OLDPGS Security Management: Redefining Professionalism in California’s Security Industry

In California, where innovation meets opportunity, Hayson Tasher has carved a formidable niche in the security sector with Old Patrolman Guard Services (OLDPGS). Built on integrity, dedication, and hands-on leadership, OLDPGS has become synonymous with dependable security management, offering a professional alternative to a field often bogged down by politics and shortcuts.

From Modest Beginnings to Trusted Security Partner

Tasher’s entry into security was serendipitous: an overnight job in Beverly Hills sparked a passion that would soon evolve into ownership of a licensed security firm. “It was a basic, simple opportunity that changed everything,” he recalls, reflecting on how small moments can catalyze life-changing ventures.

Today, OLDPGS provides comprehensive services to business owners, property managers, and high-profile clients, including celebrities. The company offers affordable consultations to prevent costly missteps from unlicensed operations, ensuring compliance and peace of mind. During the COVID-19 pandemic, OLDPGS officers were recognized as essential workers, maintaining operations amid widespread disruption. Tasher emphasizes the company’s ethical stance, rejecting lucrative offers tied to minority certifications or DEI funding: “We do not do contracts based on race or politics. We are security professionals, plain and simple.”

Hands-On Leadership Sets OLDPGS Apart

Unlike typical security company owners, Tasher remains active in the field, fostering low turnover and strict quality control. Holding multiple licenses, including loss prevention, school security, bail bonds, and bounty hunter credentials, he is also a state-certified instructor planning to launch a dedicated OLDPGS training center.

The firm’s approach is comprehensive: from management and consultation services to plans for retail expansion under the “OLD PATROLMAN” brand, encompassing tactical uniforms, batons, alarm systems, gates, and more. Tasher advises aspiring entrepreneurs, “If you do not have a million in the bank, be actively working for the company yourself.” His ethos emphasizes accountability, reliability, and prudent financial management—covering posts personally when guards call off and carefully managing costs like vehicles, uniforms, and quality control.

Integrity as a Growth Engine

Tasher’s leadership philosophy centers on prioritizing people and operations. “I’ve always been the type to pay guards first,” he shares, underscoring OLDPGS’s commitment to ethical practices. Looking ahead, he envisions Old Patrolman Guard Services (OLDPGS) evolving into a retail brand, further solidifying the company’s role as a benchmark for secure environments across California and beyond.

As Tasher succinctly states, the company delivers “Security you can count on.”
