Eagle Security Services Inc is the third-largest private security company in North America (right after Lone Star  and Knight Errant ). Originally incorporated in the Oceti Sakowin just after the Treaty of Denver to police the Sioux Sector of Denver. ESSI was founded by retired Sioux military officers so that they would have no ‘official’ military presence in Denver. In return for a hefty behind the-scenes exchange of cash and favors, Eagle licensed the creation of an autonomous division in which ex-Sioux military staffed all of the managerial positions and controlled the hiring. Eagle Security Services, Inc., or ESSI was born. It fooled no one, but it still met the legal requirements of the original Treaty of Denver. Since then, ESSI has spread across the continent, providing security services in the Oceti Sakowin, Seliš-Bukwus, UCAS, CAS and CFS as well as the FRFZ.

Competing with larger firms like Lone Star and Knight Errant, ESSI has carved out a niche by often taking on contracts that the other municipal security providers won’t touch. They have had success in patrolling
low-security and zero zones of cities, often with minority officers, in places where Knight Errant and Lone Star will not patrol in less than fire-team strength. Not only is Eagle willing to put minority officers into areas where they can help defuse situations, but their focus on hiring ex-military with combat experience means that their patrol teams routinely handle situations that would have made Lone Star call in some Fast Response Teams.

The crowning jewel of this philosophy was the acquisition of the police contract for the major UCAS city of Chicago. Naturally, they took a huge hit to their reputation when they ‘lost’ Chicago to the bugs . However, since then, it’s made a comeback, and the corp quickly turned to offering private security for the neighborhoods in and around the area as a way to make up its income.

Since then, Eagle Security has formed shaman-supported bug hunting teams called *Pisko* (Lakota for Nighthawk) that have rapidly gained a reputation as being equal to Ares  Firewatch  teams when dealing with hostile spirits. It is rumored that Roger Soaring Owl, the former head of Knight Errant who is now in the Sioux military, has helped Eagle enlarge its bug-hunting capabilities.

Eagle Security also employs more shamans  than any other security corp in North Am. They have their own dedicated initiatory group, the White Feathers, and recruit heavily from among tribal apprentices. They lure quite a few youths away from the tribes with blatant flattery, high salaries, and travel to exotic places. Not many corporations understand when an employee refuses to do something because it “goes against Eagle’s wisdom” but Eagle Security seems to have made it work.

As well as shamans, Eagle also specializes in providing trained animals to their security clients. They’re best known for use of paranormal critters, but they do a lot with normal critters and they’re exploring the options for technocritters as well. They have been combining their training methods with the use of biological, genetic, or cybernetic enhancements. Their clients receive access to their comprehensive library of animal care and training tutorials, and they provide call-in support for clients and business partners.

Their weakness is that Eagle’s Investigative Divisions are not anywhere as good or as effective as their Patrol Divisions. In response, Eagle is trying to hire former MPs and CID military officers, but they are often in high demand after their enlistment ends. Other plans that Eagle is making includes partnering with Pueblo  PuebSec to create investigative training academies and opening recruitment offices in Seattle to hire former Lone Star investigators for relocation. Their weakness in this area doesn’t mean they can be ignored when you’re in Denver—their best investigators are the ones in that city.
