Our Beginning
What started as a desperate need quickly became our calling.
— David B. Jarrett
We do not just understand property problems.
We ownerstand them.
In 2007, Ranger Protection Agency was founded by Brian Kelley and the late David Jarrett out of desperation, not inspiration, after years of frustration with local law enforcement and private security companies that, at the time, offered little to no help cleaning up properties they owned, controlled, and managed.
Recognizing the need for a different approach to private security, Brian and David established Ranger Protection Agency with a commitment to proactive patrols, professional officers, and resolving problems rather than simply reporting them.

The Ranger Difference
WE SOLVE PROBLEMS.
NOT JUST REPORT THEM.
Traditional security companies often rely on an "observe and report" approach, documenting problems without taking meaningful action to address them. At Ranger Protection Agency, we believe effective private security requires more than simply recording incidents. Our philosophy is simple: Resolve and Report. Through proactive security patrols, experienced uniformed officers, and a thorough understanding of applicable laws and property regulations, we take appropriate action to address security concerns as they arise. Whether confronting unauthorized activity, addressing trespassing, or responding to recurring property problems, our officers focus on achieving results while maintaining professional standards and accountability.
Over the past two decades, our proactive, results-driven approach has helped propel Ranger Protection Agency to the top of the private security industry, earning a well-respected reputation built on professionalism, accountability, and our commitment to resolving problems rather than simply reporting them.
Over the past two decades, many companies have tried imitating ours, attempting to benefit from the reputation and hard work associated with the Ranger name. If the license number isn't C-13832, It is not the original Ranger!
OFTEN IMITATED.
— Brian Kelley
NEVER DUPLICATED.
Modern Security. Real Accountability.
TECHNOLOGY MEETS
BOOTS ON THE GROUND.
Technology should make security officers more effective, not replace the work they do in the field. At Ranger Protection Agency, we combine experienced uniformed security officers with advanced GPS tracking, geofencing, real-time electronic reporting, and modern communication systems to deliver greater accountability and transparency. Our technology supports proactive security operations, allowing our officers to focus on resolving problems while providing property management with accurate, timely documentation of security activity.
01
24-HOUR RESIDENT HOTLINE
Ranger Protection Agency provides a dedicated 24-hour resident information hotline, allowing residents to report suspicious activity, unauthorized persons, trespassing concerns, and other security-related issues affecting their community.
Our recorded messaging system allows residents to provide information at any hour, even when security officers are actively handling other incidents. Messages are documented and directed to the appropriate Ranger personnel for review and follow-up.
02
REAL-TIME REPORTING
Ranger Protection Agency utilizes Belfry's electronic security reporting platform to document patrol activity, incidents, and property conditions with detailed reports and supporting photographs.
GPS tracking and geofencing provide greater accountability by verifying officer activity at assigned properties. Time-and-date-stamped photographs help ensure accurate documentation, while our secure client portal allows authorized property managers to review security reports, patrol activity, and incident information.
03
FLEXIBLE SECURITY SERVICES
Every property is its own ecosystem, and like any ecosystem, its conditions are constantly changing. Residents come and go, security concerns evolve, and yesterday's solutions may not address tomorrow's problems.
Ranger Protection Agency understands that an effective security program must evolve with those changes. We offer flexible solutions, including daytime mobile patrol, nighttime mobile patrol, and armed and unarmed uniformed security officers. As conditions improve or new challenges arise, we can adjust coverage, increase officer presence, or transition to more cost-effective patrol services to meet each property's changing security needs.
Better tools. Better information.
More time doing the job.
