At Templar Strategic Solutions, leadership isn’t just a title — it’s how we operate. Our company was founded and is actively managed by experienced professionals with decades of combined service in law enforcement, private security, and investigations. Every client account is overseen directly by our leadership team, not buried in layers of office staff, ensuring that each project receives the highest level of attention, accountability, and professionalism. This hands-on approach drives our mission to provide reliable, well-trained officers and tailored solutions that deliver true peace of mind.
At Templar Strategic Solutions, our strength lies in our people. From highly trained Security Officers and Supervisors to skilled Private Investigators and dedicated Patrol Teams, every member of our organization plays a vital role in protecting our clients. Our officers undergo rigorous training, continuous development, and direct oversight from seasoned leadership to ensure they perform with professionalism and confidence. Whether providing static security at healthcare facilities, conducting sensitive investigations, or safeguarding large-scale events, our team brings discipline, integrity, and commitment to every assignment. Together, we uphold one standard: exceptional service tailored to the unique needs of every client.
Templar Strategic Solutions delivers a full spectrum of professional security and investigative services across West Virginia and Kentucky. Our offerings include uniformed security for industrial, healthcare, and commercial sites; event and venue protection; 24/7 static and mobile patrol coverage; and licensed private investigative services supporting insurance companies, attorneys, and private citizens.

Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Spencer, West Virginia, Templar Strategic Solutions, LLC was built on a vision of raising the standard for private security and investigative services across Appalachia and beyond. Our leadership team brings together more than 50 years of combined experience in law enforcement, private sector security, investigations, and corporate leadership—experience that directly shapes the professionalism and reliability of our services today.
From the beginning, Templar has focused on two guiding principles: leadership-driven accountability and a client-first approach. Unlike firms that delegate oversight to office staff, our contracts are actively managed by senior leadership to ensure clients of all sizes receive personal attention and consistent results.
Our growth has been fueled by trust and performance. We have provided round-the-clock security coverage for healthcare facilities, commercial construction industry operations, residential complexes, and special events, while our investigative services have assisted insurance providers, law firms, and private citizens in matters ranging from workers’ compensation claims to civil, criminal, and family law disputes.
Every service we provide is reinforced by our commitment to well-trained, fairly compensated officers, because we know that investment in people translates into better outcomes for clients. Today, Templar Strategic Solutions continues to expand, building a reputation as a dependable, professional partner dedicated to one mission: YOUR peace of mind.
