Our Journey
Echelon was founded in the City of Portland, Oregon. In the late 2000’s owners of Echelon began observing the needs of business owners and the community around us. In 2018, they began to formulate a new business model for security in the modern age. In 2019, Echelon was formed into a proactive and results based company to combat the complex problems facing you.
Our owner group is comprised of members with local and federal law enforcement skills ranging from: S.W.A.T., K.9., narcotics, military, and anti-terrorism.
At Echelon, our passion and what gets us out of bed every morning, is knowing we can make a difference in the lives of those around us. We don’t sell our customers touches or hours worked, we sell results. Our owners saw a need by actually listening to the frustrated business owners who have been told one thing, but received another. We believe in a holistic community oriented security with a proactive approach. We believe in exceeding your expectations, not just completing tasks.
In summary, what makes us different? Simply put, we exceed the expectations of our customers.

“Good evening, Reid. I am the new GM at the Park Lane Suites and Inn. I have to let you know that your entire staff is unbelievable. If the property ever has a “problem”, your group of Officers responds so quickly that the hotel guests believe that they are on duty with the Hotel Staff. I have been in this business for many years and have never experienced such professionalism and response like this. Thank you for protecting the interests of the property that I am responsible for.”
Stuart P
Manager of Hotel in Portland Oregon
“I just wanted to thank all of the Echelon officers for their incredible work and support on Saturday for the Oregon Rises Above Hate event. By all accounts, the event was a huge success due in part to the fact that your team made sure people were safe and welcome. I know at Lan Su we had lines of people coming into the garden and both Portland Chinatown Museum and Japanese American Museum of Oregon had hundreds of people visit – which was incredible to see. The significance of this is huge.
I thought I would share the words of one of our community members in summing up the meaning of Saturday's event: 'I am truly grateful for this event and pray for more collaborations in the near future and more success to reach the ends of the rivers and to many, that there is no place for hate, but to treat each other with love.'”
Elizabeth Nye
Executive Director, Lan Su Chinese Garden
“Highest praise for the positive change Echelon has enacted for our nine managed properties in Old Town and for the neighborhood as a whole.
After working with several companies for security services, we were fatefully introduced to Echelon. They have since approached our concerns with a holistic community oriented solution which has been affordable, effective and humane. We feel proud of their interactions at the street level and we sleep at night because Echelon is patrolling.”
Kristi Carver, CPM, RPA
Principal Broker / Managing Director, Interurban Real Estate Group
“When we first spoke, we felt lost and really weren't sure how to deal with the crisis we're experiencing. But after talking with you, we were extremely relieved by not only your level of confidence, but your compassion as well. We truly appreciate how kind and thoughtful Spencer was about our situation. Spencer was amazing. Thank you, Reid, first for taking our call, second, for your kind understanding, and third, for sending Spencer our way! We had such a difficult situation and because of you and Spencer, our problem has been resolved. Our experience with Echelon was phenomenal!”
