Discretion Is Part of the Job

In a community like Birmingham, the presence of security needs to feel professional and intentional — not heavy-handed. Our guards are trained to de-escalate situations quietly, manage access without creating confrontational environments, and handle incidents with discretion that protects your reputation as much as your property.

Oakland County Knowledge, Metro Detroit Reach

Metro One Security is headquartered in Oak Park, MI — minutes from Birmingham. Our supervisors are on the road throughout Oakland County daily, which means faster response times and better oversight than a company managing your contract from across the state. We’re close enough to act, and experienced enough to act right.

Fully Licensed and Insured in Michigan

Metro One Security operates under a valid Michigan security company license through LARA. Every guard is individually licensed, background-checked, and trained before their first shift. We carry full general liability insurance and are bonded — requirements that protect you as the client and give you recourse if something goes wrong.

Proven with Major Clients Across Oakland County

We currently hold active contracts with Dearborn Public Schools, BAE Systems, and major construction companies including Gilbane and Michigan CAT. These aren’t one-off jobs — they’re ongoing relationships built on consistent, professional performance. Birmingham businesses get the same quality of service.

Birmingham, MI: Security Considerations by Property Type

Downtown Retail & Restaurants

The Woodward Avenue and Old Woodward corridor sees heavy foot traffic from across Metro Detroit, especially on weekends. Retail loss prevention and event-night security are common needs for businesses in this zone. Metro One provides both uniformed deterrence and plainclothes loss prevention depending on your preference.

Professional Office Buildings

Law firms, financial advisors, medical offices, and corporate suites throughout Birmingham benefit from controlled access and lobby presence — especially during early morning and late evening hours when buildings are partially occupied. We staff front-desk security that also handles visitor check-in and building access protocols.

Special Events

Birmingham hosts a strong calendar of private and community events throughout the year. Metro One Security provides event staff experienced in crowd flow management, access control at entry points, and coordinating with local law enforcement when required.
