Careers
Standards first. Roles follow.
DPG recruits experienced personnel from military, law enforcement and specialist security backgrounds. We select for judgement, discipline and professionalism — and we invest in the people who carry our name.
Who we look for
Experience opens the door. Conduct keeps it open.
A background in the military, law enforcement or private security brings valuable capability — but it is not the deciding factor. Selection at DPG weighs screening and vetting, professional conduct and judgement under pressure alongside operational experience.
We hire deliberately and slowly. Every applicant is vetted thoroughly, briefed honestly and treated with respect — including those we do not progress.
