Rising Force Security, an Orlando-founded security firm, has announced it now serves 117 active clients with more than 500 active officers across Florida. The milestone, achieved seven years after the company's establishment in 2019, highlights the firm's growth strategy rooted in technology-driven accountability and rigorous officer training standards.
From its Orlando headquarters, Rising Force Security has expanded to include offices in Miami and Melbourne, creating a statewide presence capable of serving clients across various industries and regions. The company operates as a technology security company in Orlando, integrating GPS guard tour systems and real-time digital reporting to provide clients with documented, timestamped records of every patrol and post activity. This technological infrastructure addresses a common challenge in the security industry: ensuring that scheduled patrols actually occur as planned, especially for clients managing multiple locations.
The company's growth is supported by its operational standards. Each of its 500-plus officers undergoes a screening process that includes FBI-level background checks and a minimum of 40 hours of pre-deployment training. This training covers post procedures, emergency response, client communication, and technology use, ensuring officers are prepared before they are assigned to any site. Cole Seargeant, CEO of Rising Force Security, emphasized that this standard has been consistent since the company's inception: "Every officer we deploy has cleared FBI-level screening and completed at least 40 hours of training before their first shift. That standard has not changed since we opened in 2019, and it is the reason clients across Florida continue to expand their contracts with us."
The firm's service offerings include unarmed and armed security, fire watch, surveillance operations, virtual guard programs, security consulting, and concierge-style services. This range allows the company to serve commercial properties, residential communities, construction sites, healthcare facilities, and event venues under a single operational structure. The company maintains an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and a 4.9 out of 5 client satisfaction rating, reflecting consistency across its client base.
Rising Force Security's expansion is significant for the security industry in Florida, as it demonstrates the viability of a model that prioritizes accountability and training. The company's GPS guard tour platform and digital reporting dashboards give clients documented confirmation of patrols, reducing reliance on manual logbooks or verbal reports. This is particularly relevant for clients with operations across multiple locations, a growing segment of its clientele.
The company's three-office structure, anchored in Orlando with additional presence in Miami and Melbourne, positions it to respond to client needs along the I-4 corridor, South Florida, and the Space Coast without relying solely on remote management. This local presence is crucial for a security provider that aims to maintain high service standards across geographically dispersed sites.
As Rising Force Security celebrates this milestone, its approach may serve as a model for other security firms looking to scale while maintaining quality. The combination of stringent vetting, training, and technology could become a benchmark for the industry, especially in a state with diverse security needs.
