About Us

Who We Are

US Raven FP Force Protection was founded in 1998 in Los Angeles, CA, by a team of retired law enforcement officers, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and law enforcement technologists. The mission behind SURVEIL is simple: to protect people and property using the latest technology. With over 27 years of experience, we have evolved into a global leader in cloud-based video surveillance, offering AI-powered monitoring solutions designed to improve safety and security worldwide.

Many of our Armed/Unarmed Security Guards are graduates of Armed and Secured, our very own training school, where we are able to educate and certify our students to the highest industry standards and requirements.

Duane Clark brings over 35 years of distinguished law enforcement and military experience to the leadership of US Raven FP Force Protection. As founder and director, Duane has built a respected team of armed and unarmed security professionals, many of whom he personally trained through Armed and Secured, his tactical training school based in Dawsonville, Georgia. There, he has educated and prepared hundreds of security personnel for real-world assignments across a variety of sectors.

Although officially retired from active military and police service, Duane continues to serve his community as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff for Calhoun County, GA — a testament to his lifelong commitment to public safety.

Testimonials

Reviews From Clients

We had a great experience working with US Raven FP for our security contract. They handled everything quick, easy, and totally professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

— Nancy Hill, Cobb County

Owning a cabin three states away used to keep me up at night. Their MRR service changed that completely. When my alarm went off, an officer was on-site within the hour and had a full report to me with photos the same day."

— Robert Hayes, North Georgia Cabin Owner

We hired US Raven FP for executive protection during a high-profile corporate event. Their agents were discreet, sharp, and clearly law-enforcement trained. Everything ran smoothly and our team felt completely secure.

— Michael Brennan, Corporate Client

Their armed guards have been protecting our property for over a year now. Professional, reliable, and always alert. Having a team with real law enforcement backgrounds makes all the difference.

— Sandra Mitchell, Business Owner

From the IQ Panel installation to the 24/7 monitoring, the whole process was seamless. It's reassuring to know that if something happens, real people respond — not just an automated call center.

— James Carter, Homeowner
