The Security Team Campaigns Have Never Had
Most campaigns run their events with volunteers, or by working out security with Capitol Police. There has never been an outside, professional team a campaign can simply hire to run the whole security side of an event. U.S.S. Agency is that team.
We protect elected officials and candidates running for office — from local races to the Florida House, the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate and beyond. We have protected state and federal campaigns, including a U.S. Senate endorsement event. We protect candidates and officials of every party.
It is plug-and-play: we show up, set up the security for your event, protect your principal from arrival to departure, and clear out when it is over. Licensed in Florida since 2008 — 18+ years (Florida License B2800082), with 280+ licensed officers. We can deploy within 24 hours.
Before the Event: Advance and Planning
- Venue walk-through before event day — entrances, exits and weak spots
- Our advance team arrives hours before the principal
- Entrance and exit plan for the principal, including an emergency exit
- Emergency plan with a route to the nearest hospital
- Coordination with local police, the sheriff's office and, when involved, Capitol Police
- Background checks on our own officers and on the event staff, vendors and volunteers the campaign gives us
Screening at the Door
- Walk-through metal detectors, set up and tested by our own technician
- Wand officer, bag checks and weapons screening
- Guest-list and credential checks
- Backstage, green room and VIP-area access control with wristbands and credentials
During the Event
- Armed and unarmed officers
- Plain-clothes officers who blend into the crowd, so security stays low-key and the event runs without disruption
- Perimeter security
- Close escort to and from the venue, on stage, with press and on photo lines
- Handling protesters calmly — keeping a safe buffer and de-escalating
- Traffic and parking direction
- A radio-linked team with one point of contact for the campaign
Getting There and After
- Pick-up and drop-off and transport for the principal
- Hotel and overnight security
- Final sweep and clear-out of the venue after the event
- We can travel with your principal outside Florida — ask us about out-of-state details
