Protecting your safety in Virginia requires more than basic measures. At Personal Protection Solutions, we offer top-tier services designed to meet your specific security needs, whether you’re based in the federal corridor of Northern Virginia or along the Hampton Roads waterfront.
About Virginia
Virginia is a state of real contrasts, from the dense federal and defense corridor around Arlington and Alexandria to the naval and shipping hub of Hampton Roads to the quieter rural counties further south and west. Each region carries a different security profile, and we build our plans around the specific area a client actually lives, works, or travels in rather than a single statewide template.
Virginia Security Licensing
Private security services in Virginia are regulated by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services under the Private Security Services Act, Code of Virginia Section 9.1 138 et seq. Businesses providing contract security officers, personal protection specialists, or private investigative services must hold a DCJS Private Security Services Business license in the applicable category, maintain a designated compliance agent, and carry minimum liability insurance.
Individual personnel must hold the corresponding DCJS registration and complete fingerprint-based background checks. Personal Protection Solutions operates in full compliance with these requirements.

Virginia’s Security Landscape
Virginia’s security considerations vary sharply by region. Northern Virginia, including Arlington, Alexandria, and the surrounding counties, holds one of the highest concentrations of federal agencies and defense and government contractors in the country, driven largely by proximity to the Pentagon and other federal installations. That concentration creates real confidentiality and executive protection needs that go beyond a typical corporate security posture.
Hampton Roads presents a different picture. The region is home to major military installations, including the world’s largest naval base, which shapes both the local economy and the security expectations of residents and visitors. Crime trends across Hampton Roads have also diverged sharply by city in recent data. Norfolk has reported a notably higher overall crime rate than neighboring Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, even as violent crime has trended downward across all three cities in recent reporting. That unevenness is exactly why a security plan built for one Hampton Roads city doesn’t automatically transfer to the next one over.
