Citadel Security is expanding its presence into Western Kentucky, establishing operations in Owensboro to support organizations across the region with professionally managed security programs and local leadership.
This expansion strengthens Citadel’s ability to serve growing industrial and commercial markets throughout Western Kentucky, including manufacturing, logistics, and distribution operations that require consistent, well-managed security coverage.
Owensboro and the surrounding region continue to see steady economic activity driven by industrial growth, increasing the need for security partners that can deliver both reliable on-site personnel and structured operational oversight.
“Western Kentucky represents an important opportunity for Citadel as we continue to grow across the Midwest,” said Justin Hale, CEO of Citadel Security. “Our focus is on building a strong local presence while bringing the operational structure, accountability, and consistency our clients expect across every site.”
Citadel’s expansion is supported by new partnerships in the region, including security services for Swedish Match, a Philip Morris International company, in Owensboro. These partnerships reflect Citadel’s ability to support complex industrial environments with tailored security programs and experienced personnel.
With a local operational presence, Citadel provides clients in Western Kentucky with responsive service, on-site leadership, and security programs designed to align with each facility’s specific risks and operational needs.
Citadel’s approach combines professional on-site officers, mobile patrol coverage, and technology-supported oversight to improve visibility, accountability, and consistency across every shift. This includes structured reporting, clear communication, and operational support that ensures security programs are actively managed rather than passively staffed.
Clients in the region also benefit from Citadel’s centralized operational support, which enhances coordination across sites, strengthens reporting, and supports field teams in real time when issues arise.
Citadel Security currently supports hundreds of client locations and safeguards more than $3 billion in assets across multiple states. The company maintains a 95%+ client retention rate, reflecting its commitment to professionalism, accountability, and long-term client partnerships.
Citadel’s expansion into Western Kentucky reflects its continued investment in growing industrial markets and its focus on delivering reliable, well-managed security programs backed by strong operational infrastructure.
