Old Dominion Security Company, Inc. (“ODS”) provides professional security staff and responsive services with a balance of behavioral observation skills, proactive oversight and an understanding of your unique environment.

ODS was established in Richmond, Virginia in January 1997 with a “new” management philosophy. The core background of each manager differs slightly from traditional security firms in that they were hired as much because of their people management skills as their security services background. We believe it’s only in the combination of security AND people management that a quality employee and customer experience can be delivered. The purpose of this approach is simple: We want to be unique in an industry that typically treats their officers/employees as minimally important to the business. Customer Relations and Officer/Employee Development ARE the keys to effective security.

ODS believes the work we do matters and also in the power of untapped human potential. We execute on these beliefs mindful of our 5 principles designed to guide our efforts:

  Consistent RESPECT for the individual

  PROFESSIONAL Approach to Everything We Do

  PRUDENT action in All Situations

  Customer Trust Developed through DEPENDABILITY

  DILIGENT Protection of our Customer's Environment

We partner with our clients to create solutions to their unique requirements using a dedicated group of experienced managers and trained on-site staff. We have the talent, the resources, and the experience to get the job done right.
