Our story

Chicago's trusted event security partner since 2015

A licensed, insured, and minority-owned firm specializing in small to large-scale event security, staffing, and safety management — built on a foundation of community trust and decades of frontline experience.

Who we are

From green rooms to citywide events

Founded in 2015 in Chicago, Greenroom Security Agency (GRS) began securing film and studio lots and green rooms — and has grown into one of the city's most trusted event security providers. Today we serve the City of Chicago, Special Olympics, the Chicago Park District, and dozens of high-profile event producers across Illinois and neighboring states.

GRS operates under the methodologies and standards of ASIS International, NIMS, ICS, and FEMA's Whole Community Approach — delivering measurable safety outcomes while prioritizing guest experience and professional presence at every deployment. The result: a zero-incident record across more than 300 events.
