Our Journey

Echelon was founded in the City of Portland, Oregon. In the late 2000’s owners of Echelon began observing the needs of business owners and the community around us. In 2018, they began to formulate a new business model for security in the modern age. In 2019, Echelon was formed into a proactive and results based company to combat the complex problems facing you. Our owner group is comprised of members with local and federal law enforcement skills ranging from: S.W.A.T., K.9., narcotics, military, and anti-terrorism.​

At Echelon, our passion and what gets us out of bed every morning, is knowing we can make a difference in the lives of those around us. We don’t sell our customers touches or hours worked, we sell results. Our owners saw a need by actually listening to the frustrated business owners who have been told one thing, but received another. We believe in a holistic community oriented security with a proactive approach. We believe in exceeding your expectations, not just completing tasks.​

In summary, what makes us different? Simply put, we exceed the expectations of our customers.
