ABOUT VANGUARD

Local expertise. National security standards. Rural community commitment.

Our Story

Founded in 2025, Vanguard Secure Transport was established based on deep firsthand experience in government security and law enforcement. Our leadership includes former Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Homeland Security contractors with high-level security clearances, as well as formally trained law enforcement professionals with extensive expertise in armored courier services and rural threat mitigation.

Our founding team fused tactical knowledge with operational precision to build a company uniquely equipped to meet the demanding security needs of rural America—drawing from direct experience in military installation security, base law enforcement, and emergency response operations.

With a profound understanding of secure logistics, government security protocols, and the challenges faced by remote communities—such as long travel distances and limited emergency infrastructure—Vanguard was designed to provide tailored, disciplined, and discreet transport solutions.

Today, Vanguard proudly serves the heartland region, focusing on Vernon, Bates, and Cass counties, delivering secure transport services specifically crafted for rural environments. We are the trusted security partner for:
