Titan Protection and Consulting, Inc.

Let me start off with the good. Titan will give you full time work and there are opportunities for overtime. In my experience that is rare with other security companies. If you are willing to work, you will get extra shifts.

Here’s the bad. When you interview the hiring guy pumps you up with all these assignments that you can work. Patrol, driving a car, etc. Every armed person I talked to got sent to the same place, grocery stores or similar posts. Those posts are standing on your feet for 8+ hours straight in one spot in the most dangerous parts of town. Management is often hostile and will turn you in to your company for the slightest infraction. Store employees can be on their phone all shift. One watched an entire chiefs game. But if you get seen texting once throughout that entire shift they are going to tell on you and you will be counseled or written up. I get it we get ain’t paid to be on our phones but it’s hard not to check your texts or emails once throughout an entire shift. Did I mention you are standing the whole time? Nothing to sit on and nothing else to do but watch people come and go. Can’t walk around the store or the parking lot, you need to stand there. You get two ten minute paid breaks but store managers get upset when you take them. Some stores are better then others but some are just terrible places to work. Some you get a camera to watch which makes the day go by a little faster.

Now you can move up and get better posts and sometimes you can get assigned to them randomly where you have a bit more freedom to sit or walk around but those are more rare and you gotta work your way up to them. If you get hired here without a certain job expect to work in a grocery store no if ands or butts. Some people get hired for certain jobs but unless they tell you and give you a specific assignment, you will be in a grocery store , no matter what they tell you. Happens to everyone.

Most supervisors are actually pretty cool and seem to care about you. One isn’t but I didn’t talk to her to much. But there is like one or two supervisors for 50 people working so they barely have time to spend with you. Your training at a post maybe 10 minutes with a supervisor. It might be the guy who you are relieving showing you stuff for 2 minutes while he is trying to go home. You might just get an email with instructions that don’t cover anything. My point is. Don’t expect a lot of help. They are busy. Most are cool but one isnt

Everything you do is for the company. Don’t expect regular days off, your schedule might be different every week. Once I was there for a minute. I seemed to get the same posts and days off. But then they mix it up and would put me on different times and days. They also have problems with giving you a night shift then a morning shift the next day. No sleep for you. If you have a problem with your schedule, don’t bother they will tell you to put a shift you don’t want on the trade board for someone else to help out and pick up for you . No one ever picks up shifts to help you. In my time I tried to get prolly 10 shifts picked up or traded. Not a one got picked up. If you sick good luck, try to call in. Supervisor will tell you to get the shift covered yourself. If you can’t, they act like it’s your fault you’re sick and will make you feel bad. I called in twice in 7 months. Both times they made me feel like I was a huge problem. Also there is no sick time. I think after you been there awhile you get some. But I didn’t get any during my time. Also don’t bother calling the schedule guy about your schedule. He won’t answer if he does you will just get told to work what is assigned or use the trade board. Like I said before if you want hours they are always there. You will always get called on your days off asking if you want to work. So of you want to make the money the hours should be there.

Bottom line the people are decent. Just everyone is stressed and over worked. I didn’t have problems accept when I was sick. They always have shifts to fill and you cause them problems if you can’t fill them. It’s not right but it is the reality of security.

They do train you at headquarters before you go out. You actually spend a week doing that. Never seen that before. My pervious company I got 3 hours of training and it was all videos. Here they have a cop train you. It’s pretty detailed and he’s super cool. You also have to pay for all your stuff. They take it out of your paycheck and you have to give the stuff back. In the end it would be cheaper to buy your stuff, but I didn’t have the money. They tell you that up front. No surprises just wish I didn’t waist money for stuff I didn’t get to keep. They do pay for license and all that, so that’s cool save you a couple hundred.

All in all, if you want to work and didn’t mind standing I can’t see too much bad. Just the schedule is crazy and you don’t get much support once you get to the post

 29.25⭐️ out of 50⭐️

 Below I will talk about important information that you should know about Titan Protection. I will ⭐️ rate with a number 0 out of 5 with 5 being the highest rating as a reference. 

Training, 4⭐️
Titan is the first security company I’ve worked for that gives you classroom training. 
Unfortunately it’s only one week or in my case, four days because of a holiday. If the training was 2 weeks then I feel everybody would be more prepared for the armed security industry. 

Starting Pay, 3⭐️
Starting wage is industry average, you’ll start on the lower side of pay until you get moved to a better paying post. Titan should move to a bi-weekly pay format instead of twice monthly.

PTO (Paid Time Off) 2⭐️
Titan has new hires start accumulating PTO after 90 days. Unfortunately Titan gives out a minimal amount of PTO for our line of work. You earn 40 hours per year but it takes all year to accumulate the time off. You can no longer get your PTO paid out. If your with Titan for 4 years. You will only earn 40 hours per year. Being in this field we should be getting a minimum of 80 hours per year PTO. You get 80 hours per year starting your 5th year. 

