Soteria Security is headquartered in Lake Orion, Michigan — right here in Oakland County. We’re not a distant company dispatching officers from across the state. Our guards live in these communities, patrol these streets on duty, and protect Oakland County as part of their everyday careers in law enforcement and military service.
That local connection matters. It means faster response, real knowledge of the communities we serve, and security officers who have a personal investment in keeping Oakland County safe. It also means Soteria is your most accessible option when you need security services in Troy, Pontiac, Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, Bloomfield Hills, or anywhere else in the county.
