At Choice One Protection (C1P), sustainability isn’t just about technology and tools—it’s about building a resilient, ethical operation that protects people, invests in employees, and maintains rigorous standards from hiring to daily service. The company’s approach centers on responsible recruitment, verified compliance, and long-term workforce development, creating a stable foundation for clients and communities alike.
Responsible hiring & verified compliance. C1P recruits from trusted pipelines—including referrals, recent academy graduates, law-enforcement networks, and veterans’ organizations—while holding candidates to high qualification thresholds (licensure, age, education, English fluency). Every applicant undergoes comprehensive pre-employment screening through a third-party partner (identity verification, multi-jurisdiction criminal checks, sex-offender registry search, driver’s license verification), followed by a 10-panel drug test with clearly defined cutoff levels. These measures ensure teams are qualified, vetted, and fit for duty before stepping on site.
Ethical growth through retention, recognition, and opportunity. C1P treats retention as the most sustainable form of recruitment. The company maintains a culture of internal promotion, offers a structured referral bonus to bring in qualified peers, and runs a Spotlight program that recognizes and financially rewards outstanding performance—practices that reinforce accountability and morale while reducing turnover risk for clients.
Benefits that support well-being and reliability. To sustain a dependable workforce, C1P provides employer-supported healthcare for full-time staff, tenure-based paid vacation (with client-approved grandfathering during transitions), and secure payroll via direct deposit or paycards—policies designed to boost stability and service consistency on the client’s sites.
Inclusive, modern training at scale. C1P invests in continued education through an online academy with 15,000+ training resources, spanning mental-health awareness, customer service, diversity and inclusion, leadership, and communication skills. Supervisors receive leadership-growth training covering mentoring, risk management, technology implementation, harassment prevention, and cultural sensitivity—ensuring professionalism and respect are embedded in daily operations.
Quality control and continuous improvement. Sustainability also means consistency. C1P pairs a structured start-up plan with ongoing quality control and compliance reviews, ensuring post orders, reporting, and technology use are followed and refined over time. The company’s standardized protocols and incident-reporting framework (with guided “who/what/where/when/why,” photo/video attachments, and statistical dashboards) create an audit-ready record that supports transparent operations and measurable outcomes.
True security protects not only people, but also the future — at C1P, sustainability and integrity guide every step we take.
Community-Rooted, Veteran-Led Growth
C1P is a Miami-born, veteran-owned firm with hands-on ownership and 50+ years of combined public safety, military, and private-sector experience—a foundation for ethical growth grounded in local accountability and service. The company is privately held, SBE-certified in Miami-Dade County, and expanding methodically into new jurisdictions while keeping leadership directly involved in day-to-day operations. This ownership model reinforces long-term commitments to clients, employees, and the communities C1P serves.
Professional Standards that Deter and Respect
Sustainable security also means showing up professionally—every shift. C1P codifies uniform and grooming standards to project authority, earn public trust, and promote cooperation on site, while strengthening unity and pride within teams. These standards aren’t cosmetic; they are a frontline deterrent that supports ethical conduct and safer interactions for officers and civilians alike, contributing to stable, low-friction operations over time.
