Professional Security, Not Low-Bid Staffing
Our leadership brings genuine operational experience to the work. Taurus was founded by a former British soldier and a retired Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff, and we are licensed in California under PPO 120624.
Every officer is hand-selected and trained beyond the state standard, then chosen for the ability to blend professionalism with discretion. We built this company on long-term relationships and quiet competence, the kind of security communities, businesses, and families come back to year after year.
Serving the California Central Coast
From our Santa Barbara base, we cover three counties across California's Central Coast, with secondary coverage in Texas.
Texas Coverage
Beyond California, our partner runs security operations across Texas, including Dallas, Frisco, Austin, and San Antonio. See our Texas coverage.
