Armed officers and off-duty police protecting power plants, water facilities, and energy operations across Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware.
Join 200+ facilities secured Nationwide.
When a retail store has a security incident, it loses inventory. When a utility has one, a community loses power, water, or heat. OPPS provides utility security services across Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware for power plants, water treatment operations, substations, and distribution centers- environments where the standard is not looking prepared but being ready at every hour of every day.
Our officers come from law enforcement and military backgrounds, and our critical infrastructure security work is built around a simple reality: these sites are targets precisely because they matter to everyone.
Utility sites run around the clock with rotating staff, third-party contractors, and maintenance crews moving through daily. That churn is the vulnerability. Our officers enforce disciplined access verification and watch for the insider threat as carefully as the outside one.
Protection that interferes with a control room or a maintenance window is protection done wrong. Our officers learn your safety zones, PPE requirements, and personnel flows, then integrate into them. Your operation runs exactly as it should, just safer.
Energy facility security starts with understanding what makes each site vulnerable.
We assess your perimeter exposure, gate and checkpoint layout, substation and equipment zones, staffing patterns, and the hours when coverage runs thinnest. Most facilities face their greatest risk during lightly staffed nights and weekends, so that is where our plans concentrate.
From there we deploy: fixed posts at high-security checkpoints, patrols across fencing and exposed infrastructure, and response procedures coordinated with emergency services and, where required, federal responders. Every shift documented, every incident logged to the standard your compliance and insurance requirements demand.
Operational Police Protective Services
Strict verification of staff, contractors, and deliveries at every entry point, because unauthorized access at a utility site is not a nuisance; it is an emergency.
Unfamiliar layouts and checkpoint procedures burn time. Our port escort security personnel know the Port of Baltimore’s terminals and access points, so navigation is direct and delays stay minimal.
The port does not run 9 to 5, and neither do we. Escorts are available around the clock to match vessel schedules, delivery windows, and overnight arrivals.
Our oil and gas security coverage extends to storage sites, pipeline surface facilities, and distribution operations where remote locations amplify exposure.
Officers reinforce PPE requirements, control restricted zones, and report observed hazards immediately, adding a compliance layer alongside protection.
Breach, protest activity, or threat escalation, our officers respond with law enforcement-level precision and coordinate directly with responders.
Protect your people, property, and operations with highly trained armed security professionals.
Utility operators do not hire us for presence. They hire us because critical infrastructure security demands people who understand what is at stake behind the fence.
