Security isn’t just about protection—it’s about foresight, precision, and staying ahead of the game. That’s exactly what Hayson Tasher, founder of Old Patrolman Guard Services (OLDPGS), has been doing for years. Now, he’s taking his expertise even further with the acquisition of Sanco Records and the launch of a sister event security firm, a move that cements OLDPGS as more than just a security company—it’s becoming an industry leader in event safety and entertainment protection.
Tasher’s leadership skills emerged early. In 6th grade, he took on roles as school safety officer and school president, gaining an understanding of responsibility and crisis management at a young age. A pivotal moment in his life came when Mr. T visited his school and asked him to act out a scene in front of his peers—a lesson in performance, control, and presence that would later influence his approach to security.
His passion for security became a profession when he started working at legendary Hollywood venues, including The Fonda Theatre, El Rey Theatre, and The Roxy. At first, OLDPGS was a solo operation, with Tasher working alongside venue security teams. Over time, his reputation for quality control, reliability, and professionalism attracted high-profile clients, allowing him to expand his team and take on major events featuring Tom Petty, XXXTentacion, Mavis Staples, Rich Homie Quan, Chloe x Halle, and Willow Smith.
With the acquisition of Sanco Records, OLDPGS is making a bold move into the entertainment industry, ensuring that top talent and events receive not just protection, but strategic security planning tailored to the music world. This expansion aligns security expertise with event management, bridging the gap between artist protection and seamless event execution.
Beyond the record label acquisition, OLDPGS is gearing up to launch a sister event security firm, dedicated solely to large-scale entertainment events, concerts, and high-profile gatherings. This new division will focus on providing elite security solutions, ensuring that artists, attendees, and staff experience a safe, well-managed environment without distractions or risks.
For Tasher, OLDPGS isn’t just about safety—it’s about creating opportunities. He believes in giving people the chance to succeed in the security industry, offering employment and career growth through his expanding business. His philosophy is simple but powerful: “Opportunity is the key.”
The future of OLDPGS doesn’t stop at security services. Retail locations featuring branded uniforms, batons, firearms, and security cameras are also part of Tasher’s vision. This expansion ensures that OLDPGS isn’t just a service provider—it’s a complete security solutions brand.
Hayson Tasher has built his company on a foundation of trust, discipline, and excellence. His mother’s words continue to guide him: “No half-ass job. Do your best.” With the acquisition of Sanco Records and the upcoming launch of a specialized event security firm, OLDPGS is poised to redefine security in the entertainment world—one event at a time.
