ABOUT US
Since 2002, High Rock Security has brought our experience to events and security situations of all sizes. We grew out of the desire to bring calm to any storm, and it remains at the core of what we do.
High Rock’s staff is cross-trained in many disciplines including access control, investigations, surveillance, martial arts, vehicle patrol, and first aid. Our team is selected for their observational and interpersonal skills. We respond to highly delicate situations with professionalism and discretion to prevent issues from escalating. We follow a non-confrontational philosophy. Although avoiding physical force is the goal, we will do what is needed to keep everyone safe.
We work in close cooperation with many agencies including local, state, and federal law enforcement, as well as medical and fire professionals.
