Shaping a Safer Seattle: The Journey of Central Protection

Jul 04, 2023

In 1996, two young cousins, Denis and Dino, arrived in Seattle from war-torn Yugoslavia. They didn't know a single word of English, but they were ready to embrace the new life and challenges that awaited them in America.

Their parents, who found work in janitorial services, instilled in them from a young age the values of hard work, respect, dedication, and determination. From these humble beginnings, a powerful story of immigrant success and entrepreneurship began to take shape.


After years of working for other security companies, Denis and Dino grew disenchanted with the way these businesses were run. They observed a lack of appreciation for employees, subpar service quality, and an overall disconnect between the security services being offered and the real needs of the community. These experiences sparked an idea: what if they could create a better security company? A company that treated its employees like family and delivered high-quality security services tailored to the unique needs of Seattle's residents and businesses?


With this vision, Central Protection was born in 2005. The early days were intense. For three years, Denis and Dino were the company's only employees, putting in long hours—sometimes up to 20 hours a day—to get their venture off the ground. They were the faces of Central Protection, personally ensuring that each client received the best service. Their very first client is still with them today.

This commitment to service, coupled with an unwavering dedication to quality, has set Central Protection apart. They understand that not every potential client is a good fit. They prefer to partner with clients who see the value in more than just a security presence but in a comprehensive security solution.


All security guards at Central Protection receive specialized training that goes above and beyond industry standard requirements. They're proactive in bringing in certified trainers to provide de-escalation training, pepper spray and taser certifications, and education on appropriate use of force. They firmly believe in and continually instill in their employees that the best protection is prevention.


Today, Denis and Dino have a profound love and appreciation for the country that gave them an opportunity to succeed. While they haven't forgotten their roots, they proudly call America home and dedicate themselves to ensuring the safety of their fellow Americans.


Today, Central Protection has grown exponentially from its initial days, with a strong team of around a hundred dedicated professionals. But even with our growth, we remain more than just your neighbor; we're your friend and your partner in building a safer Seattle. This is Denis and Dino's story, and they're proud to continue their work with unwavering dedication to the community they love.
