For some people, birthdays are a celebration of the years gone by. For Hayson Tasher Sr., turning 50 represents something much greater: a milestone that reflects decades of determination, self-belief, and a vision that continues to create opportunities for others. This year also marks another significant achievement: the eighth anniversary of OLDPGS, the security company he founded with a commitment to professionalism, reliability, and community safety.
What began as one man’s belief in his own potential has grown into a trusted security organization providing comprehensive protection services across multiple sectors. The dual celebration of Hayson Tasher Sr.’s 50th birthday and OLDPGS’s eight-year journey is not only a personal milestone but also a testament to the power of believing in yourself and taking action when opportunity presents itself.
With the focus keyword OLDPGS SECURITY MANAGEMENT at the heart of its operations, the company continues to build its reputation on dedication, experience, and dependable service.
From Experience to Entrepreneurship: Building OLDPGS from the Ground Up
Every successful business begins with a defining moment. For Hayson Tasher Sr., that moment came while writing his resume.
As he listed his qualifications, certifications, permits, and years of professional experience, he realized something that would change his future forever. He understood that the value he had built through years of hard work was greater than the position he held as an employee. Instead of simply updating his resume, he transformed it into a business card, and with that simple decision, the foundation for OLDPGS was born.
In early July 2018, just before Independence Day, Hayson received confirmation that his business license had officially been cleared by the state. Seeing the approval posted online became one of the defining moments of his life.
“I cheered myself as if I was on Wall Street,” he recalls.
That excitement wasn’t simply about opening a company; it represented years of preparation finally becoming reality.
Today, OLDPGS SECURITY MANAGEMENT offers a broad range of professional services, including armed and unarmed uniformed security officers, free consulting, alarm response, SB1626 school security services, security management solutions, and loss prevention and investigation services. Guided by its promise of “security you can count on” and its commitment to creating “a safe and secure environment,” the company continues to serve clients with professionalism and integrity.
Eight Years of Growth Through Dedication and Leadership
During the early stages of OLDPGS, the company quickly found itself handling large-scale security responsibilities. Among its early assignments were providing security services for performances by Radiohead and Deadmau5 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. Managing sold-out events with large crowds demonstrated the company’s readiness to handle demanding security operations while maintaining professionalism under pressure.
Unlike many business owners who eventually distance themselves from day-to-day operations, Hayson remains actively involved in every aspect of OLDPGS. Whether working in the field, managing office operations, coordinating security details, or supporting officers and affiliates, he believes leadership begins by staying connected with the people who make the organization successful.
That hands-on leadership continues to distinguish the company from many competitors.
His commitment to excellence was further recognized in 2023 when he received the City of Pasadena Business Hall of Fame Award, adding another milestone to an already inspiring entrepreneurial journey.
As OLDPGS SECURITY MANAGEMENT celebrates eight successful years, its continued growth reflects not only quality service but also the consistency of a founder who leads by example every single day.
Turning Opportunity into Legacy
Throughout his career, Hayson Tasher Sr. has learned that success is rarely about perfect timing. Instead, it comes from recognizing opportunities and having the courage to act.
One quote that continues to inspire him comes from Floyd Mayweather:
“You gotta believe. If you don’t believe it, you’ll never get to where you’re trying to get to.”
For Hayson, belief must always be followed by action.
He openly shares that there were opportunities earlier in his life that he simply allowed to pass by. Those experiences became valuable lessons, reinforcing the importance of taking initiative rather than waiting for the perfect moment.
His own story proves that meaningful achievements can begin at any stage of life. Founding OLDPGS at the age of 43 demonstrates that ambition has no expiration date.
His message to aspiring entrepreneurs is simple yet powerful: it is never too early or too late to pursue your goals. Believe in yourself, invest in your abilities, and seize opportunities when they appear because no one else will do it for you.
Looking toward the future, Hayson envisions expanding the OLDPGS brand even further. His long-term plans include launching Old Patrolman Brand retail locations featuring firearms, security technology products, batons, and related equipment. He also plans to establish dedicated security training centers and develop an OLDPGS sister event security company, broadening the organization’s impact across the security industry.
As Hayson Tasher Sr. celebrates his 50th birthday alongside eight years of OLDPGS SECURITY MANAGEMENT, these milestones represent far more than numbers. They symbolize resilience, vision, leadership, and an unwavering belief that success belongs to those willing to prepare for it and take action when opportunity arrives.
