5-Star Reviews
What people are saying
Real reviews from the clients we protect — and the team behind the badge.
I contacted Detroit Body Guards Protection Unit as a referral from one of my buddies. I was dealing with another company that was making the process difficult, and it didn't feel right. Detroit Body Guards showed up on time, even last minute. Our team felt comfortable with their process every step of the way, and I highly recommend you give them a call for your next security needs. They've guarded crucial energy equipment for the State of Michigan, and that means a lot to the people who rely on it.
The best security in the state of Michigan. Trustworthy and always on point. If you want someone you can rely on and trust, DBG is the way to go.
Been working here for 2 years — it's a great, reliable company that stands highly on professionalism, always vigilant and making sure everyone is comfortable and safe.
Best in Michigan for protection! Very professional staff.
Zachary G is by far my favorite guard I've had the pleasure of running into. He wasn't just making sure the place I was at was secure — he walked me to my car to make me feel safe! You want him on your team for sure. He knew the whole layout like the back of his hand; there's nothing getting past this man!
I've been working with this business for almost 3 years and I enjoy my job.
