Las Vegas City Council declares July 2 2025 as Protective Force International Day

In a recent Las Vegas City Council meeting held on July 2, 2025, significant recognition was given to the vital role of private security professionals in maintaining public safety. The meeting highlighted the contributions of Protective Force International (PFI), a security service founded by military veteran and former law enforcement officer Jonathan Alvarez. PFI has established itself as a leading provider of security services in the region, offering a range of solutions including K-9 units, mobile patrols, and private investigations.

Council members expressed gratitude for the dedication and professionalism of security personnel, who often serve as the first responders in various situations across the city. The council emphasized that these professionals play a crucial role in safeguarding both residents and visitors in a city known for its vibrant nightlife and high-profile venues.

During the meeting, the council proclaimed July 2, 2025, as "Security Professionals Day" in recognition of the essential services provided by private security teams. This proclamation acknowledges the often-overlooked contributions of security professionals, who outnumber law enforcement officers nationwide and are integral to the safety framework of Las Vegas.

Additionally, the council declared the same day as "Protective Force International Day," celebrating the organization's commitment to community-focused security services since its inception in 2018. Alvarez, in his remarks, dedicated the recognition to the professionals working tirelessly on the streets, underscoring the importance of acknowledging their efforts.

The meeting concluded with a call for continued support and recognition of security professionals, reinforcing their role as a critical component of the city's safety net. As Las Vegas continues to grow, the collaboration between public safety officials and private security services will remain essential in ensuring the safety and well-being of the community.
