About Us - Act with urgency. Lead with confidence. Be Axis.

---

 ✓ NCS4 & DHS-trained staff — the same standards used at the country's largest venues
✓ Locally owned, PNW-rooted — boutique service, not a national call center
✓ One vendor, complete coverage — staffing, screening, and consulting under one contract 

We staff and secure events of every size and shape across the Pacific Northwest:

• 🎤 Concerts, festivals, and music venues
• 🏟️ Sports, stadiums, and arenas
• 🏢 Corporate events, conferences, and galas
• 🎟️ Private parties, weddings, and VIP functions
• 🎓 Schools, universities, and graduations
• 🎪 Public events, fairs, and community gatherings
• 🏛️ Government facilities and political events

If you're putting it together, we can secure it.

Most security companies do one thing. Axis PNW does fourteen — under one contract, with one point of contact.

Uniformed and plainclothes guards, registration staff, parking attendants, and crowd management. NCS4 and DHS-trained personnel who understand the rhythm of live events.

1. We're boutique by design.
We've grown carefully and strategically — only taking on events, venues, and clients where quality matters. That means more attention, more engagement, and a real partnership.

2. We invest in our people.
Unlike many security companies, Axis PNW doesn't pay minimum wage. Great service starts with great people, and our commitment to competitive pay has earned us an exceptionally low turnover rate. The face you see at your event in May is the same one you'll see in November.

3. We're trained to the highest standards.
Our security staff is trained to NCS4 (National Center for Spectator Sports Safety & Security) and Department of Homeland Security standards — proficient, accountable, and ready.

4. We know the Pacific Northwest.
We know the venues. We know the cities. We know the permitting offices and local PD — because we work alongside them every weekend. National companies can't say the same.

Axis has the largest fleet of Ceia OpenGates on the West Coats.   Modern walk-through magnetometers that screen guests in seconds — no emptying pockets, no bottlenecks. Available across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado, California and Montana. Delivery, setup, and operation included.
