A 50-Year History

Our decorated track record is the result of PalAmerican’s unwavering commitment to our people.

Our Culture

American Growth from our Canadian Roots

When CEO Ashley Cooper first purchased Paladin Security, we consisted of four employees and one contract. In 2016, the brand PalAmerican Security was born, and we launched into the US market. Today, we have over 30,000 employees across North America, we’ve received countless awards, and we secure hundreds of healthcare facilities, post-secondary institutions, commercial buildings and residential communities. We’re proud that many of the clients who have been with us from the start continue to use our services decades later.

Where It All Began

In 1976, Paladin Security was established as a provider of basic security guard services. We have since grown into one of the leading security providers in the US, and have expanded our services across more than 45 states.

We are Most Proud of Our People

Across our years of accolades and expansive growth, Paladin and PalAmerican have always stayed true to our people. From Seattle, WA to Saint Petersburg, FL, our commitment to facilitating a supportive culture where our people can thrive is at the heart of PalAmerican’s operations.
