About PrÆlio®

PRAELIO’s founders bring decades of hard-earned experience, from commanding infantry and maritime operations to safeguarding some of our nation’s most vulnerable critical infrastructure. Our entire team mirrors this exceptional background, hailing from esteemed military, law enforcement, and high-risk commercial sectors. We take pride in reinvesting our talents and expertise to serve our clients.

We are licensed to conduct armed security operations in multiple states throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. We grow with our clients, so if we are not licensed in your state, we will pursue licensure to meet your needs.

PRAELIO® is fully insured with professional and general liability coverage. We are also bonded as required by state regulations in every jurisdiction where we operate.

We provide a solution-focused, systems-driven approach to security – positioned specifically to serve vulnerable populations.

As your dedicated security provider, PRÆLIO ensures you receive customized products and services that address your unique situation.

PRAELIO® offers end-to-end security services specifically tailored to the intricacies involved with vulnerable populations.

As a veteran owned and operated security firm, we understand that security is not a one-dimensional compliance mechanism, but a continuous and ever-improving state of existence.

We have identified that attacks on vulnerable populations are a growing modern trend. The mechanisms in place are often designed to react to these attacks, rather than prevent them.

We served our country in the military and as law-enforcement officers and the skills that our government gave to us can be better served protecting those most vulnerable.

The common trend is that most facilities are woefully underprepared and under-secured. Many security plans serve as “check-in-the-box” administrative tools designed to meet the standard regulatory or insurance requirements.

Although this is a good place to start, each security plan needs to be tailored specifically to the particular institution.

A PRAELIO®security program is a multi-layered, living mechanism that builds out internal roles and responsibilities, risk mitigation measures, threat-response and recovery procedures, and a proficiency and sustainment model.

We will start by conducting an assessment, then we will provide a detailed analysis of threats and your current security viability, followed by specific recommendations once we know your budgetary constraints.

Finally, we will assist in the implementation of your security plan.

Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, it’s not. Not only can effective security become costly, but often there are policy restrictions that block the implementation of effective security practices.

We understand this and have developed tiered options that can be implemented if you are restricted due to fiscal or regulatory blockages.

Although every plan is different, the commonalities we focus on are active protection, target hardening, and preparedness.

Predators seek out soft targets. We will ensure that your institution is difficult to penetrate and that any perpetrator is delayed in their approach.

Physical deterrents are critical, but the human factor is the catalyst of a truly successful security plan and most importantly, incident response protocol.

Our programs ensure that your team members each know their role, how it fits within the greater picture, and how to respond if chaos ensues.

Humans will fall back on their training during crisis; thus, training is a critical component of a responsible security program.
