A National Security Partner That Understands Local Security Companies
Running a security company means making payroll, maintaining licenses and insurance, filling open posts, supervising officers and responding when a client suddenly needs additional coverage.
USPA understands the operational side of this business because we have been doing it since 2005.
Our Certified Contractor Network allows qualified local security companies to receive additional project opportunities while continuing to operate independently under their own business entity, management and licenses.
USPA manages the national client relationship and project coordination. Approved contractors provide properly licensed personnel and perform accepted assignments according to the agreed scope.
Every opportunity is optional. Before accepting an assignment, the contractor receives the location, scope, schedule, requirements and agreed rate.
USPA does not guarantee any particular volume of work.
You Perform the Work. We Pay You.
Security contractors should never have to wonder whether a national company will pay after the assignment is completed.

Net 7 terms apply to approved contractor invoices paid by wire transfer.
Net 1
Credit card payment

More Opportunities Without Giving Up Your Company
Joining the USPA contractor network does not mean giving up control of your company.
- Your business remains independently owned and operated.
- USPA does not acquire your company.
- USPA does not take ownership of your existing clients.
- USPA does not charge a membership fee.
- USPA does not collect a percentage of revenue from work you generate independently.
- The relationship applies to assignments offered by USPA and accepted by your company.
This gives established local security businesses an opportunity to supplement their existing client base with additional commercial, emergency and national-account assignments.
