Specializing in providing security solutions for small to medium businesses, as well as individuals who feel an escalated need for personal safety, Barton Security installs and monitors security systems, as well as providing trained security forces for hire (often ex-police or military) for asset protection purposes. They are occasionally contracted for municipal service in unstable regions where a military presence is not desired, but police presence has been stretched to its limits.
Barton Security is a good example of how the security market has developed to the point where the lines blur with private military contractor (PMC) agencies. While most high-end corporates maintain their own private armies, Barton Security often acts as the primary source of security equipment and personnel for many localized businesses, and some small towns, and they do their job well and efficiently. However, those in the know realize that their logo on a town means you can get away with a lot more, as they only have corporate law enforcement powers.
Most corporations with significant global clout maintain, train, and outfit their own internal security forces, but for those who need skilled personnel now, are too small to maintain a standing security force, or can't use their own employees for whatever reason, Barton Security is a good choice. They are not, however, a criminal organization, and will cooperate with law enforcement when necessary; this means that a surprise police raid may be delayed, but will not be violently fought off, and those utilizing Barton Security services should plan accordingly.
Aside from staffing, Barton also offers a variety of security solutions, as well as installation, maintenance, and/or operation of these solutions.
