About Our Security Franchise
Meet Our Brand
How Silbar Security Started
Law enforcement professionals launched Silbar Security after seeing a gap in the security industry. Too often, security lacked accountability, clear reporting, and disciplined execution. With law enforcement-based standards and modern technology, Silbar Security raises the bar for professional security services.
Our Brand Story

Today, we continue expanding into new markets through corporate locations and franchise partners while maintaining the disciplined standards that define our brand. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our 96% customer satisfaction rating and 98% service reliability rating.
Our Founder
Designed by Law Enforcement. Built to Elevate the Industry.
In 2008, Brandon Dean was a Police K-9 Officer with the City of Norfolk, Virginia, and he saw an industry desperate for change. Tired of watching security companies operate without the discipline of law enforcement, he founded Silbar Security Franchising to fix that. His trademarked tagline says it all: “Professional Security Wasn’t Available… So We Fixed It!”

Brandon brought real credentials to the table. During nearly 11 years with the Norfolk Police Department, he served in the Traffic Unit, Motorcycle Unit, Fatality Team, and K-9 Unit, where his partner, Falco, became something of a company legend. He eventually retired early to run Silbar Security Franchising full-time alongside his wife, Kandice, whose corporate background gave the company the structure it needed to scale.
After growing through company-owned locations in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina, Brandon and Kandice launched the Silbar Security Franchising franchise system in 2016. Today, we operate nearly a dozen franchise locations nationwide, with five more in development. The mission: help the right partners, especially veterans, military, and law enforcement, build businesses that deliver both financial reward and personal freedom.
