As the founder of OLDPGS Security Management and a recipient of the 2023 City of Pasadena Business Hall of Fame Award, Tasher believes opportunities are everywhere for those willing to prepare themselves. However, he also believes too many individuals focus on finding excuses instead of taking the necessary steps toward success.
Understanding the Challenges Facing Today’s Security Professionals
The security industry offers countless opportunities, yet many professionals continue to face challenges in securing consistent employment and advancing their careers. Drawing from his own experience, Hayson Tasher Sr. believes that success in today’s security landscape requires more than simply holding a guard card; it demands adaptability, ongoing training, professional development and a willingness to embrace new technologies. Having spent years actively pursuing assignments and expanding his qualifications, Tasher understands firsthand how competitive the industry can be. He notes that while every individual’s circumstances are different, prolonged periods of unemployment often highlight the importance of staying current with industry requirements, maintaining certifications, and continuously investing in one’s professional growth. In an increasingly evolving workforce, he believes those who remain proactive are best positioned to seize opportunities when they arise.
The Power of Investing in Yourself
The power of self-investment became clear as Hayson Tasher Sr. continued expanding his qualifications through additional licenses, permits, certifications, and specialized training. Each new credential opened doors to greater opportunities and professional growth. “I observed myself growing and investing so much that I was beginning to outgrow other officers and even some security companies,” Tasher recalls. As his expertise and ambitions grew, he realized his future extended beyond traditional roles in the industry. That commitment to continuous improvement ultimately led to the founding of OLDPGS Security Management.
The Experience Behind the OLDPGS Standard
The OLDPGS standard was built through years of field experience, professional development, and dedication to the security profession. From working security details for major events and entertainers to earning multiple licenses, permits, and certifications, Hayson Tasher Sr. developed a practical understanding of what clients expect from a security provider. These experiences helped shape a company culture focused on professionalism, accountability, reliability, and a commitment to creating safe and secure environments.
A Commitment to Safety, Security and Service
Security is more than a service; it’s a responsibility. At OLDPGS Security Management, every assignment is approached with a commitment to protecting what matters most. From schools and businesses to special events and private properties, the company combines experience, professionalism, and proactive security strategies to help create safer environments. Driven by the belief that clients deserve protection they can trust, OLDPGS continues to set a standard built on reliability, accountability, and exceptional service.
Leading the Future of Security Services
For Hayson Tasher Sr., success is measured not only by business growth but also by the impact he creates through leadership, innovation, and opportunity. Looking ahead, he envisions expanding OLDPGS through security training centers, specialized event security operations, and the Old Patrolman brand. By investing in the next generation of security professionals and promoting higher industry standards, Tasher is committed to building a legacy that extends far beyond security services, one defined by excellence, opportunity, and lasting influence.
