Maryland is our home state, and it’s also where Personal Protection Solutions was built from the ground up. Our team understands the specific security landscape here, from downtown Baltimore to the federal corridor bordering Washington, and we design our services around what that landscape actually requires rather than a generic package.
About Maryland
Maryland is a state of real contrasts. Baltimore’s urban core, the affluent DC suburbs of Montgomery County, the government heavy corridor around Bethesda and Silver Spring, and the quieter Eastern Shore all carry different security considerations.
A close protection plan built for a Bethesda executive doesn’t look like an estate security plan for a waterfront property on the Eastern Shore, and we treat those as genuinely different assignments rather than the same service with a different address.
Maryland Security Licensing
All security guard services in Maryland are regulated by the Maryland State Police Licensing Division under Title 19 of the state’s Business Occupations and Professions Article.
Individual guards must hold a Security Guard Certification, agencies must hold a Security Guard Agency License, and armed personnel must additionally hold a Maryland handgun wear and carry permit. Personal Protection Solutions operates in full compliance with these requirements.

Maryland’s Security Landscape
Maryland’s economy includes a genuine concentration of defense contractors, federal research institutions, hospitality and pharmaceutical headquarters, and other major corporations, alongside the federal government presence along the DC border. That mix creates a client base with real, elevated security needs, from executive travel and residential protection to enterprise risk management for organizations operating in regulated or high visibility industries.
Maryland also hosts major public events with real security planning implications, most notably the Preakness Stakes and its surrounding Preakness Festival each May, which draws large crowds and high-profile attendees to the Baltimore area and now Laurel Park.
Baltimore has made real, documented progress on violent crime, recording 133 homicides in 2025, its lowest total in nearly fifty years, and the state overall saw a 44 percent drop in homicides between 2022 and 2025. That progress is genuine, but it doesn’t erase the underlying picture. Violent crime in Baltimore still runs meaningfully above the national average in a number of neighborhoods, even as other parts of the city and state, including much of Montgomery County and the Eastern Shore, carry a very different risk profile entirely. This unevenness is exactly why a security plan built for one part of Maryland often doesn’t transfer cleanly to another, and why our assessments start with the specific area a client actually lives, works, or travels in rather than a statewide assumption.
