The Team
Team Members
The K17 management team, instructors and consultants are all highly skilled professionals. Their level of education, ongoing training and real world experience are unique even when compared to other security professionals. The K17 owner and management team are current sworn police officers assigned to specialized roles within local departments. These include Special Operations Division, Special Investigative Division and roles specifically focused on proactively keeping people safe. This ensures that our management team is current and up to date on the latest security knowledge available and provides many real world opportunities for application of that knowledge. Additionally, we have non-police administrative staff to assist with any day-to-day needs.
Since 2014, K17 Security has actively participated in Operation Hire Maryland. The mission of Operation Hire Maryland is to create an ongoing program which supports employers as they develop or expand upon their veteran hiring and retention initiatives. A large percentage of our team are US military combat veterans. Not only do we employ these veterans, many of which have sacrificed a great deal to protect our nation, but we do so in a manner we can be proud of.
