Universal Protection Service is the largest private security contractor in the United States based out of Santa Ana, California.

Founded in 1965, Universal has started out as a janitorial company, expanding into security by 1969.

Universal has slowly expanded by purchasing other security companies, eventually becoming the largest privately owned security contractor in the US.
