What AEGIS Security & Investigations does

AEGIS Security & Investigations is a privately held, California-licensed full-service security firm headquartered in Culver City and operating across security delivery, private investigations, training, and consulting. The company fields armed and unarmed officers, personal and estate protection agents, off-duty/retired police officers, and loss-prevention agents; provides private investigation services spanning skip tracing, TSCM, civil/criminal/corporate and family-law matters, and process service; delivers BSIS-authorized training (guard card, PSO, active shooter, workplace violence prevention, school security); and runs a consulting practice covering vulnerability assessments, systems design, travel risk management, and expert witness work. A proprietary web-based command-and-control system with GPS tracking and remote scheduling underpins field operations, paired with an AI-assisted 24/7 Global Security Operations Center for threat intelligence and remote guarding, plus deployed Knightscope autonomous robots and decoy patrol vehicles as technology adjuncts.

The firm's commercial model is professional-services based, with custom, quote-driven pricing aligned to officer type (armed vs. unarmed, off-duty police), assignment duration, threat level, and geographic scope, typically contracted on multi-year terms. Distribution is a direct enterprise field-sales motion supported by referral partnerships with the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles Community Security Initiative, Secure Community Network, ADL, FBI Infragard, ASIS International, and Cal-ORCA, plus marketing through a content/SEO engine and CEO media appearances. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is founder-owned and operates without disclosed external capital or parent-company relationships, with subsidiary disclosures limited to a DBA of "AEGIS." Certificated competencies include CA PPO #16744, CA PI #27756, BSIS guard card and PSO training authority, plus exposed-firearm, baton, chemical-agent, and taser permits for officers.
