off-duty police details deliver the highest level of visible deterrence and decisive response for high-risk environments.
These armed, sworn, POST-certified officers operate under agency policy and California law, bringing courtroom-ready documentation and disciplined decision-making to every post.
Typical deployments include entry/exit presence for high-value retail, pharmacy/jewelry protection, armored cash handoffs, executive movements, critical-infrastructure posts, and event ingress/egress.
We define precise zones of responsibility, radio/phone matrices, robbery and alarm response flows, and evidence-preservation steps in your post orders.
Coverage can be full-shift or targeted to known risk windows such as open/close, weekends, holidays, or product launches.
The result is a strong deterrence that protects staff and customers while preserving your brand experience.
Quick duties: door/entry deterrence • high-value area coverage • cash/pharmacy escort • incident containment • alarm/robbery response • coordination with on-duty units • evidence-grade reporting.
Many clients pair armed off-duty police with our professional security officers to extend their footprint and manage cost without reducing effectiveness.
In this layered model, off-duty police remain armed and concentrate on high-risk zones and peak hours, while security officers (unarmed or armed, per your policy) handle access control, guest service, CCTV/EAS monitoring, queue management, vendor/contractor escorts, and parking/garage patrols.
We write integrated post orders with clear handoffs, shared radio procedures, and unified reporting so every incident is captured consistently.
This configuration keeps your environment welcoming and compliant while ensuring immediate escalation capability wherever it matters most.
Quick duties (security officers): lobby/door presence • CCTV/EAS monitoring • line and crowd control • interior/exterior patrols • loading dock/BOH control • incident logging and photo reports.
Citywide service: Financial District, SOMA, Embarcadero, Union Square, Mission Bay, South Beach, Marina, Presidio, Bayview/Hunters Point, Sunset, and Richmond, with rapid deployment to nearby Bay Area cities.
