About Us
​
Argus Private Security Force, LLC was founded in January 2019 by Nick Dimas and Tran Pham in Los Lunas, New Mexico. Both founders have extensive experience serving the community, with Nick being a retired deputy sheriff and Marine veteran, and Tran being a well-known local business owner.
​
Their belief is that crime is a costly and demoralizing problem that affects the entire community. While they acknowledge that crime cannot be completely eliminated, they aim to reduce and control it through modern security training and experienced personnel.
​
Argus Private Security Force offers systematic and effective crime control strategies to protect individuals, assets, and property. Their staff is equipped with the necessary skills to deliver crime prevention services to residential and business communities.
In October 2020, Argus Private Security Force was selected by Pacific Architects and Engineers (PAE) and AMI Expeditionary Healthcare to provide security services at various sites in the Navajo Nation during the COVID-19 pandemic. They successfully incorporated commendable private security services into protecting COVID-19 victims, staff, assets, and property during a six-month contract program.
​
Today, Argus Private Security Force is recognized at the state and national level for providing exceptional private security services. They continue to apply crime prevention principles and concepts to protect individuals, residents, commercial organizations, and business communities both in the United States and overseas.
