Professional Security Assessment
For The Businesses
That Need It Most.

Objective expertise. No equipment to sell. No agenda but yours.

Sentinel Risk Group provides professional security and risk assessments for independent pharmacies, cannabis dispensaries, and retail property managers in high-risk areas. Our team brings fire command, Army Counterintelligence, and law enforcement experience to every assessment — because we've responded to what happens when security fails.

Equipment or guard services sold — ever. Pure objective assessment.

Assessment-Only.
Objective by Design.

Most security consultants want to sell you something. We don't. Our only product is honest, expert assessment — which means our recommendations reflect what actually works, not what generates a commission.

🎯
No Conflicts of Interest

We sell no equipment, alarm systems, camera systems, or guard services. Every recommendation we make is based solely on what improves your security posture and reduces your liability — nothing else.

🏅
Credentials That Matter

Retired fire captain with 20+ years of urban emergency response. Army Counterintelligence Officer. Retired police officer with 20+ years of law enforcement experience. We've seen what happens when security fails.

📊
ROI You Can Measure

Every assessment includes a prioritized vulnerability report with estimated implementation costs and projected impact on theft losses and insurance exposure — so you can make decisions with real numbers.

Three Verticals.
One Expertise.

We focus exclusively on the businesses that face the highest security risk and have the least access to objective, professional assessment services.

💊
Independent Pharmacies

Controlled substance theft, armed robbery, employee diversion, and DEA compliance exposure. We assess every vulnerability — from vault security to closing procedures.

Built by People
Who've Seen What Fails.

Sentinel Risk Group was founded by retired public safety and military professionals who spent careers responding to the consequences of inadequate security. We built this business because independent business owners deserve the same quality of assessment available to large corporations — as a strategic partnership.

Many Disciplines.
One Purpose.

Our founding team brings a combination of credentials unavailable from any single competitor in the Colorado market.

Over 20 years as a fire captain in a high-acuity urban department. Personally responded to pharmacy robberies, commercial break-ins, industrial incidents, and mass casualty events. Brings deep expertise in building systems, emergency response protocols, evacuation planning, and the gap between what a building looks like on paper and what happens when something goes wrong.

Understands how ORC rings identify and target independent businesses across the Colorado market.

"We built this business because we spent decades responding to the consequences of inadequate security. Every report we issue is grounded in what we've actually seen — not theory, not product catalogs, not generic checklists. We tell clients the truth about where they're vulnerable and what it will actually cost to fix it."
— Sentinel Risk Group Founding Partners

What We Promise.

Our objectivity is the only thing we sell. Protecting it is non-negotiable.

🚫
Never Sell Equipment

We have no financial relationship with any alarm company, camera manufacturer, safe vendor, or security equipment supplier. We will never recommend a product from which we benefit.

🚫
Never Sell Guard Services

We are not affiliated with any security guard company. If your assessment indicates you need guards, we will tell you what to look for — not hand you a referral that benefits us.

🔒
Always Keep Your Confidence

Everything you tell us and everything we observe stays strictly confidential. Your vulnerabilities are your business. We carry professional liability insurance and operate under binding confidentiality terms.
