PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS TO YOU.

Welcome to
Providence Security Services, Inc.

At Providence Security Services, we believe security is more than a uniform at a post, it’s a promise. Founded by a retired Saint Paul police officer and built on decades of proven leadership, we set out to raise the bar for what clients should expect from a security company. We are proud to be Minnesota-owned, minority-owned, and locally operated operated, right in Saint Paul, delivering local expertise, unmatched professionalism, and personal accountability.

​

Our clients choose Providence because we deliver Security Specialists, not just “guards.” Every member of our team brings real-world law enforcement, military, or high-risk security experience, backed by the kind of judgment, adaptability, and presence that can’t be learned from a short online course or textbook.
