Protecting People with Purpose

Who we are

PPC (Personal Protective Concepts) is a veteran-led safety firm focused on protecting people, not just property. We deliver consulting, training, and protective services that are trauma-informed, mission-aligned, and grounded in real-world readiness.
 

We’re a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) with deep roots in New York City and a growing national impact.
 

From schools and nonprofits to public figures and small businesses, our goal is always the same: help people feel safer, stronger, and more prepared.

Our Philosophy

We don’t believe in fear-based safety.


We don’t show up to intimidate.


We don’t lead with tactics — we lead with care.

​

We believe safety should be:

  • People-first, not property-first

  • Preventative, not reactive

  • Calm, capable, and compassionate

 

That’s what our clients — and our communities — deserve.

Our Approach

  • Every service we offer is trauma-informed and rooted in lived experience.

  • We hire, train, and elevate professionals who believe in community protection over control.

  • Our professionals don’t just “show up” — they lead, observe, de-escalate, and protect.

  • Our training isn’t just check-the-box. It’s scenario-based, real, and empowering.
