United Protective Services Celebrates 25 Years

United Protective Services is proud to celebrate 25 years of providing exceptional security services across Texas and Oklahoma. What began in 1999 as a vision to create a security company built on integrity and professionalism has grown into one of the region's most respected security firms.

Founded in Dallas by Eddy Allen, a former security officer who understood the industry from the ground up, United Protective Services was built on the principle that quality security starts with quality people. From our first client contract to today, we have maintained an unwavering commitment to excellence in every aspect of our operations.

Over the past 25 years, our growth has been remarkable. We have expanded from a single office in Dallas to seven branch locations throughout Texas and Oklahoma, employing more than 1,200 dedicated security professionals. Our team serves diverse industries including commercial real estate, healthcare, retail, industrial facilities, and residential communities.

This milestone year also marks our continued recognition as one of North America's top security companies. We have received multiple industry awards and accolades, including being named to the Dallas 100 list of fastest-growing companies and receiving recognition from BOMA, IREM, and other professional organizations.

Our success is built on strong partnerships with our clients and a deep commitment to our employees. We have invested heavily in training, professional development, and creating career advancement opportunities that allow security officers to build long-term careers with our organization.

"Twenty-five years ago, we set out to build a security company that would set new standards for professionalism and service excellence. Today, I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished and excited about the future ahead."

Andy Allen, President and Owner

As we look ahead to the next 25 years, we remain committed to the values that have guided us since day one: integrity, professionalism, and an unwavering dedication to protecting what matters most to our clients.