401k, 3⭐️
Titan just recently came out with a 401k plan with a generous 3% match according to the company. Unfortunately 3% is below industry average (4-6%) on a plus! Titan uses Vanguard for the 401k and they’re very reputable which is why for the lower match they still get 3⭐️ stars from me. If they used another company the rating would’ve been a 2 star rating. 

Sick pay, 0⭐️
Titan doesn’t offer sick pay and if you become I’ll you have to use the little PTO that you get per year to cover being sick. 

Additional costs to start with Titan, 2⭐️
Additional cost means licensing and renting equipment from Titan. Titan pays for your licensing and fees associated with it. Titan unfortunately charges a lot for equipment including your weapon, duty gear and such. Unfortunately they have since changed the policy that stops charging you for equipment from 2 years. It will charge you and won’t stop charging unless you get off the rental program. If you rent a gun and the gear it will cost you almost $1000 per year in payroll deductions. There is no rent to own. 

Health Benefit, 3.5⭐️
Titan has an alright health package with nation insurance chains. Dental is lacking with only $1000 coverage per year. Vision is ok and the cost for health insurance is ok. 

Management, 4⭐️ 
Titan has done a great job putting the right people in the right management spot. The Chief and Captain care about the company and the officers. Unfortunately they don’t get 5 starts because lack of increase of pay and PTO for promotions unless you get to a salaried position. 

Job Security and advancement, 4⭐️
Security in a whole is a safe industry which you don’t have to worry about becoming non existent. Advancement is definitely possible with Titan. You just gotta do your job and be reliable. Advancement includes better posts which include better pay and or Ranks. 

Work life balance, 4⭐️
Titan does a good job trying to work with everyone’s schedule and not overworking employees unless they want OT. 


In the End Titan is an above average company which only needs to improve a little in the PTO accrual, 401k match and add something for sick time or add rent to own equipment. and then Titan literally gets into a higher tier ranking. 


I worked out of the Omaha branch of Titan.  I have never been to the Kansas City office or seen how things operate there.  I, unfortunately, was only with Titan for less than 2 months due to issues I was having with Titan caused by mismanagement and low pay. I wholeheartedly feel that Titan is a good company with good bones. I feel they moved into the Omaha market un-prepared and not very motivated to stay.  There is no supervisor in the Omaha branch therefore all questions, scheduling, training, HR, etc. is done out of the Kansas City office. This causes a lot of issues.  If you need time off, call Kansas City. If you have a question regarding a post and need immediate assistance, call Kansas City. The issue with this is the many times that I had called the on-duty Lieutenant to get the assistance they never answered. Leaving me to resort to my knowledge and skills to solve the problem.  I believe that if Titan where to set up the proper staffing and command structure in Omaha than things would be great! In a perfect world here is how I envision that. 


Lieutenant - One Lieutenant overseeing all of Omaha's Operations. Who travels to Kansas City weekly to be the lifeline between Kansas City and Omaha to ensure operational needs are met as well as ensuring company culture, policies, and procedures are being maintained at the same rate as Kansas City. The Lieutenant would also serve as the point of contact for Omaha clients. The Lieutenant would also be responsible for conduction orientation and onboarding for all new hires in the Omaha branch.

Sergeant - Two Sergeants, one for the day shift and one for the night shift to answer any questions officers have or to assist Officers with any questions that may arise while on duty.  The Sergeants will oversee all field training for new officers when arriving to post.

Officer - Works as a general security officer under the direction of the Omaha chain of command.


This chain of command would help Titan function tremendously.  Having this in place would also allow Titan the opportunity to expand drastically in the Omaha market.  The lack of oversight is very visible due to the lack of accountability on part of the officers. Officers are consistently out of protocol regarding appearance and protocol because the know there is no one above them in the Omaha area. The closest supervisor is three hours away so the officers know that there will be a site check or inspection of any kind. I am leaving Titan Protection & Consulting on May 2nd and I hope that this command structure is implemented and I can one day change this review to a more positive one as a member of said command structure. Thank you Titan Protection and Consulting for the opportunity to be a member of your team.

