After decades of working as a security professional for companies who consistently provided substandard quality of protection to their client, the founder formed BlueTac. With a passion for “Protecting What Matters” he set out to build a company with a quality first approach and a zero shortcuts policy. He says, “I have a passion for reducing the crime and fear people experience in their daily lives and business. This requires security professionals who are as dedicated to the cause as they are a paycheck. With the right people, not just anyone who could fog a mirror, we will invest in them, their training, and their equipment to produce the most trained, equipped, and highly prepared security professionals in the industry.” His commitment to these principles have led to what is now the BlueTac Company Creed below:

BlueTac Security Professionals Creed

We, here at BlueTac, see ourselves as an augmented force to the sometimes-limited capacity of our police departments. We are first responders, difference makers, protectors of the public and our civil way of life and business.

We stand on the front lines in a war against violence, theft, human trafficking, disorder, trespassing, and vandalism. We are agents of our clients, trained and equipped to uphold their rights against such violations to their freedom from fear and their pursuit of happiness as a business owner and/or citizen. Many of our guards are former police and military trained personnel, some are heroes, but all are willing to place themselves in harm’s way to protect the homes, property, lives, and livelihood of those we serve.

For the reasons above, we hold high standards of character, conduct, appearance, and performance. We will not waiver these standards under the pressures of popularity, convenience, or opportunity.
