Active federal, state, and local officers available for your business, event, or property.

When you hire off-duty police through Operational Police Protective Services, you get something no ordinary guard company can offer: sworn officers with active law enforcement careers. These are professionals currently serving with federal, state, and local agencies, bringing their training, judgment, and in many cases their legal authority to your property in Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware.
The difference is visible from the moment an officer arrives. A police uniform changes behavior. Would-be offenders recognize it instantly, and most decide your property is not worth the risk. That is the core value of off-duty police security: deterrence that works before anything happens.
Depending on jurisdiction and circumstances, off-duty officers may retain certain legal authorities that private guards simply do not have. Combined with years of street experience reading situations and people, this makes them uniquely effective at stopping problems early.
Every officer we place has already passed the hiring standards of a law enforcement agency: academy training, background investigation, psychological screening, and ongoing certification. OPPS then applies its own vetting on top before any officer represents our clients.
Off-duty police officers for hire are not a luxury reserved for major corporations. They are a practical option for any organization that needs credible protection.
Our process starts with a risk assessment of your property or event. From there, we match officers to the assignment: a fixed post at your entrance, mobile patrols across a large site, or a dedicated detail for a specific date. Deployment is flexible, and compared to the cost of a full private security program, off-duty coverage often delivers more capability per dollar.
Every engagement is managed by OPPS from start to finish. Scheduling, supervision, incident reporting, and coordination with on-duty police when needed- we handle all of it.
