Protection Services
LAPA provides a range of protection services tailored to the specific needs and conditions of each environment we serve.
In addition to mobile patrol and site monitoring, our services support:
• Events
• Workplaces
• Hotels
• Residential communities
• Executive and VIP assignments (where authorized)
• Fire watch and emergency coverage
Our focus is to deliver dependable security presence through structured oversight, clear reporting, and disciplined execution — always within the legal authority and scope of the assignment.
Armed/Unarmed Personnel
Armed and unarmed personnel each serve a defined role in supporting safety, stability, and peace of mind. At LAPA, assignments are determined by the environment, legal authority, and the specific scope of responsibility required.
Armed personnel are utilized only where legally authorized and appropriate for the assignment. Their role is centered on visible deterrence, controlled presence, and disciplined adherence to policy, typically in environments that require an elevated security posture due to risk profile or sensitivity.
Unarmed personnel are well-suited for lower-risk environments where safety is maintained through visibility, observation, reporting, and professional engagement. They provide consistent presence and oversight while supporting a calm, secure atmosphere.
Whether armed or unarmed, every LAPA officer operates with discipline, restraint, and respect for legal authority — delivering protection through preparedness, professionalism, and care.
Personal Protection
Every individual’s safety needs are different — and we treat them that way.
At LAPA, we work closely with each client to develop a customized personal protection plan that addresses their specific concerns, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Our highly trained team is equipped with the skills, tools, and instincts necessary to provide discreet, professional, and comprehensive protection.
We utilize a combination of physical security, access control, surveillance, and real-time threat assessment to identify risks and neutralize them before they become problems.
Whether you’re in transit, at home, at an event, or on the move — our goal is to create a secure environment that lets you live and operate with total peace of mind.
Event Coverage
LAPA brings extensive experience supporting security operations for both public and private events throughout the DC Metropolitan area.
Our event coverage services focus on visibility, organization, and coordination, including:
• Monitoring restricted access areas
• Crowd flow monitoring and attendee awareness
• Incident observation, documentation, and notification
• Evacuation planning support and coordination
• Oversight of approved cash or asset movement, where applicable
For larger or higher-profile events, we coordinate with venue leadership and local authorities as required to support clear communication and unified response protocols.
Whether supporting a corporate function, festival, concert, or private gathering, LAPA’s goal is to help events operate smoothly through structured presence, clear reporting, and disciplined execution — from start to finish.

Workplace Protection
LAPA supports workplace safety through a structured approach that emphasizes prevention, preparedness, and responsible presence.
Our workplace protection services include:
• Crisis preparedness and response planning support
• Workplace violence prevention awareness
• Guidance for managing high-tension or sensitive environments
• Risk observation, documentation, and escalation protocols
When appropriate, we also support employee transitions or separations by providing professional presence and coordination to help maintain calm, order, and safety during sensitive situations.
Our objective is to help organizations maintain stable, secure workplaces where employees can focus on productivity and well-being — supported by clarity, consistency, and respect for defined authority.
Fire Watch
A fire watch is a critical, temporary safety measure used to protect life and property in buildings or structures facing hazardous conditions.
When a fire alarm system is down, repairs are underway, or fire risk is elevated, a fire watch ensures continued occupancy without compromising safety.
LAPA’s fire watch officers are trained to:
• Routinely inspect all areas of the property
• Identify early signs of fire or life safety emergencies
• Immediately alert 911 and building occupants when action is needed
This service is corrective, proactive, and essential to maintaining compliance and peace of mind during high-risk periods.
Hotel Protection
LAPA is committed to supporting safe, welcoming environments for both hotel guests and staff.
Our Hotel Safety Program is built on proactive planning, hands-on preparation, and close collaboration with hotel leadership and on-site teams. The focus is on visibility, awareness, and consistency — ensuring safety measures complement, rather than disrupt, the guest experience.
Our personnel serve as public safety ambassadors, maintaining a professional presence that supports your property’s standards for service, discretion, and care.
We view safety as a shared responsibility. By working alongside hotel management, we help establish daily practices that reduce liability, prevent incidents, and protect people and property — all within clearly defined authority.
Through teamwork, accountability, and disciplined execution, LAPA helps create hospitality environments where safety and service operate in balance.

• Scalable solutions designed to grow with operational needs
Our surveillance solutions are designed to enhance visibility, support documentation, and strengthen situational awareness — helping organizations make informed decisions while maintaining privacy, compliance, and reliability.
Residential Protection
LAPA understands that home is more than a place — it is where families live, routines form, and peace of mind matters most. That is why our residential services are designed to be both personal and professional.
We support single-family homes, high-rise residences, and gated communities with tailored security plans that emphasize safety, comfort, and consistent presence. Each environment is approached with care, discretion, and respect for the community it serves.
Our residential services may include:
• Visible patrol presence and routine monitoring
