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 (PRAESIDIUM)
  • FEMA NSGP grant application support and document generation (PILOT)
  • Security details staffed by vetted retired law enforcement and military veterans (active-duty officers are never assigned to private detail work)
  • 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 veteran-staffed details
  • Use active-duty law enforcement officers to staff private security details (founders included)
  • 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

Founder role boundary

OSPG is co-founded by two active-duty Cranston Police Department officers. Their work for OSPG is limited to consulting activities - vulnerability assessments, written reports, training delivery, program design, and grant-application advisory - conducted off-duty under approved extra-duty / outside-employment authorization in accordance with applicable Rhode Island General Laws and departmental policy. Active-duty officers, including OSPG founders, are never assigned to private security detail or guard work. OSPG is private-sector consulting; it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or undertaken on behalf of any law-enforcement agency.

Detail staffing model

Physical security details, on-site coverage, event protection, and any uniformed presence are staffed exclusively by retired law enforcement officers and military veterans contracted through OSPG's vetted operator network. Each operator is screened for credentials, prior conduct, and current insurability before being eligible for assignment. The client contracts with OSPG; OSPG dispatches and manages the operator.

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. Veteran-staffed security details are covered under OSPG's commercial security-services policy for the duration of each engagement. 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.
