Why People Choose Elite Security & Staffing

When it comes to security and staffing solutions, Elite Security & Staffing stands head and shoulders above the rest. But what truly sets us apart? The answer lies in our unwavering commitment to safety, exceptional service, and trusted expertise. Here’s why clients and communities choose us time and time again.

A Founding Vision Rooted in Service

It all began in 1995, when founders John and Gus Kontopuls, drawing on their combined experience in security, loss prevention, banking, and insurance, saw an opportunity to change the game. Their vision? To transform event security and staffing from simply being vigilant to actively making people feel safer and happier. That early commitment to merging vigilance with guest service remains the cornerstone of our success today.

Law Enforcement Roots, Exceptional Talent

Many of our team members come from law enforcement and public safety backgrounds. Their abilities bring an unmatched depth of understanding and professionalism to every environment we serve. This expertise ensures that we not only safeguard people and property, but do so with a nuanced, proactive approach grounded in real-world experience.

Innovative Training for Real-World Challenges

We invest heavily in designing training programs that equip every team member with cutting-edge skills. From scenario-based conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques to emergency preparedness and state-of-the-art security protocols, our staff are trained to adapt and respond swiftly to evolving threats, always with professionalism and poise.

Comprehensive Solutions for Every Setting

From the moment Elite first opened its doors, we’ve grown beyond event staffing into a full-spectrum provider of security and staffing services. Our offerings now include:

• Security Guards & Patrol
• Concierge Services
• VIP Protection
• Conference & Event Staff

We tailor our approach to suit a wide range of environments, such as corporate offices, residential communities, retail and dining venues, industrial and construction sites, healthcare facilities, schools, houses of worship, hospitality properties, maritime and transportation hubs, sports and entertainment venues, and media or film production sites.

This breadth of service, and our ability to customize solutions, means clients across industries can rely on one trusted provider to cover all their security and staffing needs.

Elite Security & Staffing didn’t stay local for long.
