The Nation’s Fastest-Growing Security Company 

Founded in 2021, Shield Security is a minority-owned, Detroit-based, and Detroit-headquartered company established by former Detroit Police Officers Grant Burns and Mark Oliver.

Recognizing a gap in the quality of contract guard services across Metro Detroit, Grant and Mark set out to raise the standard. By offering competitive pay, comprehensive training, structured leadership, and the right tools and technology, Shield Security has redefined what it means to be a professional security provider.

Today, Shield Security delivers unarmed, armed, and mobile patrol services for a wide range of clients—including automotive manufacturers, casinos, residential communities, government agencies, and private businesses.

What began in Detroit has quickly grown into one of the nation’s fastest-expanding security providers, now operating in multiple states. Our growth is fueled by our ability to hire and retain top-tier officers, offer career advancement opportunities, and build a culture of excellence and long-term commitment. At Shield Security, we’ve turned the role of a security officer from a job into a meaningful career dedicated to safety, service, and integrity.
