FAQs
About Special Operations Branch
What separates Paladin from all of the other security
companies? Aren’t they pretty much the same?
Security companies
and their services are very different. Some specialize in unarmed
guards like you would find in an office building, while some specialize
in surveillance equipment such as CCTV cameras. Some do home security
systems and still others run security for events, such as concerts.
Paladin offers its own specialized services
as well, but we are unique in that we provide some of the most
highly trained people in the world today to provide these services
or to audit and direct the services of others.
Who are
the SAS?
The British
Special Air Service (SAS) is one of the most elite special operations
groups in existence today and arguably the best-known counter
terrorist organization in the world. (For a more complete history
of the unit, we recommend the website http://britishsas.8m.com/)
SAS personnel have trained and trained with, individuals and teams
from elite organizations such as the Special Forces of Australia
and New Zealand, the US Delta Force, the FBI's Hostage Rescue
Team (HRT), the French GIGN, Germany's GSG-9, and the Royal Dutch
Marines.
If Paladin
only uses the top people, is there a large difference in price?
We believe
that our small size, focused agenda and personal service to our
clients is not only competitively priced, but cost effective as
well. We do not have multiple layers of administration, nor do
we own large office complexes. Therefore, our clients do not pay
for this in addition to the security services they receive.
What happens
if you can’t get the people you need or run short? Will you
use people with lesser qualifications?
Paladin offers
only one level of service and one level of individuals who provide
it. Therefore, we keep our client number small to be able to provide
the quality required.
What are
the areas of security that you do not handle?
There are
many areas of security that we do not directly provide. For instance,
we do not supply home security devices or unarmed guards for buildings.
However, as a service, Paladin will place our clients in contact
with companies that do supply these products, as needed. We will
also audit services currently used by a client and provide executive
oversight of these companies to insure quality control for our
clients.
