PROTECTION PLUS INC

What PROTECTION PLUS INC does

Protection Plus Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned contract security services firm headquartered at 2345 S Lynhurst Dr., Suite 200, Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in 1988 by Marie A. Stanley as Indianapolis's first female-owned security service and certified as a Women-Owned Business Enterprise at both the Indianapolis city and Indiana state level, the company delivers uniformed and plainclothes security personnel across site security, event security, construction site security, traffic control, and off-duty police officer deployments, serving healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, utilities, entertainment, and corporate clients across Central Indiana.

The company's service portfolio is anchored in hourly-billed guard labor at published rates of $20-$35/hour for unarmed officers, $35-$60+/hour for armed officers, and $30-$50/hour for event coverage, with contracts ranging from single-use through long-term engagements. Two non-labor extensions diversify the offering: LVT (Live View Technology) camera installation and remote monitoring as an add-on surveillance module with HD resolution, motion detection, and mobile viewing, and National Safety Council-affiliated CPR, AED, first aid, and basic life support training.

Commercially, Protection Plus operates a sales-led direct motion with phone-based consultation (317-244-7569) and website-driven quote requests, supported by local SEO, blog content, and Google Maps presence. Named enterprise customers include United Airlines, ICC Lucas Oil Stadium, IndyGo, Stevanato Group, Citizens Energy Group, Wishard Hospital, and Midtown Mental Health. The firm holds no disclosed outside funding and is wholly founder-controlled, with headcount reported as 22 in the most recent structured snapshot (notwithstanding a company narrative claim of 120 employees since founding).

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• St. Moritz Security Services: Mid-size US security firm with strong Midwest and East Coast operations. Comparable mix of manned guarding, concierge, and integrated security technology across commercial and institutional accounts.
• Whelan Security: St. Louis-based regional guarding company serving commercial, healthcare, and event clients. Comparable regional player of similar scale with analogous service mix including off-duty police deployment.
• Per Mar Security Services: Family-owned Midwest security firm headquartered in Davenport, Iowa with strong Indiana presence. Closely comparable mid-size, multi-service guarding company serving healthcare, construction, events, and industrial clients with similar armed/unarmed mix.
• Command Security Services: Smaller national security services firm providing uniformed officers to commercial, aviation, and government clients. Comparable service portfolio including armed/unarmed, off-duty police, and event coverage.
• Bishop Security Services: Indiana-based regional security guard provider serving Indianapolis-area businesses, healthcare, and construction sites. Direct local competitor with overlapping service offerings and geographic footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Allied Universal: Largest US security services firm with significant Indianapolis operations. Comparable guarding, event, and surveillance offerings; Allied competes on national-account reach that Protection Plus cannot match.
• Securitas Security Services USA: Global leader in manned guarding with deep Indiana presence. Highly comparable as both firms provide uniformed, armed, and unarmed officers to commercial, healthcare, and event clients; Securitas is simply much larger and broader-geography.
• GardaWorld Security Services: Global security and cash-services firm with US footprint. Overlaps with Protection Plus on uniformed guarding, event security, and integrated technology solutions; broader scope including armored transport.

Others

• National Safety Council: Standards body with which Protection Plus is affiliated to deliver certified CPR/first-aid training. Enabling partner; included because training is a documented cross-sell revenue line, not a competitive channel.
• Live View Technologies (LVT): Provider of the LVT camera and monitoring platform that Protection Plus resells and integrates. Enabling technology partner rather than direct competitor; comparability stems from shared customers and surveillance-as-a-service business model.
