In the United States, our police force is not always quickly available! Our company is there for you, we are a quick response team that creates an individualized plan for your company and or home. We train as much as we can together to be a highly cohesive team and to make sure you are safe. We are trained for all of this; all our employees have unique military backgrounds that we try to tailor fit your situation in protecting you and your family or businesses. During the Minneapolis riots of 2020, we stationed multiple protection agents near small businesses, all with battlefield medical and civilian medical training, to help aid peaceful protesters who were injured all while building a rapport with the community to help them rally and help protect their local family-owned businesses.

Professional and reliable. We had a situation with another tenant in our office building which needed the attention of someone like JomsVikings. We've never had to hire a company like this so I had no idea what to expect. Josh answered all my questions. He followed up with text messages, phone calls and emails. He explained the process in great detail from what we should do, to what we should expect and every aspect that I had no idea about. We worked with Alex and Mike who were both professional and hard working. All of our employees felt much better with them around. If, for whatever reason you find yourself in a position where you need protection and security, call JomsVikings. They are worth every penny spent.

I cannot say enough about how personable, professional, respectful, humane and effective this team is! I worked with them on a complex, outdoor event and they interacted with very diverse people in a direct, pleasant and assertive manner. They followed our directions and also, took a leadership role when they had a better strategy based on their professional experience. I will definitely hire them again and I encourage anyone seeking a responsive, culturally responsive, intelligent and most importantly effective security team to work with this team!

Don’t settle for less than JomsVikings. A company with professionals with relevant experience makes all the difference if real security measures are needed. Your assets, your employees and/or your tenants deserve quality security. You will find that with JomsVikings.

I operate a business in St Paul, MN that was burglarized over Thanksgiving weekend. While we waited on the alarm company to procure the sensors for the system, I hired JomsVikings to patrol / sit on the property. The communication from the principle was professional and proactive. Plus having direct communication with the actual security detail was excellent. JomsViking gave us a piece of mind during some heightened uncertainty. If I ever have another need they’ll be my first call.
