OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Before the software,
there was the standard.

Veterans Security Group was founded in 2011 specifically to protect Oregon’s cannabis industry. Its founder—a United States Air Force veteran, firefighter, rescue technician, and RED HORSE combat defense team member—brought military discipline to civilian protection and built the company around the operational realities of licensed cannabis businesses.

The statements beside this describe VSG’s approach to asset protection, safety planning, and inspection readiness.

“WE DON’T RISE TO THE OCCASION. WE PREPARE FOR IT.”

OPERATIONS + ASSETS

Protecting client operations and critical assets since 2011.

SAFETY + PROTECTION

Safety-first planning, disciplined execution, and professional protection.

INSPECTION READINESS

Supporting Oregon cannabis operators with stronger inspection readiness, documentation, and security discipline.

VSG-OS-001 | SINCE 2014

I first met Garrit with Veterans Security Group in October 2014. The cannabis industry in Oregon is ever-changing with rules, regulations, and compliance. We were fortunate to have met Garrit when we did. He worked countless hours under tight deadlines to always make sure we were compliant. He has cared for our business as if it was his. Garrit has always been fair with pricing and explains what, why, and how services are provided. I highly recommend Garrit and Veterans Security Group for anyone who has needs within the security realm.

VSG understands our operation, not just our security equipment. Garrit has become someone I can call when we need to solve a security or operational problem, and I know the recommendation will be based on what actually makes sense for our business. That kind of trusted relationship is hard to replace.
