About Ambassador Worldwide Protection Agency

Founded in 2004 by retired U.S. Navy veteran Thomas Bolling, Ambassador Worldwide Protection Agency (AWPA) is a veteran-owned and operated security company dedicated to protecting people, property, and business operations through professional, customized security solutions.

Built on the values of Integrity, Courage, and Vigilance, AWPA was founded with a commitment to raise the standard of private security through disciplined leadership, exceptional training, and unwavering professionalism. Today, we proudly serve warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, commercial properties, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, government agencies, and other businesses throughout the Mid-South and beyond.

We understand that today’s organizations face evolving challenges—from theft, unauthorized access, workplace violence, and liability concerns to supply chain disruptions and asset protection. That’s why we take a consultative approach, partnering with every client to develop customized security programs tailored to their unique operations, risks, and goals.

At AWPA, we believe security is more than placing an officer at a post—it’s building trusted partnerships that create safer workplaces, protect valuable assets, and provide peace of mind.

Mission Statement

Excellence Isn’t Our Goal, It’s Our Standard

Our mission is to protect the people, property, and operations entrusted to our care by delivering proactive, customized security solutions with professionalism, integrity, and accountability. We are committed to providing highly trained para-military security officers who are prepared to prevent incidents, respond with confidence, and represent our clients with the highest level of professionalism.

Every client, every facility, and every security challenge is different. That’s why we reject one-size-fits-all solutions in favor of consultative partnerships that identify risk, strengthen security, and support our clients’ operational success.

Through continuous training, ethical leadership, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, AWPA strives to be the trusted security partner organizations rely on to protect what matters most.

Bolling, a decorated military, law enforcement, and professional security expert. President and founder, Thomas W. Bolling, recognized the opportunity of today’s market potential for the development of a global private protective and security agency, which would surpass the public’s perception of the old Andy Griffith 1950’s and 1960’s image of the security service industry, which most other security companies still operate under today.

Bolling has realized that vision with a sharper image, highly-trained and managed executive protection and security agency with state-of-the-art equipment, tactics and a twenty-first-century-minded team of officers invigorating new blood and a renewed image, fashioned to quickly become the world’s market leader.
