Built by a Former Police Officer
A Cincinnati-based security agency applying 45 years of law enforcement standards to every patrol, investigation, and protection detail we deploy.
Trusted by 1,000+ churches, commercial properties, residential communities, and retail locations across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky & Georgia
Metro Security & Detective Agency provides professional protection and investigative services that are accountable, responsive, and grounded in real law enforcement experience.
Founded in 1984 by B.H. Wells — who has worked in law enforcement and currently serves as a Homeland Security Specialist — we operate on a simple principle: security is a responsibility, not a service.
Every officer, investigator, and protection detail we deploy is trained for your site before they start, backed by a supervisor you can reach directly, and held to standards shaped by 45 years on the job — not a manual.
B.H. Wells — 40+ Years in Law Enforcement & Security
He brings experience from local, federal law enforcement, and private security operations at every level.
BBB A+ Accredited since 2017.
One Standard. Every Assignment. Every Time.
Every Metro service — whether it's a patrol officer checking a loading dock, an investigator documenting a workplace incident, or a protection detail coordinating executive transport — operates on the same principles.
Site-trained before day one. Your officer, investigator, or detail team trains on your property or reviews your case file before they start. No learning on the job. No strangers showing up blind.
Supervisor access, not a call center. When you call Metro dispatch, you reach a supervisor who knows your site and can deploy personnel — not a voicemail queue, not a general inbox. That's true 24/7.
Written proof for every assignment. Daily patrol reports with GPS timestamps and photos. Investigation findings with chain-of-custody documentation. Training completion records. You get proof the work was done, not a logbook entry.
Deployment in as little as 24 hours. Most services can have personnel on site within 24 to 72 hours. No long lead times, no runaround — because when you need security, you need it now.
Licensed, Bonded, and Insured — Since Day One
Every officer state-certified. Every contract fully covered. Backgrounds checked, GPS-tracked, supervisor-verified. These aren't optional — they're the baseline.
State Licensed Since 1984
Ohio Licensed Security Company. Fully authorized to provide security guard, investigative, and protective services. Over 40 years of continuous operation.
BBB A+ Accredited Since 2017
Not just rated — accredited. That means Metro has passed the BBB's standards for trust, transparency, and responsiveness. Independently verified.
Insurance & Bonding Above Minimums
Liability coverage exceeding state requirements. Every officer bonded for internal theft. You're not covering gaps — we've already covered them.
Four Decades. One Standard.
B.H. Wells founds Metro Security & Detective Agency LLC. Licensed, bonded, and insured from day one. No shortcuts, no exceptions — that was the rule on day one, and it still is.
Metro builds a reputation across Cincinnati the hard way — one reliable shift at a time. Commercial properties, churches, residential communities. Repeat clients, word-of-mouth growth.
BBB A+ Accreditation. Not applied for — earned. Metro becomes one of the few security agencies in Ohio to hold A+ Accreditation with zero complaints on record.
Expansion into Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Georgia. New service lines: executive protection, active shooter training, advanced surveillance. Same founder. Same standards.
