From beachfront resorts in Destin to gated subdivisions in Niceville, Okaloosa County demands a higher standard of security—professional, reliable, and trained to interact with residents, tourists, short-term renters, and HOA boards alike.
David J. Mathena & Associates provides licensed security officers, gatehouse staff, and vehicle patrols throughout Okaloosa County, including:
Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Shalimar, Niceville, Mary Esther, Wright, Ocean City, Valparaiso, and Baker.
Okaloosa County has its own unique security landscape:
We secure coastal properties without turning them into police zones. Quiet professionalism, ironclad consistency.


Uniformed officers trained for access control, emergency response, guest interaction, resort etiquette, and Florida security regulations.
Marked patrol vehicles or foot patrols covering HOA neighborhoods, condo complexes, marinas, resorts, and commercial districts (Destin Harbor, Uptown Station, The Boardwalk).
Maintain order at pools, clubhouses, beachfront access points, fitness centers, private docks, and parking garages—without antagonizing residents or guests.
Every property receives site-specific post instructions—not a copy/paste template. Tailored to your rules, map, entry points, neighborhood culture, and management expectations.
We provide armed and unarmed security officers in:
Coastal & Resort Zones
Residential & HOA Communities
Surrounding Areas
