Scope of Services

What OSPG does - and what we do not do.

What we do

  • Vulnerability assessments via on-site walkthrough (SHIELD Assessment)
  • AI-assisted preliminary photo analysis (SHIELD AI)
  • FEMA NSGP grant application support and document generation (PILOT)

  • Threat assessment and incident-response training for staff and volunteers
  • Liaison facilitation between client organizations and local law enforcement
  • Threat-trend briefings for subscribers
  • Custom security curriculum for groups of 10+

What we explicitly do not do

  • Sell, install, monitor, or maintain alarm systems or central-station services
  • Provide armed protection beyond contracted off-duty police details
  • Provide cybersecurity penetration testing or IT security audits
  • Provide background checks or pre-employment screening
  • Conduct private investigations or surveillance of individuals
  • Provide medical, legal, or licensed engineering advice
  • Receive or pay vendor referral fees (we are vendor-agnostic)
  • Provide weapon training or firearms instruction

Active-duty officer authorization

All OSPG work performed by active-duty officers is conducted off-duty under approved extra-duty / outside-employment authorization through their police department, in accordance with applicable Rhode Island General Laws and departmental policy. OSPG is private- sector consulting; it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or undertaken on behalf of any law-enforcement agency.

Engagement structure

Each consulting engagement is governed by a separate written engagement letter. The engagement letter specifies scope, deliverables, timeline, fees, and any exclusions or carve-outs from this general scope. In the event of conflict between this page and your specific engagement letter, the engagement letter controls.

Insurance and bonding

OSPG maintains general liability insurance appropriate to its consulting scope. Off-duty police details are covered under the officer's departmental policies as authorized by their extra-duty authorization. Certificate of insurance available on request for active engagements.

Out of scope: vendor procurement

When SHIELD™ Assessment recommendations require physical hardware (cameras, access control, glazing film, etc.), OSPG provides three competitive vendor options per recommendation. The client contracts directly with chosen vendors. OSPG does not procure, install, or warrant third-party hardware. OSPG does not receive referral fees from any vendor.
