From guarding Hollywood’s biggest venues to acquiring a record label—Hayson Tasher is proving that security is more than just standing watch. It’s about strategy, vision, and bold moves.
For years, Old Patrolman Guard Services (OLDPGS) has been a trusted name in security, ensuring the safety of high-profile events and clients. Now, founder Hayson Tasher is making headlines again—this time with the acquisition of Sanco Records and the launch of a sister event security firm. This ambitious expansion isn’t just about growing a business; it’s about redefining security in the entertainment industry.
With a background that blends leadership, experience, and an unshakable commitment to quality control, Tasher is taking OLDPGS into uncharted territory. His journey—one that began as a 6th-grade school safety officer and led to securing Hollywood’s most iconic venues—has been defined by dedication, adaptability, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Now, with these bold new ventures, OLDPGS is set to become a powerhouse in both security and entertainment.
A Legacy of Leadership and Security
Hayson Tasher’s journey in leadership began as early as 6th grade, when he took on the dual roles of school safety officer and school president. His passion for responsibility and security was reinforced during a memorable encounter with Mr. T, who asked him to “play dead” during a school presentation. That moment became a defining lesson—one that would later shape his career in the security industry.
OLDPGS was born out of Hollywood’s entertainment scene, starting with The Fonda Theatre, El Rey Theatre, and The Roxy. At that time, Tasher was a one-man team, working alongside venue security while managing major events featuring Tom Petty, XXXTentacion, Mavis Staples, Rich Homie Quan, Chloe x Halle, and Willow Smith. Over the years, OLDPGS has grown into a trusted name in security services, known for its commitment to safety, professionalism, and high-quality standards.
Expanding Horizons: The Sanco Records Acquisition
With the upcoming acquisition of Sanco Records, OLDPGS is stepping into a new territory. This strategic move not only strengthens Tasher’s foothold in the entertainment industry but also opens the door for new security solutions tailored to high-profile music and event productions. The combination of event expertise and top-tier protection will ensure seamless security operations for concerts, festivals, and VIP gatherings.
A Sister Event Security Firm on the Horizon
In addition to the Sanco Records acquisition, OLDPGS is preparing to launch a sister event security firm. This new division will focus on specialized security solutions for large-scale events, ensuring a safe and controlled environment for performers, attendees, and industry professionals. With this expansion, Tasher is reinforcing the company’s reputation as a leader in both traditional and entertainment security.
A Commitment to Opportunity and Excellence
Hayson Tasher’s success is built on more than just security—it’s about creating opportunities. His vision is to empower individuals by providing jobs and fostering growth within the security industry. As he often says, “Opportunity is the key.”
The future of OLDPGS is bright, with plans to introduce retail locations offering branded security gear, including uniforms, batons, firearms, and security cameras. With Tasher’s commitment to quality and innovation, OLDPGS continues to set the standard for excellence in the security sector.
Security You Can Count On
As OLDPGS moves forward with these major developments, one thing remains constant—uncompromising quality and trust. Tasher’s guiding principle passed down from his mother, remains at the core of his work: “No half-ass job. Do your best.”
With the acquisition of Sanco Records and the launch of a dedicated event security firm, Hayson Tasher, and OLDPGS are shaping the future of security—one event at a time.