Titan is a good company to work for if you have no prior experience in anything related to this field of work, they will hire on just about anyone. They dont help pay any cost if and when you get insurence from them, they do play favorites in terms of the SGTs and CPLs favoring specific employees under them. In half a years time here i have yet to meet the Captian of Field Operations or even see him during the first week you spend "training". In this first week training, you have 4 hours per day with a day off midweek. The self defence/baton and cuffing day is so basic, ive learned more from  youtube. If you habr to use a personal cellphone to contact dispatch, they act as if you are bothering them, or wasting time. The company store can order just about ANY firearm or piece of duty equipment, but expect to pay more than you would if you simply ordered it yourself WITH one day shipping. Now, for the patrol guys and on-sife officers? They are the guys n gals that make the job fun, and if you need to have some backup or support when dealing with an issue? There are 2 patrol guys there within minutes, and more on their way until told not to come. They will always have on-site officers back. You get to see all of Kansas City in its nicest and classiest areas of the city, and all of the questionable places that you wonder if you should even be here at night. And most of the time in the good places, bad places, and everywhre inbetween, most of the time, everyone had huge respect for you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The whole team/organization they conduct their selfs in a very professional manner, your chain of commands meaning your captains, your sergeant, your lieutenants., they are all very knowledgeable and willing to past knowledge to you about your site They pretty much there for you. I have no complaints about Titan protection and consulting it’s just like any other job you do what’s called of you. You have no problems. If you’re  slacker. a procrastinator, you’re late you will be reprimanded. I respect that,  early as on time on time is late., that’s how this company orchestrates and that’s what they believe in as well as I do and they also believe in safety no matter what I respect that, because it can get dangerous in this field of work, so know they will back you up.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stress is in the eyes of the person feeling it, right now I can’t speak on it because I don’t feel stress yet, it may happen and it may not. That all depends on the person and situation at hand. So with that being said I have nothing stressful to share on it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All depends on the site every site is different never a dull day. Family & Team environment here at Titan Protection & Consulting.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Enjoyable to me, never a dull moment it’s always something, but that my experience, every site has its ups & downs.

When I started with this company, it was easy to get ahold of a supervisor.  It was easy to get a problem resolved, modify my schedule for personal issues, and posts were reliable and raises were fair.  By now the company has begun falling to pieces.  Supervisors never know what is happening at a post if not told directly.  Guards are not kept informed of events or changes in a timely and informative manner.  Pay rates are going down, not up.  

It feels like a very "Pass the buck" atmosphere, with everyone handing problems to whoever comes on next instead of ever fixing them. This is especially true with supervisors it seems.  Vehicles are never kept in good condition or fixed in a timely manner at on-sites.  Some supervisors try, others do not, and it's nearly impossible to actually be sure which is which.

Titan has an obsession with seeking out the latest security and work tech and apps and implementing them before they are fully tested and ready.  Clock in/out procedures especially have been adversely affected lately.

Ive waited for my 90 day probation period to be up before doing this review. Now here is what I do know. There was a week of great training. No other company does this. At the end of that week and you get issued 1 shirt, 1 pants and what ever duty gear you may need, which is a lease deal and not a purchase you can complete a positive review and get a free "pen style" handcuff key! During this training you are told you are not just left out there, yes you are. I have not seen a supervisor in my 90 days. You are told an FTO will be frequently checking up on you during this time. Nope. For me those are pluses though. You are a body in a hole. Doesnt matter your experience, training or abilities. Overall Titan is a great place to work. If you are wanting to move on to a police job, its great to start out. If you are retired, its still a good place. Pick you posts wisely. As compared to other security companies its the tops. There are numerous opportunities to work overtime some even if you choose to. At my start date you had to be clean shaven, no mustache or beard. Not even allowed for religious beliefs but that has been lifted if client approves.

Titan was a good spot to start out. After only a few months I had moved up to a management role and now work as a police officer with one of the largest cities around. I constantly got training which led me to getting hired on sooner and faster with a police department. Though I used Titan to move on to another career I highly recommend Titan to anyone even looking to get their foot into any type of law enforcement or a great long term spot with a credible "Not BS" security company. Titan only employees the best so if you want to work there please make them look good. The best part of this job is that there is always potential and options to move. You are never stuck at one location like traditional security. Titan had over 300 sites around KC when I was there so I am sure they are still up and coming. I highly recommend Titan as an employer.

 I recently completed the Titan Security training program, and I can confidently say that it was an excellent experience. The course was well-structured, highly informative, and delivered in a professional classroom setting. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided real-world insights that enhanced the learning process.

The training covered essential security principles with a strong emphasis on practical applications, ensuring that participants gained both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills. The materials were comprehensive, and the sessions were engaging, making complex topics easy to understand.

Overall, Titan Security provided a top-tier training experience, equipping me with the knowledge and confidence to handle security responsibilities effectively. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to advance their skills in the security field.

I loved working at Titan! I worked there for a good, long time and I can say for sure that the majority of management really, truly cares about the well being of their officers!

It was pretty common that someone would stick around for a few minutes after post to shoot the breeze, and to inform their relief as to any pertinent info from the course of the day. Everyone that had made it through their first couple months in this industry could empathize with each other and knew what kind of challenges the work day could bring with it, meaning that most of your senior coworkers would be able to tell you all sort of stories and teach you all sorts of lessons through their experience.

All in all, I only left for life reasons. 10/10 would work with Titan again if it became viable!
