 A security consultation is essentially a risk evaluation. We walk around your property and inspect it for weaknesses. We look to see if you have security fencing, working cameras, clear walkways and we find local crime statistics for your area. We report risks and suggest how to fix them!  Basically, your everyday decisions greatly impact your safety. When you see something every day, you tend to become blind to it. So, that broken basement lock you've been meaning to tighten, or repainting the street numbers to your home...  Or how about your business not having a monitoring system, or not locking restricted access doors? How do you deal with trespassers? Are all your employees on the same page of what to do in emergencies or hostile situations? Does everyone know where emergency supplies are?  You should have a great sense of security knowing that you are doing all you can to keep your most cherished things safe, even when you can't be there.  With proper ris...

Many people think security is pretty straight forward. However, you'll come to find out there are many different types of officers. You'll have to figure out what level of protection your business or family needs. We will go over different types of security here and what they could offer you.  Armed Security Unarmed Security Mobile Patrol Event Security Uniformed Officers Plain Clothes Officers Construction Security Stationary Guards Escort/Bodyguard Gate/Entry Security Residential guards Business Guards Armed Security:  Armed officers are your best option to protect assets.

Back To School Safety

 Back to school season has sprung! Don't worry, do your happy dance, I'll wait... Many kids are back in school, so Fenrir Tactical Solutions wanted to share a few ways to help keep your kids, and family, safe this school season.  Invest in a camera- If your kids are going to be home alone it would be a great idea to purchase a Ring Doorbell camera and maybe, depending on the family situation, an in-home camera as well. Call Fenrir to do a security consultation, we will let you know what options we think are best for your individual security needs.  Trial Run- If your kids are going to be staying home alone, try practicing leaving the home for half an hour at a time so you both can adjust! Make sure they know how to call 911 and emergency numbers just in case! Teach them to use a fire extinguisher and make emergency plans ahead of time. You can also give us a call to set up "on-call security services".  Teach children about strangers- Of course, we know stranger dange...
