Our Story

Detroit Body Guards Protection Unit

Founded in 2018 with just one client, Detroit Body Guards Protection Unit was established by Owner and CEO Daniel Claxton, who has always possessed a strong entrepreneurial spirit. What started as a single security contract quickly grew — through his diligence and commitment to delivering high-quality work, Daniel earned a reputation across the Detroit region as a fair and effective leader, and DBG became known for showing up prepared, professional, and dependable on every assignment.

Known for giving opportunities to those who are dedicated and attentive, Daniel Claxton has grown DBGPU into a 100+ member team protecting businesses, properties, events, and people at 50+ locations across Michigan. Today, Detroit Body Guards provides full-service security — from commercial and property protection to special events and personal protection — and is always ready to take on new contracts as the company keeps growing.
