If people, property or an event need protecting, GCR Security Experts are who you want. Since 2004 our clients have ranged from Fortune 500 executives, financial institutions and professional sports organizations to construction sites, churches, hospitals, universities, conventions, law firms, manufacturers and private families.
Protection is the visible part of the work; most of it is risk mitigation that happens first. Every assignment starts with a threat and vulnerability assessment by a Certified Protection Professional, then armed, uniformed or plainclothes personnel matched to the setting.
Armed officers who protect against and reduce the risks to your workplace, facility or event, and to the employees, patrons and assets in it, with responsibilities defined before the first shift.
Protection details for executives, government officials, public figures and private families, built on a threat and vulnerability assessment that mitigates risk before anyone moves.
Armed drivers with law enforcement, emergency-driving and protection experience, in a Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon Denali or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Security assessments and site hardening, policies and crisis plans for corporate, school and residential properties, active shooter and workplace violence training, and firearms instruction for law enforcement, military and armed citizens. Cost-effective recommendations you can act on.

More about private investigationsCompanies, assistants and event planners bring visiting leadership here every week for meetings, conventions, race week and game days. Out-of-state security firms need a licensed local partner they can vouch for. GCR does both, with one named contact.
One call covers the visit from arrival to departure: an officer meeting your guest at the airport, secure transportation between hotel, office and venue, and protection at the meeting or event itself.
Licensed local protection assets for your client’s Indianapolis assignment, vetted and led by a retired IMPD officer and Certified Protection Professional. Discreet coordination with local law enforcement and venues, rapid response when a visit changes, and reporting in the format your operations center needs. Nick Mitchell sets personnel and coordination; Kristi Mitchell handles agreements, documentation and billing.

Three engagements that show how GCR works. Client names withheld.
Airport meet by an armed agent, secure transportation between hotel, headquarters and a downtown dinner, protection at a board meeting and a suite at the Speedway. One team, one named contact, from wheels-down to wheels-up.
Their client’s leadership attended a three-day convention. GCR supplied vetted, licensed local agents, coordinated with venue and hotel security, and reported daily to the firm’s operations center.
Plainclothes armed officers on site for the termination meeting and the two weeks after, an assessment of the facility’s access points, and a response plan the company’s HR team could carry out.
Our drivers are armed, veteran law enforcement officers trained in emergency driving and executive protection. Choose discreet transportation or a visible protective presence, for an Indianapolis visit, a Midwest journey, or coast to coast.
Route selection, arrival arrangements and back-up plans for delays or vehicle issues are set before travel, with the people managing your schedule.
Book secure transportation for the journey, or add executive protection at meetings, appearances and dinners.
Armed escort for valuables, documents and sensitive deliveries, in Indianapolis and beyond.
Secure transportation reduces the ordinary risks of travel, from poor route selection to vehicle failure, as well as theft, robbery and assault. Our drivers give passengers a safe, comfortable environment so they can focus on the business of the day.
Scope, personnel, oversight and communication are agreed before work begins, and you have a named leader for each side of the engagement.

Nick Mitchell, CPP, PPS, PI, assesses the threats and vulnerabilities, then sets personnel, oversight and coordination with your organization, venue or existing security team, and adds security managers when an assignment calls for them.
Kristi Mitchell, MBA, handles the proposal, agreement, documentation and billing, so the business relationship has one accountable contact from start to finish.
GCR was founded in 2004 by a retired Indianapolis police officer and a corporate executive. That pairing still runs every engagement.
