About Citadel Security Services

Citadel Security Services, LLC, was launched in May 2006 after co-owner Chris Sawyer decided there was a great opportunity for a new security services provider that focused on providing superior services by setting higher standards for security officers, implementing extensive screening, training and continued professional development of officers and increasing client contact to ttain common goals of safety and security.

While providing exceptional service to clients and meaningful employment for our officers with opportunities for career development, Citadel also endeavors to remain active in the community through participation in charity events and organizations such as IREM, BOMA, and ASIS International.

Markets served
Primarily Nashville, Memphis, Clarksville, Knoxville and Chattanooga. However, Citadel is able and willing to move into any new market area as our stategic partners.
