ABOUT TITAN
PROTECTING THE MIDWEST WITH OFFICES IN KANSAS CITY, OMAHA, & ST. LOUIS
Titan Protection has been the premier provider of video monitoring and security guard services for nearly 15 years.
Ryan Smith, President and Founder of Titan Protection started the company after 20 years in law enforcement. Throughout his career, he frequently encountered low-paid, under-trained security guards who were not equipped to do their jobs effectively. Ryan knew there was a better way to provide security services through better training and technology, and he founded Titan Protection.
Our team of highly trained professionals consists mainly of off-duty law enforcement officers who are experts in community safety and police procedures. Headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, with branches in Omaha, Nebraska, and St. Louis, Missouri, Titan Protection can easily and quickly deploy across the Midwest.
Our mission is to protect our clients’ peace of mind by combining superior people and technology to deliver the best security solutions based on speed, quality, and service.
