Since 2017, Solaren has steadily expanded its presence as a trusted provider of private security services across Tennessee and the Southeastern United States. Co-founded by Jack K. Byrd III and Curtis E. Dodson, the company has maintained its commitment to ensuring the safety of people and assets by delivering tailored security solutions to both government and commercial clients. With a team of experienced personnel and a clear regional focus, Solaren continues to distinguish itself through a combination of service reliability and strategic partnerships.
Central to Solaren’s success is its ability to offer a wide range of services, from unarmed and armed security personnel to off-duty police and traffic control operations. These offerings are customized to meet the unique requirements of each client, whether for a corporate campus, public event, or infrastructure project. This flexibility allows Solaren to provide protection that adapts to evolving environments and emerging threats.
A key differentiator for Solaren is its investment in technological innovation. The company has entered a prominent partnership with REKOR AI, taking on the role of regional service provider for advanced roadway monitoring and license plate recognition systems. By incorporating REKOR’s AI-powered platforms, Solaren equips its clients with real-time data that enhances security operations and supports automated decision-making. The systems are designed to improve public safety while streamlining operational management, particularly in urban and traffic-sensitive areas.
The REKOR partnership reflects Solaren’s strategic aim to bridge conventional security practices with next-generation intelligence tools. Solaren not only installs and maintains REKOR systems but also guides clients through the design and implementation process to ensure alignment with their operational goals. This end-to-end involvement reinforces the company’s position as a knowledgeable and dependable technology integrator in the public safety space.
In addition to REKOR, Solaren has teamed up with LiveView Technologies (LVT) to offer mobile surveillance solutions that extend the reach and versatility of traditional security. These portable camera units, equipped with solar panels, loudspeakers, and cloud-based software, are engineered for rapid deployment and remote management. Solaren’s role as an authorized LVT dealer enables clients to monitor traffic flow, deter incidents, and maintain surveillance coverage without the need for permanent infrastructure.
This dual approach—combining physical security with virtual monitoring—positions Solaren to support a broad spectrum of clients. From municipalities and school systems to event organizers and corporate entities, Solaren is able to deliver comprehensive security plans that include both boots-on-the-ground personnel and intelligent monitoring platforms. The integration of mobile surveillance into the company’s offerings allows clients to scale their security presence with greater flexibility and lower costs.
Operationally, Solaren remains anchored by a highly trained team that includes security officers, field operations managers, and specialized support staff. Employee testimonials often highlight the company’s culture of respect and inclusion, with leadership taking a hands-on approach to field coordination and staff development. These internal values translate into consistent and responsive service delivery across all contracts and engagements.
By investing in both personnel and technology, Solaren has created a model of security that is as adaptable as it is effective. The company’s regional roots have not limited its reach; instead, they provide a foundation for meaningful client relationships and scalable service expansion. As security challenges grow in complexity, Solaren’s ability to meet them with integrated, client-focused solutions remains central to its mission.
