Our Story: A Legacy of Service

RVA Security and Consulting, LLC was founded in 2010 with a simple purpose: to support law enforcement officers and provide reliable security services where they were needed most.


Built on a Foundation of Law Enforcement Excellence
RVA Security was founded in response to a policy change requiring deputies with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to carry their own liability insurance for off-duty assignments. Rather than navigate that challenge alone, our founder, Rudy Acosta, a seasoned law enforcement leader, built a licensed and insured agency that gave fellow officers a unified structure to continue working.

What started as a small, practical solution quickly evolved.Early growth was driven by opportunity and trust. After forming key relationships, RVA began supporting visiting teams from the National Football League, providing hotel security and police escorts throughout Arizona. Within a few years, that work expanded to supporting every team traveling into the state, marking a turning point in the company’s trajectory.

From there, RVA continued to grow through performance, relationships, and reputation.

Today, RVA provides:

  • Unarmed and armed security personnel
  • Off-duty law enforcement coordination
  • Police-assisted escorts
  • Executive protection

The Law Enforcement Advantage
We are not a standard security guard company. Our operations are guided by leadership with decades of command-level law enforcement experience, encompassing investigations, training, and large-scale operational planning. We specialize in coordinating off-duty police officers, bringing real-world tactical knowledge and strict accountability to your sites. When you partner with us, you gain access to professionals trained to anticipate risks, manage crises, and execute complex security protocols flawlessly.
