This company was recommended to us by a friend who knew someone who used them before. They provided close protection for our VIP in Tampa and Sarasota, and it was, by far, the best experience I’ve had with a security company! We even met the owner, who came by to check on his staff, which says a lot about their accountability. They ended up providing driving services and protection for us. More...

I was originally looking for a limo service and came across these guys. When I called, the rep explained that they offer premium transportation but use SUVs instead of traditional limos. Honestly, I wasn’t too crazy about the idea of a limo to begin with, so that actually worked out even better. What really stood out is that the driver was also a security officer, which gave me a better feeling since I had a bunch of stops to make and wasn’t familiar with the area. They didn’t even charge extra for my two guests, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The service was solid and booking was Easy ttoo. Overall super easy to work with. The driver opened doors for us, and the ride was smooth behind the wheel, and never made us feel rushed. In the end, it was way better than a limo experience. They were super straight and on point.

This company provided protection and driving services for my elderly parents and their dog, driving them from West Palm to Jacksonville to a family gathering and then back home four days later as they came back safely yesterday. I couldn’t have been more impressed. The team was polite, easy to talk to, and super helpful, especially with assisting my parents in and out of the truck (they even had a step to make it easier!). They were on time, safe drivers, and made my parents feel comfortable the entire trip while playing their fav music. Thank you again for taking such great care of them More...

Thank you to TakePoint Securit for providing outstanding service during our family’s move-out. We had aggressive and disturbing neighbors, but Lee and his team ensured everything went smoothly and safely once the sheriff left. They handled everything perfect from providing security throughout the move to helping with simple tasks like opening doors for buyers responding to our Facebook listings. They even stayed until the U-Haul was packed and we were completely safe. We couldn’t have asked for better protection or peace of mind during a stressful time. 🙏🏼 More...

TakePoint has been great for our warehouse of over 30 loading docks. Sadly we've had issues before them coming on board. They have four of their officers on site and they’ve done an awesome job, always on time, and easy to work with. The owner even stops by from time to time and honestly since they came on board, we haven’t had any issues!! We recommend them if you need good security without the distractions. More...

Mr. M Young CPA

We needed close protection for one of our senior VPs and reached out to a few companies. This company was the first to respond, and right from the start, they stood out.
The rep was super polite, and didn’t pressure us at all, unlike some of the others we spoke to. Their proposal was hands down the best, and after reading their reviews, we felt confident in our decision. Our VPsaid the bodyguards were amazing but not just in terms of security but in the way they supported our him. They opened doors, made great food recommendations, acted as a go-between when needed, and were always on point and ready.
They seemed to take their job very seriously, and made it look effortless. I didn’t get a chance to meet the owner, but kudos to him for running such a legit company. If you are in need of corporate security, who Obviously truly cares, About the way, they look, as they had on suits and the service they give this is the company to go with!!!

As someone who had never used security services before, I was initially hesitant. However, after speaking with Leo, he reassured me that the process would be seamless and wouldn’t disrupt my daily activities. After receiving a few threats before an important corporate meeting, I knew I needed professional protection. I trusted what he said and decided to hire their service and I’m so gratefu I did. Just knowing that trained professionals were watching my back allowed me to focus on what I needed to do without worry.The crazy thing was, I contacted them just a day before my meeting. Leo initially mentioned a last-minute servic fee, but after hearing about my situation, the owner personally waived it and showed up himself. That kind of customer care for me speaks volumes but what impressed me most was the team assigned to me were ex-military combat vets which gave me confidence that they were well-equipped to handle any worst-case scenario. Their expertise and presence provided an incredible sense of security 🙏 More...

I was receiving threats about our court appearance and decided to hire security and was recommend to call Takepoint. We’re so glad we did.
From the start they were very polite, even from the initial conversation. They were always on time each day, and attentive to our safety and our special requests.
Not only did they provide top-level security, but they also went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It honestly felt like we had our own concierge service, not just security. They handled everything smoothly, and they were easy to talk to which gave us peace during a stressful time. You can tell from their other reviews that they’re the best at what they do, and we can absolutely confirm that.

