What Makes a Licensed Agency Different

Licensed, bonded, and insured — Metro operates under strict regulatory oversight. Every officer is state-certified, and we go beyond the license requirements with site-trained flex teams, 24/7 supervisor access, and verified patrol reports.

Your officer won't be a stranger

If your regular officer calls off, the replacement already knows your building — our flex team trains on your site before they're ever needed.

You can reach management at 2 AM

Our dispatch connects directly to Metro supervisors — not a call center, not a voicemail.

Every patrol is verified

GPS tracking, checkpoint scans, daily reports. You don't have to wonder if your officer is working.

Your facility is reviewed weekly

Operations managers visit active sites to catch issues before they become problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if my security officer calls in sick?
We operate site-trained flex teams. Before your primary officer is ever assigned, a backup officer completes full training on your facility — layout, access procedures, emergency protocols. If someone calls off, the replacement already knows your building. You're never left uncovered.
Can I reach Metro management after hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 dispatch line connects to Metro supervisors directly — not a call center, not a voicemail. If there's a problem at 2 AM, you talk to someone who can make decisions and deploy personnel.
How do I know my officer is actually working their shift?
Every patrol is GPS-tracked with checkpoint scanning. You receive daily activity reports with timestamps and photos. Operations managers also conduct random site inspections. You're not relying on a signed logbook.
Are your officers trained and certified?
Every Metro officer holds current Ohio state certification, which covers use-of-force law, emergency response, and professional conduct. That's before they receive site-specific training on your property. We exceed state minimums — not because we have to, but because your safety depends on it.
