Why work at Talon Protection Group?
Talon Protection Group is not your run of the mill security company. While observe and report is always a staple of the industry, we do much more than that. We are a proactive team that actively strives to better the communities in which we work. We are a fully hands-on company, allowing our officers to effectively protect our clients, their property and themselves.
We will provide training at no cost to you. While we do require all candidates to possess their own equipment prior to joining our team, we will provide regular assessments and refreshers to ensure that each officer is certified to use the tools they carry on a daily basis.
Unarmed Security Officers’ pay starts at $22/hr with an active unarmed DPSST certification. Applicants may be eligible for higher starting salary dependent on experience and equipment brought to the company. Further raises are dependent on time served within the company and are performance based.
