Veterans Covert Protection Group provided security for our annual fundraising gala. Totally professional from the moment of our reaching out. Site visit prior to our event. Night of, all three guards arrived early ready to work. They had us express what things we were concerned about, checked out the event layout and set up a group text. The team was on alert and checked in with us regularly throughout the evening. When we need security we call VCPG.

We used VCPG recently for an event we had and couldn't be more pleased. Our guests were walked to their cars and felt safe, and as planners, we felt relief!

Great experience with VCPG regarding parking lot security at a youth Cross Country meet. Staff controlled access to the lot and assured that people parked in designated spaces. They were both professional, timely, friendly and easily identified. The experience with VCPG was outstanding from start to finish of the two events.
