What Is Veterans Security Operations?
Veterans Security Operations (VSO) is a 100% U.S. military veteran-led private security company serving Tacoma, Washington. Headquartered nearby in Puyallup with deep coverage across all of Pierce County, VSO provides armed and unarmed security guards, mobile patrol, 24/7 GSOC monitoring, executive protection, and security training to Tacoma businesses, the Port of Tacoma, downtown campuses, retail districts, residential communities, and major event venues. Every manager, supervisor, and operations lead is a U.S. military veteran. Unlike traditional security companies, VSO directly employs every officer — no subcontractors, no staffing agencies, no rotating contractors.

Why Tacoma Needs Veteran-Led Security
Tacoma is the second-largest city in Washington State and home to a unique mix of security demands. The Port of Tacoma — one of the largest container ports on the West Coast. JBLM's proximity creates a steady flow of military personnel and contractors. Downtown Tacoma is in the middle of a development surge with high-rise construction, new corporate offices, and growing retail. Cheney Stadium hosts Rainiers games and major events. VSO's Tacoma teams understand these environments — port-area logistics security, executive protection at corporate offices, construction site coverage, and event security across Pierce County.
