  • Why hire a police officer?

    Usually the first question we receive from potential clients is “Why can’t we just hire a security guard?”.

    Security guards can potentially be an effective deterrent against some crime, but in most cases that is all a security guard can do is act as a deterrent.  Most security guards have none to limited training and can potentially be a huge liability for your company.  Our officers are highly trained officers from local law enforcement agencies in Indiana with years of experience in dealing with highly volatile situations.

    Sworn police officers are always “on-duty” which means they can immediately take action against a suspect. They don’t have to call the police, because they are the police!

    On-Target Security hires only sworn police officers that are highly trained professionals.  If an emergency were to happen at your event, our uniformed or plain clothes officers will be able to react swiftly to deal with the situation.

  • Homeowner associations turn to private security

    The Indianapolis Star reported recently that homeowner associations looking to private security to help keep their neighborhoods safe.   Homeowners say that they private patrols have provided a sense of security when city budgets have caused fewer cops to be on the streets.

    The trend is not new to just Indianapolis.  Homeowner associations and neighborhood community groups have expanded their community watch patrols to include off-duty patrols.

    Off-duty officers provide a cost-effective solution to neighborhood groups — providing their residents with a piece of mind that a licensed law enforcement officer is helping to keep their neighborhood safe.

    If your a member of a homeowner’s association and would like to learn more about the neighborhood protection services we offer at On-Target Security, email us to request more information or to set up a custom consultation.

    In the end, your family’s safety and security is most important.  Our officers are trained professionals who will help provide the security presence, but also be able to enforce the law if a crime occurs.

    Peace of mind is worth the investment.
