I hired Sky Hawk as discreet security for an event and that is exactly what I got. I had a professional guard (Jeff) show up. While he looked the part of security he also just looked like he could also just be another person on site. I felt safe and my guest didn't feel intimidated it was perfect.

We will definitely be calling SkyHawk Protective Services the next time we need a securityguard. Their response time was quick, very punctual the day of event. The securityguard accessed the venue, asked how we would like to see him service the area and made a few very good recommendations that we hadn’t thought of. He was very friendly and even stayed until all the guests left which was longer than we had originally asked. All around this was a very positive experience!

We hired SkyHawk Protective services for a birthday party, and they went above and beyond our expectations. Their officers showed up on time, professional uniformed, and carried themselves with confidence and respect the entire night. They kept the event controlled, and their presence made every guest feel safe and comfortable.
They handled the crowd flow, monitored entrances, and quickly addressed any potential issues before they became problems. Their communication was on point, and you could tell they were highly trained and experienced.
Thanks to their professionalism and attention to detail, our event went exactly as planned with zero complications. I would highly recommend this security company for any private event or celebration.

I had a great experience with Skyhawk Protective Services. The officer arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to gather all relevant details regarding my concerns. Throughout the night, they remained attentive and ensured my safety, giving me peace of mind. Their presence was reassuring, and their professionalism stood out. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable security!

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a current United States Marine Reservist, a former Special Response Team (SRT) member with the Dallas Sheriff’s Department, and have over 10 years of hands-on security experience
I also studied Criminal Justice in college, and all our team members are trained to meet high standards. We’re also certified in CPR and First Aid.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began my career in this field as a correctional officer with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department, where I gained firsthand experience in inmate supervision, conflict de-escalation, and maintaining safety in high-risk environments. I later served in the U.S. Marine Corps, which further strengthened my discipline, situational awareness, and leadership skills. After transitioning to the private sector, I continued building experience in security and protective services, which ultimately led me to establish and grow my own security company, applying both public-sector and military best practices to deliver professional, reliable services.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
One recent project I’m particularly proud of involved stabilizing a high-risk multifamily property that was experiencing recurring criminal activity and safety concerns. We implemented a structured security plan that included dedicated on-site coverage, mobile patrols, detailed reporting, and close coordination with property management and local law enforcement. From initial assessment to full operational deployment, the project took approximately 30 days, with measurable improvements in safety, incident reduction, and overall resident confidence within the first few weeks of service.
