Disclaimer

No professional advice
Information provided by Ocean State Protection Group, including content on this website, AI-generated analysis (SHIELD AI), grant-application assistance (PILOT), and training course material, is for general guidance and educational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, licensed engineering opinion, medical advice, insurance guidance, or financial advice.
On-site walkthrough required for definitive recommendations
Photo-based AI analysis and remote consultation are preliminary tools only. Definitive vulnerability assessments and security recommendations require an on-site walkthrough by qualified personnel and review of your specific operational context. Decisions made solely on the basis of remote analysis are at your own risk.
Not a licensed alarm or guard company
Unless explicitly contracted in a separate signed engagement, Ocean State Protection Group is not a licensed alarm-monitoring company, central station, or guard agency. We provide consulting, assessment, training, and (where contracted) off-duty law-enforcement security details under appropriate departmental authorization. We do not install, monitor, or maintain alarm systems.
Active-duty officer disclosure
Ocean State Protection Group founders are active-duty municipal police officers. All OSPG work is conducted off-duty under approved extra-duty / outside-employment authorization through their department, in accordance with applicable Rhode Island General Laws and departmental policy. OSPG work is private-sector consulting and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or undertaken in the name of any law-enforcement agency.
No guarantee against incidents
Security is probabilistic. No assessment, training, technology, or security detail can guarantee prevention of all incidents. OSPG Protection Group's services are intended to reduce risk and improve preparedness. They do not eliminate it.
Federal grant program guidance
PILOT and OSPG staff provide guidance on the FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program and related federal funding opportunities. Eligibility, deadlines, and requirements are determined by FEMA and State Administrative Agencies (SAAs) - not OSPG. Final applications must be submitted through your state's SAA. Grant rules change; verify current cycle requirements at fema.gov. OSPG does not guarantee award.
AI-generated content limitations
SHIELD AI and PILOT use large language models that occasionally produce errors, omissions, or outdated information. AI output should be verified by a qualified human professional before reliance. AI-generated content is not a substitute for licensed expert review.
Third-party links and content
Our website and tools may reference third-party vendors, products, services, or articles. References are informational only and do not constitute endorsement. We do not receive vendor referral fees on any product recommendations. OSPG is not responsible for third-party content, policies, or practices.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ocean State Protection Group, its founders, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website, our tools, or our services. In no event shall total liability exceed the fees paid by you to OSPG for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.
Updates to this disclaimer
This disclaimer may be updated to reflect changes in our services, regulatory requirements, or legal review. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
