About Us
History
The company's Founder, Jacob Harris and Co-Founder Joshua Griffin met while working at one of the largest corporate retail security companies in the country. Both decided they wanted to make a positive impact on the private security industry. Harris and Griffin realized that they both shared many of the same views regarding multiple aspects of the private security industry. This made them eager to open their own company, one that would effectively intersect their expertise with their respective interests.
Piedmont Security & Patrol Services, LLC opened its doors in 2017. Since then, we've been fortunate to provide uniformed security services to retail locations such as Apple Inc. and TJ Maxx along with stores such as Home Depot and Dick's Sporting Goods.
In 2018, we had the opportunity to begin providing professional patrol services to the Piedmont Triad Metropolitan area.

We champion our team by offering competitive salaries, opportunities for career advancement, and a merit-based environment that fosters a culture of superior service.
It's vital that we work together to ensure the safety and security of you and your property.
Our team looks forward to working with you.
