Why work at Talon Protection Group?
Talon Protection Group is not your run of the mill security company. While observe and report is always a staple of the industry, we do much more than that. We are a proactive team that actively strives to better the communities in which we work.
We will provide training at no cost to you. While we do require all candidates to possess their own equipment prior to joining our team, we will provide regular assessments and refreshers to ensure that each officer is certified to use the tools they carry on a daily basis.
Unarmed Security Officers’ pay starts at $22/hr with a current unarmed DPSST certification, $21/hr without a current unarmed DPSST certification. Based on factors including time-in-company and continued good standing, an Unarmed Officer would be able to advance in $1/hr increments until capping out at $28/hr.
Whether you are new to the industry or an experienced officer, we would love to meet with you!
