How GardaWorld Security supports public-private partnerships

GardaWorld Security is a leading advocate for public-private partnerships, recognizing their critical role in national and global security. Through initiatives like Infragard and active collaborations with law enforcement agencies—including the Maryland Chiefs of Police and various Sheriff’s Associations—GardaWorld Security strengthens safety networks across communities. A standout achievement is its support of the Global Shield Network, an evolution of the NYPD’s post-9/11 Shield program. Originally designed to counter terrorism in New York City, the program has rapidly expanded to 54 U.S. locations and 14 countries. With GardaWorld Security’s support, this network now offers real-time access to assistance and intelligence through a nationwide web of security professionals and law enforcement liaisons—streamlining response times and eliminating bureaucratic delays when incidents arise.
