In the fast-paced world of security, reliability is everything. For Hayson Tasher, founder of Old Patrolman Guard Services (OLDPGS), security isn’t just a business—it’s a lifelong commitment. From working at top entertainment venues to protecting businesses through economic downturns, OLDPGS has stood as a pillar of trust and quality control. Now, with the acquisition of Sanco Records and plans to launch a sister event security firm, Tasher is taking his vision to the next level.
Hayson Tasher’s leadership journey began early—in the 6th grade. As both school safety officer and school president, he quickly learned the importance of responsibility and organization. One defining moment came when Mr. T visited his school for a scripted performance, instructing him to “play dead” in front of his peers. That moment sparked something within him—a realization that safety, control, and preparedness were critical in all aspects of life.
That early passion translated into his professional life, leading to the formation of OLDPGS, which started at Hollywood’s iconic venues, including The Fonda Theatre, El Rey Theatre, and The Roxy. Back then, OLDPGS was just Tasher himself, working alongside house security teams at major shows. From Tom Petty to XXXTentacion, Mavis Staples, Rich Homie Quan, Chloe x Halle, and Willow Smith, Tasher provided top-tier security, ensuring smooth and safe events.
Security is a business that never sleeps, but it’s not without obstacles. The COVID-19 recession hit many industries hard, shutting down venues and businesses. Yet, OLDPGS remained essential, standing ready for on-call security services while many clients shut their doors.
What sets Tasher apart is quality control. In an industry where cutting corners can lead to disaster, he follows the advice of his mother: “No half-ass job. Do your best.”
Now, Tasher is setting his sights on a bold expansion—the acquisition of Sanco Records and the launch of a sister event security firm. This move will allow OLDPGS to diversify into entertainment security on a larger scale, combining event expertise with top-tier protection.
Hayson Tasher’s mission isn’t just about security—it’s about opportunity. He hopes to inspire others by creating jobs and ensuring safety in entertainment and beyond. The future of OLDPGS includes retail locations selling branded security gear, from uniforms and batons to firearms and security cameras. With expanded event security operations, Tasher is ensuring seamless protection for high-profile events while reinforcing the company’s motto: “Security You Can Count On.”
With his relentless drive and commitment to quality, Hayson Tasher is proving that in security—and in business—opportunity is the key.
