The "soft touch."

When people think about personal protection or the protection of the business and assets, what comes to mind? Surely no one wants to think about the low paid security guard who doesn’t want to be there, doesn’t have the skills or training and is just there for a paycheck until something better comes along.

When people think of competent protection, they think of the big tough guy. Hundreds of movies and media have told us this is exactly how it is. The “good protection agents” are scary, gruff, mean. Choosing between the incapable and the unapproachable is a ridiculous compromise. A compromise Elite Tactical’s clients don’t have to make.

Security and protection agents need to have both the “hard skills” and the “soft skills” when it comes to providing the absolute pinnacle of service to clients. This is Elite’s business model. This is what we do.

Elite Tactical Agents have the “hard skills.” Close protection, hand to hand combatives, firearm expertise, transport experience, situational awareness, rapid intel-analysis, these are all just the basics our Security and Protection Agents need to have. Honestly, every single person in the security industry should have these skills. If they don’t…let’s be honest, they’re in the wrong business.

Elite Agents take things a step further, to the “white glove” level our clients deserve. Elite Tactical Security and Protection Agents are there to secure you physically, yes; however, the field of security for Elite is much broader. Elite is there to protect your reputation, your financial well-being, your convenience, and to free our clients from worrying “what happens next.” Elite Tactical Security and Protection Agents specialize in the “soft touch,” that’s what sets us apart.

Elite Agents are trained to make sure the client’s needs are met. 24/7. We are trained to be the silent protectors who anticipate our client’s needs. We make sure our client doesn’t wait in hotel lobbies, we make sure business owners come out to meet them. We can make sure our client can count on us to move their assets anywhere in the country quickly, discreetly, and professionally.

The "hard skills" keep your client and their assets safe, but the "soft skills" are what makes the difference. When you hire Elite Tactical to protect your assets, business, or person, we use the highest level of personnel to protect you physically, protect your reputation, protect your convenience, and protect you from worrying what happens next. Intelligence and logistics analysts, security specialists, military and medical specialists, law enforcement officers, people who have worked all over the world, here for you. That's what we do. The whole package. Perfection is the standard.

Secure Transport Between Omaha and Kansas City

Elite Tactical is now making secure transport runs to locations within 500 miles of the Omaha Metropolitan area, specifically to the Kansas City area. Elite provides secure, professional transportation using a squad made up of our Alpha Team Agents, trained in small unit tactics and with extensive training and experience in security and transport operations both in the military and civilian world.

Why would secure transport be necessary in today’s world? The facts are simple and they are indisputable. Businesses and people who need secure transport often move valuables and cash upwards of a million dollars. Elite operates a multiple personnel team to secure these assets from pick up to destination. We mitigate security risks, provide advanced scouting, and use state of the art communications and intelligence analysis to move these assets quickly, discreetly, and securely. A simple google search shows jewelry couriers who have been intercepted and robbed and injured during these transports. Moreover, traditional armored cars have been robbed and the contents stolen, sometimes resulting in tragic consequences for the employees of the armored car company.

Elite does things differently. Elite is small, but we see this as a benefit. We are able to keep the most professional and well trained force of agents available. We make sure our agents are well compensated and that our agents are quite simply, the best the industry has to offer. You are able to get in direct contact with the administration of Elite, how many large carriers let you talk directly to the CEO? Elite also doesn’t put a large target on the vehicles transporting your assets. We run covert, with multiple agents.

Let’s take a look at the standard armored carrier. A large, conspicuous vehicle with a huge logo. You can see where that armored truck is, you can see where it’s going. When is an armored car vulnerable to attack and robbery? During pick up and drop offs. When the doors of this large conspicuous target are open…it’s not so armored anymore, is it? How much are armored carriers charging you? How much are they really doing to keep you assets safe and how much training and experience do their employees have?

Elite runs the majority of our transports 100% covert. Armed, covert agents moving your assets with discretion. We don’t disclose who we work with. We don’t advertise who we serve. We move your valuable assets.

Elite Tactical is ready to serve you. We offer competitive rates for long distance transports. We use elite personnel. We don’t cut corners. We do the job, quickly, discreetly, with the highest level of security. Our experienced personnel are military, law enforcement, and medics. We make sure we cover every angle.

Don’t risk your assets during a long distance transport. Don’t advertise what you’re moving and where you’re going. Count on Elite Tactical to move your valuable assets. Contact us using the form below or call us at: 402-672-8871. Transports can be made with a 48 hour notice.

Always Remember, It's Too Soon To Quit

Sometimes there’s a lot that goes wrong. In the security business, we all know things can go wrong but our clients need us to keep going and perform the very best in every circumstance. I’d like to share a little bit about a man who inspires me to keep pushing towards my goals, Bob Wieland.

Bob Wieland was a standout baseball player for the University of Wisconsin. In fact, the Philadelphia Phillies were negotiating a contract for Bob to play professional baseball when Bob decided to do something different. Bob decided to enlist in the United States Army as a medic.

In 1969, while on patrol in Vietnam, Bob’s unit wandered into a mine field. One of the soldiers in Bob’s unit was injured and Bob went out to help. Bob stepped on a land mine and lost both of his legs. Bob could have descended into despondence and self pity. Bob chose a different path.

Bob came home from Vietnam and after recovering from his wounds, enrolled California State University. After graduation, Bob became the strength coach for the NFL Green Bay Packers in his home state of Wisconsin. But Bob didn’t stop there, Bob didn’t quit. Bob decided to push himself. Bob decided to run. Yeah, that’s right. Bob, the American Hero with no legs, was going to run.

…and run he did. Bob entered the New York City Marathon and finished the 26.2 mile course by walking on his hands. It took him 4 days. He did it. Bob ran across America on his hands to raise money for Vietnam Veterans. It took him 3 years and 8 months. He did it. He finished the Los Angeles Marathon in 74.5 hours. He did it. Bob Wieland, completed the Kona, Hawaii Ironman Race…on his hands, the only double amputee to finish the race without the use of a wheelchair.

Bob Wieland always says, “my legs went one way, my life went another.” He never let losing his legs slow him down. His spirit and his drive is something that can inspire anyone to keep pushing through anything that happens in their life.

The message today is that sometimes things don’t go as planned. Sometimes there are roadblocks and trials. But we can all take a lesson from another thing Bob always says, “Always remember, it’s too soon to quit.”

Keep pushing. Keep getting better. Stay safe out there.
