About Us

Sentry Force Security is a private security firm specializing in armed and unarmed uniformed security services. We provide custom security solutions to clients throughout many different industries, including residential security, commercial security, and industrial security. We evaluate every client's needs and situation to provide them with the best security solutions possible. We understand that each industry we serve is unique and presents different security challenges, which is why we recognize these differences to incorporate them into our custom security solutions for clients.

Sentry Force Security is paving the way through innovation in the private security industry. In today's world, security is becoming a dire need within both the private and public sectors. While public law enforcement services are available to the public, often times emergency services are unable to respond to crises in a timely manner, and during times of disaster, not at all. It is essential for businesses to recognize and evaluate the risk their companies undertake and to effectively mitigate those risks by partnering with a private security firm that they can trust to protect their assets and the safety of their personnel.
