Security for
what matters most.
Officer coverage, patrols, fire watch, event support and consulting for the properties, businesses and communities responsible for others in DC and Virginia.
More than security.
A higher standard.
Five disciplines.
One doctrine.
Each service is scoped, priced, and reviewed against a written site brief. Availability is confirmed for the proposed assignment before commitment.
Security
Officers
Uniformed presence with defined post orders, documented daily reports, and dispatch backup at any hour.
Mobile
Patrol
Roving and vehicle coverage across clearly defined boundaries with time-stamped stops.
Fire
Watch
Documented rounds during interruptions to fire-suppression systems or authority-directed watch.
Event
Security
Entry, crowd-management support, and coordination with your venue and program.
Security
Consulting
An outside read on your program, staffing, and post orders — before or after an incident.
Three steps to a
considered assignment.
No hard sell. No blank proposal. A structured conversation about the actual site, the actual risk, and the actual role — before officers stand post on day one.
-
01The brief
Share the site.
Property, event or environment — the questions that need answers before a proposal is written. Access points, hours, responsibilities, and the people who own each decision.
Turnaround · within 24 hours -
02The proposal
Written scope.
Hours, post orders, coverage boundaries, and cost. Clear on what the service does, what it does not, and how it will be reviewed against the brief.
Delivered in writing -
03The assignment
Day-one accountability.
Officers briefed on site orders before day one. Dispatch live at every hour of coverage. Daily reports on schedule. Adjustments in writing, never on assumption.
Live dispatch · every hour
People. Preparation. Purpose.
Security starts before an officer stands post. It starts with a conversation about the property, the people who use it, and the outcomes that matter. Every assignment we take is scoped in writing, reviewed against a brief, and led by a chauffeur or officer who was told what "done" looks like on day one.
Our roster is background-cleared to State-Department protocol, current on Virginia DCJS certifications, and rotated across a small, deliberate set of settings — corporate, residential, event, construction, and public-facing environments across the DMV.
- Services scoped in writing before day one
- Post orders read, briefed, and documented
- Dispatch answered by a human, at every hour
- Discretion, not deterrent theatre

Different settings.
The same discipline.
Twelve environments. One playbook. Explore the setting most like yours, then discuss the specific brief for your site or event with AES.

Where AES
actually stands post.
Falls Church, Virginia headquarters. Standing accounts across the District and Northern Virginia. Eligibility and availability are confirmed by location — never implied by a page.
Washington, DC
Government, corporate, association and public-space environments across the four quadrants.
Where most standing accounts live. Officer coverage, mobile and HOA patrol, fire watch and event support.
Wider Virginia
Requests outside daily catchment are reviewed case-by-case. If AES cannot staff the site, we say so before you commit.
The questions worth
asking before you sign.