From the moment I spoke with this company on the phone, I felt a genuine sense of honesty and clarity. They really gave me a good vibe right from the start, and their quality of work reflected that sentiment even more. I was pleasantly surprised when three different team members worked on my site, all being consistent and to top it off, the owner even dropped by to lend a hand for a few shifts. It really showed me that they lead by example, and I was impressed by how organized and attentive everyone was. I truly can't thank you all enough for your exceptional service and support. Looking forward to working with again More...

We have been using TakePoint for our condominium complex, and their attention to detail and reliability is unreal. Their security officers are consistently present on time and patrolling everywhere u need them without asking.
They provide a sense of safety for both residents and guests you can tell. Since hiring TakePoint, we have noticed a huge drop in security concerns, and their approach to monitoring the property has been awesome. The team is always courteous, responsive, and quick to address any issues. Whether it involves handling the gates, tenants, patrolling the premises, or responding to issues, they carry out their duties well. We recommend TakePoint Private Security to anyone seeking top security services Especially for their apartments or condos or vacation rental, etc. Their services has us peace of mind, knowing that our community now protected.

TakePoint absolutely nailed it at our event with about 250+ people. From the start, they weexperienced, and easy to work with. We basically told them what we needed, and they handled everything from there. We really just wanted one person at the front checking people in but didn't really kniw where the others should have been, but and they set up the rest. It was one guy outside in the parking lot and a few others positioned perfectly around the venue. Its like they were low-profile but rhen always present. You didn’t really notice them, but at the same time, no matter where you walked, there was an officer nearby. It felt like they were always in the right place at the right time, which was huge, especially since alcohol was involved and things got pretty wild. Despite that, everything stayed totally under control, safe, and fun. If you need a security team that knows exactly what they’re doing, These guys are the truth!!!!!! More...

Sorry delay on this. I needed officers to help stop theft at my construction site and was recommended to call TakePoint. Working with the owner was outstanding, he’s a true gentleman, ex-military, and stands by everything he proposed. He even worked a shift which showed his commitment to me. I ended up working with TakePoint much longer than planned because of their excellent service. Thanks to them, we now have full accountability of all items on site. OORAH!!!!! 🫡 More...

I called TakePoint security to provide security for a two-day conference in Orlando with over 200 attendees, as I’m all about veterans and I wanted to support this company after seeing their reviews. After our conference i was very please how they went over the top . Even the owner was part of the 5-person security team, and it was clear they Knew what they were doing, and that said it a lot. They were very in sync, and highly professional and attentive throughout the entire event. Despite my general instructions to handle the event as they saw fit, they consistently checked in to make sure they were meeting my needs, where I wanted three to be etc.. on top of that , they were impeccably dressed, just as we requested, which added to the overall professionalism of the event. I cannot recommend TakePoint Private Security enough. Theirteamwork, and actions just made them stand out. I am absolutely hiring them again for any future conferences and even my personal security needs. They also informed me that they now offer driving services also More...

What do you love most about your job?
Providing security services allows me to apply the skills I’ve developed to keep my family and friends safe. I enjoy making people feel happy, and that often begins with ensuring they feel secure. When people have a sense of safety, they can focus on their personal and professional lives without the constant worry of harm. I am continually refining my skills to provide a sense of security and confidence, allowing clients to live their lives without constantly looking over their shoulders. At the end of the day, the greatest reward is when a client expresses gratitude for your presence and support.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My family and friends have inspired me over the years to provide security for others based on my background and experiences. In today’s world, where crime and violence continue to escalate, the need for safety and self-protection is more important than ever—it’s a fundamental human right. I felt compelled to dedicate myself to helping others. Life should be about making a positive difference, and if you have the skills to protect and assist those in need, you’re doing the right thing.
