Orion Protective Services Launches Initiative Sponsoring Veterans' Path to Security Careers

EAST WINDSOR, Conn. - March 25, 2025 - PRLog -- Orion Protective Services, a leader in the security industry, is proud to announce an innovative new program to support active-duty military members and recent veterans' transition to civilian careers as security guards.

According to Orion's President and CEO Edward Ramsdell, "We recognize the immense value that military experience brings to the security field. The discipline, leadership skills, and commitment to teamwork that active-duty soldiers and veterans have make them ideal candidates for roles at Orion Protective Services."

To ease the financial burden of becoming a licensed security guard, Orion's sponsorship program will cover key application costs, including fingerprinting, state and FBI background checks, and passport photos - expenses that can total over $120 per applicant in Connecticut. In Massachusetts, Orion will fully fund the CORI background check process for active-duty and veteran applicants.

The Orion sponsorship program will align with existing state procedures, which require that the veteran be honorably discharged within the last two years to qualify. It is designed for those who work for Orion Protective Services for three months or more.

"We are immensely grateful for the sacrifices made by our service members, and this program is our way of tangibly expressing that gratitude," said Ramsdell. "This is about more than recruiting top talent - it's about investing in those who have made sacrifices for our country and helping them successfully transition to the next chapter of their careers."

By eliminating financial hurdles, Orion Protective Services is opening doors to rewarding security careers and setting an example of how businesses can support and empower deserving servicemen and women.
