Executive Protection & Church Security in Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia
We cross the river, and we say so plainly.
Aegispoint is a New Jersey company based in Mount Laurel, about 20 miles from Center City. We travel into Philadelphia for executive protection and house of worship work. Different state, different rules, and you should know how that affects your plan before you hire anyone.
-
New Jersey based, not a Philadelphia office
We have no Philadelphia office and will not pretend otherwise. Every Philadelphia assignment is planned from Mount Laurel, with the drive across the river built into its timings.
-
Pennsylvania's rules apply
Pennsylvania regulates armed private security under its Lethal Weapons Training Act, and a New Jersey carry permit is not recognized there. Before any Philadelphia assignment we tell you exactly how it will be staffed under Pennsylvania law.
-
Two services we bring across
Executive protection, for visits, meetings and events in the city, and house of worship protection, for congregations that want to stay open and welcoming. Those are what we travel into Philadelphia for.

Questions
Philadelphia, answered plainly.
The things people here actually want to know before they call a protection company.
No. Aegispoint is based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, about 20 miles from Center City by road. We travel into Philadelphia for executive protection and house of worship work.
Pennsylvania sets its own rules. Armed private security there falls under the state's Lethal Weapons Training Act, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's reciprocity table confirms a New Jersey carry permit is not recognized in Pennsylvania. Before any Philadelphia assignment, we tell you exactly how it will be staffed under Pennsylvania law.
Executive protection and house of worship protection. Private events are case by case. Our school protection and firearms training are built around New Jersey, and we will not stretch them to fit.
Yes. Executive protection can cover the whole visit when the plan calls for it: arrival, movement around the city, meetings and departure, with routes and timings set before the day.
From the Philadelphia Police Department's Gun Permits Unit, which processes Pennsylvania Licenses to Carry Firearms for city residents. Our firearms training is built for New Jersey's permit process and is not a substitute for anything Pennsylvania requires.
As early as you can. Cross-state work takes more planning than a job in New Jersey, and the earlier we know the dates and locations, the better the plan.
