Officers trained for port and warehouse facilities, corporate offices, and retail centers across the Baltimore metro area.
Join 200+ facilities secured Nationwide.
Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, Operational Police Protective Services provides security coverage across the city and the surrounding metro area. This means
businesses can request an assessment and begin planning coverage quickly. Our officers come from federal, state, and local law enforcement and military backgrounds, and we have protected many Baltimore properties, port operations, and events.
From a single overnight post to a standing detail across multiple facilities, Baltimore security guard services from OPPS are staffed fast, supervised properly, and documented to the standard your insurers and auditors expect.
Baltimore is our home city and the site of our headquarters, and it shows in how we serve it: same-week staffing, officers drawn from the region’s own law enforcement agencies, and daily work at the Port of Baltimore, where our TWIC escorts keep freight moving through secure terminal areas. From Inner Harbor properties to the warehouse corridors feeding the port, this is the city we know best.
Baltimore properties deal with real security pressure, and they deserve officers who have handled it professionally for a living. Every OPPS officer holds or has held a position of public trust in law enforcement or the military, and brings that standard of ethical conduct, composure, and accountability to every Baltimore post.
Baltimore’s security picture is defined by its economy, and no single approach covers it.
The Port of Baltimore anchors one of the busiest freight gateways on the East Coast. Cargo theft pressure follows the containers inland, which puts the warehouse and distribution corridors feeding the port under constant watch, and the port’s secure areas create steady demand for TWIC escorts to move non-credentialed drivers legally through terminal gates.
Downtown, the Inner Harbor and central business district combine office towers, hotels, and tourism foot traffic, each with its own access control and visible-presence needs. The city’s hospital and university anchor institutions run around the clock and carry patient, student, and staff safety obligations that never pause. Retail corridors and residential communities across the city face security challenges that require professional deterrence and proactive protection. Security guards Baltimore properties rely on have to be matched to the block, the building, and the hour, and that is how we assign them.

Private security in Maryland is regulated by the Maryland State Police Licensing Division, which licenses security agencies and certifies individual guards, with separate handgun permit requirements for armed assignments.
OPPS is a Maryland company in full standing with these requirements, and every officer we post in Baltimore carries the certification and permits the assignment demands. When you hire security in Baltimore, MD, you are hiring a firm regulators have already cleared, so compliance is built into the contract, not bolted on after.
FAQs
