Grey Watch Group provides executive protection, risk intelligence, and crisis response to organizations operating where the stakes — and the visibility — are highest.
Every engagement is staffed by certified operators drawn directly from military combat arms, federal and municipal law enforcement, and intelligence backgrounds — scoped precisely to the client's exposure, never overstaffed and never undertrained.
Close protection and advance work for principals, families, and traveling delegations.
Threat landscape analysis and due diligence to inform decisions before exposure occurs.
Curriculum design and instruction for in-house security teams and government partners.
Secure movement of personnel, materials, and equipment through contested or unstable routes.
Rapid-deployment teams for evacuation, kidnap-and-ransom support, and incident management.
FAA-certified drone pilots providing real-time overwatch, perimeter monitoring, and site assessment in direct support of ground teams.
Grey Watch Group was founded by Dominic Poirier, a former U.S. Army Infantryman (11B), who built this firm on a simple standard: every operator on a Grey Watch detail has already carried the weight of the real thing — combat arms veterans, former federal and municipal law enforcement, and FAA-certified UAS operators, vetted and fielded to one bar, not several.
We operate on a need-to-know basis, internally and externally. Engagements are scoped, staffed, and closed out under strict confidentiality — including, where requested, formal non-disclosure terms before any details are exchanged.
That discretion is not a marketing position. It's the operating standard every assignment is held to.
— Dominic Poirier, Founder & Lead Operator
Dominic Poirier spent ten years as an 11B Infantryman in the U.S. Army before serving three additional years with Army Recruiting Command — evaluating, vetting, and selecting the people entrusted to wear the uniform. That same evaluative discipline now shapes how Grey Watch Group selects every operator on its roster.
He holds a Master’s degree in Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, bringing a working command of threat assessment, risk doctrine, and emergency response planning to every engagement the firm takes on.
Consistent with the operating standard above, further details of his service record are not published. What he carried into the field, he carries into this work.
A confidential conversation to understand the principal, asset, or operation at hand.
Our analysts map the specific threat landscape and define a proportionate response.
Vetted personnel are briefed, staffed, and placed against the agreed plan.
Ongoing supervision with regular reporting back to the client, and after-action review at close-out.
"We don't measure success by headlines. We measure it by the threats our clients never had to think about, the trips that closed without incident, and the quiet that follows a job done right."— Grey Watch Group, Operating Standard
Licensing requirements vary by service and jurisdiction. We are committed to full compliance with applicable New York State requirements and are transparent about our current credentialing status — ask us directly and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Armed services are available where appropriate and legally permitted, staffed exclusively by personnel with verified military or law enforcement firearms qualification. Not every engagement requires it, and we’ll scope that with you directly.
Every operator is held to the same standard the founder holds himself to — verified military, law enforcement, or FAA UAS certification credentials, with no exceptions made for speed or convenience.
Based in Oneonta, New York, we serve clients throughout the Northeast and are equipped to deploy further for the right engagement. Reach out with your location and we’ll confirm coverage.
We commit to responding to qualified inquiries within four hours. Mobilization timelines beyond that depend on the scope and location of the engagement.
