David Lee has also spent 6 years in the U.S. Army. He has made it his mission to correct the
issues found in large scale security providers by ensuring that the service provided is tailored to
meet all of the clients individual security needs.
The influence for DC Star Security Agency is to provide an individual interest directed toward
each client. We recognize that large providers of security services do not meet individual needs
and operate in an assembly line type fashion. Here, at DC Star Security Agency, we specialize in
working with your business to create an individualized plan to meet your needs.
Our values are to protect, to serve, commit, be loyal, and to be trust worthy allies in meeting
your security goals. We conduct business according to the security officer code of ethics and
take pride in the level of services we provide to our clients.
We are fully licensed and insured up to $1,000,000.00 of liability as well as $1,000,000.00 in
company vehicle coverage and workman’s compensation insurance. We have not had any
claims to this date. We ensure that all federal guidelines are continually met, while working
closely with the National Security Agency and other national affiliates.
We are still a new and mid-sized company that is still growing. We originally began business in
Colorado Springs but are now rapidly expanding to Denver and the surrounding areas.
We currently have 3 field supervisors and 25 security officers at any given time.
DC Star has a very minimal turnover rate.
We require all of our officers to be licensed which requires an extensive background check and a
9 hour security training course. All officers are required to be certified in CPR, First Aid, and Crisis
Prevention (from the Crisis Prevention Institute Inc.). Continuous training is mandated for all
officers employed by DC Star Security Agency. Our employees primarily consist of highly
trained retired police officers and military veterans. These qualities clearly characterize our
strengths and undoubtedly set us apart from the rest.
Our officers are required to call our 24 hour dispatch number at (719)285-5172 for every hour
that they remain on duty. There is always someone available to answer the call.
Field supervisors regularly patrol to ensure that the client’s
needs are adequately met by the officers we assign.
We strongly maintain the readiness of our officers and field supervisors at all times.
