How SAP Works

Three Steps. No SAP Fees.

STEP 01 · REGISTER

Register Free — 5 Minutes

Guardians and facilities each create a free account. Guardians enter rigorous vetting — only the best of the best earn the SAP designation.

STEP 02 · MATCH

SAP Matches & Connects

Tell us what your facility needs. We connect the right vetted guardian to the right institution. No matching fee. No obligation. No staffing markup.

STEP 03 · PROTECT

Your Community Is Protected

Corporate sponsors, private donors, and foundation partners fund the gap. SAP never charges guards or organizations a fee. You pay your guardian directly.

Social Proof

Trusted Where It Matters

As an Army recon scout pilot, my entire mission was situational awareness and protection. You never lose that instinct. SAP guardians bring that same level of vigilance to our schools — providing vital security for students and a renewed sense of purpose for veterans.
— Rob Martinez · Former Army Pilot & Company Commander

Guards Don't Pay. Organizations Don't Pay. Ever.

SAP is funded entirely by corporate sponsors, private donors, and foundation grants. Your generosity is what makes protection possible.

Our Vetting Process

Only the Best of the Best Wear the SAP Shield.

Every SAP guardian must meet the SAP Vetting Standard — four checks completed directly between guardian and organization before service begins. The institutions we serve — and the people inside them — deserve nothing less.

  1. VET / 01

    Honorable Discharge Verification

    Every military guardian must show an honorable separation from service.

  2. VET / 02

    Federal Background Check

    Full national criminal history review.

  3. VET / 03

    Sex Offender Registry Check

    National database. No exceptions.

  4. VET / 04

    Document Authentication

    Every credential verified.

Note: SAP does not provide security training. We recruit professionals who are already trained, disciplined, and mission-ready — and the SAP Vetting Standard ensures their credentials are verified before service begins.
About Us

Built by Those Who Served.

Safety Alert Patrol was founded on a simple belief: the men and women who dedicated their lives to protecting America should never stop serving — and America's schools, churches, and medical facilities should never go unprotected.

Our mission is to connect America's schools, houses of worship, and medical facilities with the best-qualified, most thoroughly vetted retired military veterans and law enforcement officers available — with no SAP fees for anyone we serve; institutions pay their guardians directly.

Every dollar given goes directly to vetting, matching, and supporting the heroes who guard our most vulnerable communities.
