In the heart of California, where innovation meets resilience, one man is quietly reshaping the standards of security management: Hayson Tasher, the visionary behind Old Patrolman Guard Services (OLDPGS). Built on integrity, reliability, and a deep sense of responsibility, OLDPGS isn’t just another security firm, it’s a movement dedicated to creating safer spaces while empowering people through opportunity.
From Patrolman to Visionary Leader
Hayson Tasher’s journey is one of grit and grounded leadership. Unlike many executives who move away from the field as they grow, Hayson continues to be in the thick of operations, conducting patrols, handling day-to-day clerical duties, and ensuring his team upholds the highest standards of professionalism.
“I’m still out there, on the ground, every day,” he shares. “Because leadership isn’t about sitting behind a desk, it’s about standing beside your team.”
His hands-on approach is what sets OLDPGS apart from traditional firms. The company doesn’t just provide security management for clients, it also supports other security companies, offering expertise, training, and operational guidance. Under Hayson’s direction, OLDPGS has become a trusted name in security management services, known for its reliability and strategic approach to modern threats.
Born in a Time of Crisis
The story of OLDPGS traces back to one of the most challenging times in recent history, the COVID-19 pandemic. When the world shut down, security guards became essential workers, standing at the front lines to protect lives, businesses, and communities.
“During COVID-19, while most stayed home, my team stood guard,” recalls Hayson. “That experience strengthened our mission to provide security you can truly count on.”
It was in those testing times that OLDPGS not only survived but thrived. The company’s dedication and agility earned the trust of businesses across the nation, helping it expand its reach and forge affiliations with several other security corporations, giving it nationwide capability.
Opportunity: The Core of Every Mission
For Hayson, success has never been just about profit, it’s about creating opportunities. He believes that giving someone a chance, even a small one, can completely change their path.
“My goal has always been to help people get pointed in the right direction,” he says. “Sometimes, all it takes is one opportunity to help someone build their life.”
This belief also drives his current ambition, the negotiation to acquire another security firm, a move that would further expand OLDPGS’s operations and influence. “Opportunity,” he emphasizes, “is the foundation of everything I do.”
Security You Can Count On
At its core, OLDPGS operates with a simple yet powerful mission: to administer a secure environment. From commercial complexes to private properties, the company provides end-to-end security management from trained personnel to advanced operational systems.
Their motto, “Security You Can Count On,” isn’t just a tagline; it’s a promise backed by years of dedication and trust.
Hayson’s vision doesn’t stop at security services. He’s already looking ahead, envisioning retail outlets carrying the “Old Patrolman” brand of tactical products, from batons and footwear to firearms. He also plans to open security training centers, grooming the next generation of security professionals and leaders.
Staying Thirsty for Opportunity
At 49, Hayson’s perspective on life and leadership is rooted in wisdom and humility. His life lesson is one that resonates deeply: “Time flies. Before you know it, you’re ten years into saying you’ll start that project you promised yourself twenty years ago. Time waits for no one. So if you’re not staying hungry for opportunity, at least stay thirsty.”
It’s this mindset staying “thirsty” that continues to fuel his drive to grow, evolve, and lead with purpose.
Looking Toward the Future
The future of OLDPGS is bright and ambitious. As the company continues to expand its services and affiliations, it remains firmly grounded in its mission to deliver excellence and trust in every engagement. With retail ventures and training institutes on the horizon, OLDPGS is well on its way to becoming a household name in American security management.
In a world that constantly evolves, one thing remains certain: where there’s security to be trusted, Old Patrolman Guard Services will be standing watch.
