There is a difference between a guard who carries a firearm and one who has trained with it.
Pilum Tactical
Most security companies hire personnel, verify their state license, and assign them to a post. The license confirms the minimum was met — it says nothing about performance when a situation exceeds that minimum.
Pilum operates differently. Our protection personnel train through Pilum Tactical — a professional training academy built by Marine Corps and Navy SEAL veterans. Before any officer is deployed, they have completed force-on-force drills, live-fire qualification, active shooter response protocols, building clearance procedures, and judgment-based decision-making training under simulated stress.
That training background is not a line on a resume. It is the reason our track record looks the way it does.
Every protection engagement begins with a threat assessment specific to your environment — not a generic staffing plan. Pilum designs protection programs around your industry, your risk profile, and the regulatory environment in your state.
18+ Colorado schools. 18,000+ students daily. Officers trained in active shooter response, de-escalation, and building clearance before their first campus assignment. K-9 vapor wake detection deployed.
Pre-advance, trip advance, physical site advance — the planning framework we teach in our professional training programs, applied in the field by the veterans who developed it.

Every Pilum protection officer trains through an in-house curriculum built by Marine Corps and Navy SEAL veterans — the same instructors who run Pilum Tactical's professional training programs. Our officers complete force-on-force scenario training, live-fire qualification, active shooter response protocols, and judgment-based decision-making drills before their first deployment.
In many cases, yes. As a GSA Schedule holder and SDVOSB, Pilum qualifies for direct procurement through the GSA vehicle and for sole-source awards through the Veterans First Contracting Program. CAGE: 70NP0 | DUNS: 038561624 | UEI: CT74AJ18TUE5 | SAM Registered.
Yes, and the integration is the differentiator. Pilum Defense Agency deploys protection personnel. Pilum Tactical trains security professionals. The same veteran leadership oversees both, meaning deployed officers meet the same professional standard Pilum teaches — a closed loop no staffing company can replicate.
Pilum is headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, at 3595 S. Teller Street. The team maintains rapid deployment capability for both short-notice and long-term assignments, including time-sensitive events such as high-threat terminations, crisis response, and government emergency contracts.
