PEOPLE

We call our team the Paladin Family, and you’ll quickly discover why. Our ‘promotion from within’ philosophy means we’re dedicated to your development and long-term career goals.

If we say we will do something, you can count on us to back it up. It’s this culture of accountability that allows us to empower every employee at Paladin Security.

Every day is different in the security industry, and we’re committed to helping you succeed in your role. Our advanced training—specific to our clients’ industries—comes as standard for all of our teams. And our unique approach to management growth has earned us a national reputation as the leading training organization within the security industry.
