Security Expertise When and Where You Need It Most
Emerging and ever-evolving threats and regulatory oversight are forcing organizations, large and small, to increasingly require the guidance and expertise of security professionals to update or implement security plans and procedures. Unfortunately, there is no “cookie-cutter” or “one-size fits-all” approach to security. Effective safety and security measures require customized security plans suited to fit your objectives and risks. Typically, accomplishing these tasks requires the skills and knowledge of a full-range of security experts, but by outsourcing services, you can gain the expertise and knowledge of a variety of protection personnel without the cost of associated with a full-time staff.
Sixty percent of American companies outsource all or part of their security operations, and ninety percent of U.S. companies see their reliance on security service outsourcing increasing or staying stable in the year ahead. Several factors are influencing the outsourcing trends, including specialization and requirements based emerging regulations and guidelines. In addition, many mid-to-small companies have limited security needs and the expenses of hiring full-time security directory with the range of skills and experience necessary isn’t prudent.
To maximize the return on your security investment and increase the level of safety and protection for your organization you should consider hiring a security director on retainer. To provide hands-on, expert security management without the fixed overhead associated with hiring a seasoned security director.

Developing Physical Security Programs for Executives
Executive security, whether traveling or at home, cannot be delegated. Instead, an effective policy must be understood, planned, taught and practiced. We can help you develop an integrated program of ongoing security awareness briefings, updates, tips, drills and other communications to inform, educate and create measures and responses to address real, and evolving, threats. With this knowledge, your executives, employees and their families can be prepared to minimize risks and to take the necessary, appropriate actions to best protect themselves.
Executive Protection
Recently, economic situations, among other factors, have not only created emerging threats, but also new sources of those threats. This has forced many executives to maintain an in-house protection team or contract with an outside protection service. U.S. Security Care has a network of agents and resources domestically and internationally to supplement in-house protection or provide complete coverage. Our agents provide logistical and tactical support, including secure transportation procedures, threat assessments, surveillance detection and counter-surveillance.
