California-based entrepreneur Hayson Tasher Sr is addressing growing curiosity around the unreleased name of his upcoming event security company. As the founder of OLDPGS, he makes it clear that the delay is intentional.
“I will release the name of OLDPGS’ sister event security company when the time is right,” he says. “Some movies, films, videos, or even scripts never get released. It’s on my to-do list, and it remains a top priority.”
For Tasher, timing is everything. Rather than rushing an announcement, he is focused on building the foundation of the venture before revealing its identity to the public.
Early Life: Discipline Meets Chaos
Tasher’s journey began in California during the early 1990s, where he balanced a structured military path with a rebellious youth. He served between 1991 and 1995 under Theatre duties, holding military ID number N20,910,865, despite not turning 18 until 1994.
At the same time, he was immersed in the cultural energy of the era. He recalls meeting the late DJ Mike T of Compton’s Most Wanted (CMW) at a mutual friend’s house in the early ‘90s. His teenage years were marked by disruption, including over 50 absences in a single semester, something that ultimately cost him a role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles after his mother stepped in.
Growing up in Inglewood, he hosted house parties when his parents were out of town, with appearances from artists like Sugabuga (Dog) of Young Soldierz, The Relatives, and Bangin On Wax. These experiences gave him a deep understanding of environments, risk, and crowd dynamics, skills that would later define his career.
Building OLDPGS: From Employee to Founder
The idea for OLDPGS came from self-realization. Tasher noticed that his personal growth was surpassing the company he worked for.
“I heavily invested in myself, earning certifications, permits, and licenses that overshadowed the security firm I was working at. I grew bigger and went on my own,” he explains.
This decision marked the beginning of OLDPGS, a company built on expertise, discipline, and real-world experience.
Services and Business Model
OLDPGS operates with a comprehensive security model designed to serve multiple sectors. Its offerings include:
- Armed and unarmed uniformed security officers
- Alarm response
- Free consulting
- SB1626 school security
- Investigation services and loss prevention
Driven by the principles “Security you can count on” and “Dedicated to a safe and secure environment,” the company focuses on reliability and proactive protection.
What Sets Him Apart
One of Tasher’s biggest differentiators is his hands-on leadership style.
“I’m still active in field security details and also manage office operations with my team. Not many founders of million-dollar companies do that, that’s facts,” he says.
His approach ensures that he remains connected to both ground realities and strategic decision-making, something he believes strengthens OLDPGS as a whole.
Influences and Industry Standards
Tasher draws inspiration from legacy organizations known for trust and longevity, including Pinkerton and Wells Fargo. Their long-standing reputations motivate him to build OLDPGS into a brand that stands the test of time.
Inspiring Through Action
At the core of Tasher’s philosophy is opportunity.
“Opportunity, it’s up to the person to grasp it. Do they act on it and take it to the extreme of their benefit, or let it pass by?” he says.
He emphasizes consistent effort and self-investment as the true markers of success. “You must invest in yourself and stay involved in your goals. Otherwise, when you look back, you’re just another ‘new year, new me’ person.”
Vision for the Future
Tasher’s plans extend far beyond his current operations. His long-term vision includes:
- Retail locations under the “Old Patrolman Brand” offering firearms, tactical wear, boots, and security tech products
- OLDPGS security training centers
- The launch of the highly anticipated OLDPGS sister event security company
While the name of the new venture remains undisclosed, Tasher’s commitment to excellence suggests it will align with the same standards that define OLDPGS.
Final Word
Hayson Tasher Sr.’s journey is one of transformation from a rebellious youth to a disciplined entrepreneur leading a growing security brand. His decision to hold back the name of his upcoming event security company is not about secrecy, but strategy.
And when the time comes, it won’t just be a reveal, it will be a statement.
