What Veterans Security Corps of America does

Veterans Security Corps of America (VSC) is a private, service-disabled, veteran and minority-owned contract security firm headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, founded in 2009 by George Beasley alongside other retired military and law enforcement professionals. The company provides armed and unarmed security officers for stationary post, foot patrol, and mobile patrol assignments, primarily serving government and institutional facilities (including Broward County Transit, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport, and Broward County South Regional Courthouse), with additional service lines for conventions and events, seaports and airports, educational institutions, and fire/EMS support. Operations span Florida (Fort Lauderdale, Orlando) and Tennessee (Kingsport).

VSC differentiates on a veteran-led workforce model with a reported ~95% personnel retention rate — substantially above the industry norm — and a proprietary technology layer branded as its Integrated Security Operations and Workforce Management Platform. The platform combines GPS and NFC-based guard tour systems, geolocation dispatch tracking, real-time customizable client dashboards, lone-worker emergency assistance, time and attendance tracking, and a Command Center / GSOC for multi-site threat awareness; the Silvertrac mobile application supports field incident reporting. Cybersecurity protocols are stated to meet federal standards. The technology is positioned as a managed differentiator layered on top of what is otherwise a labor-intensive services business.

The commercial model is sales-led and quote-based, with recurring contract security as the primary revenue stream and project/event security as a secondary, professional-services stream. Customer acquisition is driven by direct outreach, the company website, phone, and online contact forms, augmented by government contracting channels accessible via the firm's service-disabled veteran and minority-owned certification. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm states it pays above-market hourly wages to support retention.
