The Role of Private Security Has Evolved—Are You Keeping Up?

Fifteen years ago, private security was seen as a reactive measure—you hired guards when there was a problem. Today, it’s about proactive risk management, prevention, and strategic security solutions.

At American West Security, we’ve adapted to this shift by integrating federal-grade security strategies, rigorous training, and a prevention-first approach to every client we serve. Whether it’s securing businesses, schools, high-profile events, or executives, our role goes far beyond standing guard—we’re partners in risk mitigation and safety.

Security Professionals: Are You Leveling Up?

The industry is changing. Clients now expect more than just a visible presence—they need critical thinkers, de-escalation experts, and professionals who understand risk assessment. This is why at AWS, we train beyond the industry minimum, ensuring our officers stand out in professionalism, preparedness, and execution.

Clients: Do You Have the Right Security Team?

✅ Are your security providers proactive, or just reactive?

✅ Do they understand risk management and crisis response, or are they just filling a post?

✅ Are they trained beyond the legal minimum to truly protect your people and assets?

If you answered no to any of these, it’s time to rethink your security strategy. A weak security presence isn’t just ineffective—it’s a liability.

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter security solutions. Every client has unique risks, and our approach reflects that. With federal law enforcement experience, strategic training, and a commitment to excellence, AWS is setting new standards in private security.
