Bo Buchanan
PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
OVERVIEW
With more than 15 years of experience in the security industry, Bo Buchanan has built his career around a simple principle: professional security is about more than putting a uniformed officer at a post—it is about protecting people, property, operations, and peace of mind.
LEADERSHIP & EXPERIENCE
As the Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of David Protective Services, Inc. (DPS), Bo brings extensive experience in security operations, personnel management, client relations, site supervision, and organizational leadership. Since founding DPS in 2019, he has worked to build a company centered on professionalism, accountability, responsiveness, and genuine service to its clients.
CAREER BUILT FROM THE FIELD
Throughout his career, Bo has progressed through virtually every level of security operations—from working in the field to supervising officers, managing operations, overseeing personnel, and ultimately leading his own security company. He has held Texas security management responsibilities for more than a decade and has supervised and overseen the work of more than 500 security professionals throughout his career.
REPRESENTATIVE EXPERIENCE
Bo’s professional experience has included security operations associated with organizations and properties such as Cushman & Wakefield, TIG Real Estate, the Mexican Consulate, North Texas Food Bank, Texas Credit Union, ResCare, Danone/Wave, Mazzei/Daltile, Lipman Produce, and 24/7 Inc. call centers, among others. His experience spans commercial real estate, high-rise properties, corporate facilities, call centers, industrial operations, distribution facilities, nonprofit organizations, residential communities, and diplomatic facilities.
THE DPS DIFFERENCE
Bo founded DPS to create more than another security guard company. He wanted to build a company where leadership remains involved, officers are held accountable, clients receive meaningful communication, and security services are treated as a professional responsibility rather than simply a staffing assignment. That philosophy is reflected in DPS’s three principles: Relational. Reliable. Responsive.
TRAINING, TECHNOLOGY & ACCOUNTABILITY
Bo’s approach emphasizes appropriate officer selection, site-specific expectations, effective post orders, ongoing supervision, professional conduct, detailed reporting, incident documentation, and accountability. DPS also utilizes technology and operational reporting systems to provide greater visibility into security operations, including patrol verification, GPS/location-based accountability, photographs, daily activity reporting, and incident documentation.
EDUCATION & SERVICE
Bo has continued his professional and academic development, including studies in Criminal Justice. His leadership philosophy is rooted in integrity, accountability, and service, with the belief that leadership is not simply about authority—it is about accepting responsibility for the people and responsibilities entrusted to you.
CLOSING
Bo believes security professionals should understand that their role is bigger than standing at a post. They represent the client, the security company, and often the first impression a resident, employee, customer, or visitor has of a property. His commitment remains simple: Security should work for the client—not the other way around.
Eugene Love
OVERVIEW
EXPERIENCE THAT PUTS LEADERSHIP IN THE FIELD
TRAINING & OFFICER DEVELOPMENT
Eugene has supervised, managed, trained, and developed hundreds of security professionals, with more than 200–300 officers trained and developed under his leadership. His experience includes managing security personnel, overseeing daily operations, addressing personnel and client concerns, implementing site expectations, supporting account management, and helping security teams perform effectively in demanding environments.
LARGE-SCALE OPERATIONS
Eugene has been entrusted with the management of large-scale and national security accounts, giving him experience working within structured corporate environments where consistency, accountability, communication, and operational execution are essential.
THE HANDS-ON LEADER
One of Eugene’s greatest strengths is his hands-on approach to operations. He understands that effective security management cannot always be done from behind a desk. Sometimes leadership means being in the field, seeing the operation firsthand, talking with officers, identifying problems before they become larger issues, and working directly with clients to understand what is happening at their property.
SECURITY WITH A BROADER PERSPECTIVE
In addition to his extensive physical security experience, Eugene has developed knowledge in cybersecurity, giving him an expanded perspective on the changing nature of security. His exposure to both physical security operations and cybersecurity contributes to DPS’s broader understanding of how security continues to evolve.
EDUCATION & SERVICE
Eugene holds a degree in Criminal Justice. His education, combined with more than 15 years of hands-on security experience, provides him with both an academic foundation and real-world perspective necessary to lead security operations effectively.
CLOSING
While executive leadership establishes the direction of the organization, Eugene helps ensure that direction is carried into the field. He is the hands-on leader behind the operation—helping ensure that what DPS promises its clients is what DPS delivers.

Office Manager & Human Resources Director
OVERVIEW
THE HEART BEHIND THE OPERATION
THE THREE R'S IN ACTION
Jasmine is one of the people who helps make DPS’s commitment to being Relational, Reliable, and Responsive part of the company’s daily operation. Relational means maintaining relationships. Reliable means following through and maintaining organization. Responsive means answering the phone, returning the message, following up with the client, addressing the concern, and making sure people know that someone is paying attention.

Jasmine serves as an important check and balance within the organization. She has the ability to step back, identify what may be missing, and ask the questions that need to be asked. If something needs to be scheduled, followed up on, communicated, or addressed, she helps make sure it happens.

Jasmine holds a degree in Business Management. As a devoted wife, mother, and woman of faith, her values are reflected in the way she approaches responsibility, relationships, and service.
