Hayson Tasher, the United States-based founder and owner of Old Patrolman Guard Services (OLDPGS), has spent years watching the same cycle repeat. “People cheer when minimum wage rises,” he says, “but they fail to realize their bosses’ wages, food, gas, cost-of-living prices, and especially rent will climb right along with it. Shorter work hours become the norm, and rent prices jump so high that workers now need roommates just to survive. In the end they’re stuck in the same position, only worse.” As a hands-on security entrepreneur, Tasher sees this economic reality every day while running armed and unarmed uniformed security officers, alarm response teams, free consultations, and professional investigations.
His own story proves that opportunity is key. Early in his career, Tasher noticed something striking: he already held more licenses, certifications, and permits than the company paying his paycheck. “I had no other choice,” he recalls. “I observed the biggest mistake people in the security field make: working clubs and loss-prevention jobs that will never qualify them to own and operate their own firm. The state simply rejects applications from unlicensed operations. Year after year they waste time while the window closes.”
That realization became the spark for OLDPGS. During a high-level security-detail consultation, a veteran professional who once trained Tasher turned to him for a major client operation and casually called him a “mogul.” At the time Tasher brushed it off, but the label stuck. Today he proudly leads a firm whose tagline is “Security you can count on” and whose mission is “Dedicated to administrating a safe and secure environment.”
What sets Tasher apart from his peers is simple: he never left the field. While many owners sit behind desks, he still personally works and supervises security details on the ground and off. He admires the legacy of the Pinkerton Detective Agency and the original Wells Fargo before it became a bank, brands built on trust, professionalism, and results. OLDPGS follows that tradition but adds modern consultation and management services that clients repeatedly request.
From Field Supervisor to Industry Leader, Seizing Opportunity When Others Stay Stuck
Tasher’s life lesson is blunt and practical: “Reinvest your money into knowledge. Material things don’t get you more money; they take it. More permits and degrees mean more income for you. You can buy the expensive car later.” He urges every security professional to stop waiting and seize the opportunity before another year slips away. “The ones who have had enough will take it and run,” he says.
Looking ahead, Tasher’s vision is bold. He plans to open dedicated security training centers and launch retail locations carrying the OLD PATROLMAN BRAND, tactical boots, uniforms, batons, metal detectors, and more so officers can equip themselves with professional-grade gear under one trusted name. These moves will expand OLDPGS from a service provider to a full-spectrum security solution, strengthening the very industry he has helped professionalize.
Through every challenge, Tasher continues to prove that real security starts with preparation, knowledge, and the courage to act. For businesses and individuals seeking reliable protection, OLDPGS delivers consultation, management, and on-the-ground excellence that clients can count on today and tomorrow.
