THE Overwatch Defense International STORY
Overwatch Defense International (ODI) was founded on a commitment to integrity, professionalism, and operational excellence. With decades of combined experience in military special operations, law enforcement, and private security, our team is driven by a purpose: to protect what matters most — people, property, and peace of mind.
Based in Laguna Niguel, California, and proudly serving clients throughout Southern California and beyond, Overwatch Defense International provides elite-level protection and investigative services tailored to the unique needs of each client.
Our mission
To deliver elite, dependable security and investigative services with integrity, discretion, and tactical precision. We are committed to protecting lives, property, and reputations — standing firm in our promise to be Reliable, Resilient and Ready in every situation.
Our Vision
To be the premier provider of protective services and investigations in California, known for our tactical expertise, trustworthiness, and unwavering commitment to those we serve. Our goal is to redefine industry standards and lead by example in an evolving world.
Our Philosophy
At Overwatch Defense International, we believe security is more than a service — it’s a responsibility. Our philosophy is rooted in four core principles:
Loyalty – We protect our clients with the same dedication we gave to our country and communities.
Discipline – We hold ourselves and our team to the highest standards of conduct and performance.
Adaptability – Every situation is different. We assess, adapt, and act decisively.
Accountability – We do what we say we’ll do. No excuses.
Our approach is mission-ready and client-focused. Whether securing residential communities, managing high-risk environments, or conducting sensitive investigations, we operate with integrity, courage, and a warrior mindset.
Giving Back
At ODI Security, we believe in standing with those who’ve sacrificed for others, veterans, first responders, and the vulnerable members of our communities. Supporting mission-driven organizations is one way we continue that commitment beyond the job.
Run 2 Rescue
A nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and restoring women victimized by human trafficking. Their work provides safety, healing, and a path to freedom for survivors in need.
The Michael James Roberts Foundation
Honoring the legacy of a Marine, this foundation supports veterans, first responders, and at-risk youth through mentorship, outreach, and community-building programs.
Supporting these organizations is one of the ways we give back to our country and community. We stand with our veterans, first responders, and those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others.
