3 Rings Protection and Training Services
3 Rings PTS, LLC is veteran-owned, veteran-operated
3 Rings Protection and Training Services is based on our concentric rings of security.
The outer ring consists of surveillance and counter-surveillance of your person or property and areas of operation to and from work as well as route planning.
The middle ring, or what we call the “25 foot ring”, consists of mainly crowd control, building, and resident spaces within the fences or outer security areas.
The final ring, or the “inner ring”, consists of your up-close and personal protection – whether it’s an armed and well-trained driver, asset courier, or escort to and from special events, residences, or venues. This ring is designed to provide you the peace of mind and security you can see and rely on. This type of security is not just protection from what could be attacks or harassers, but also- security for any type of medical conditions you (the client) may have.

The people who have trusted us so far
“I have had the privilege to work with Duane Potter and 3 Rings since 2019. As president of Congregation Agudat Achim, at the height of the resurgence of antisemitism in the United States, Duane and his team were recommended to provided our community with security for our weekly and holiday services as well as various in-house events. The members of our congregation immediately felt safe and cared for by his team of friendly, respectful, professional security officers.
Mr. Potter and his team also provided a group of our congregants with active shooter training that was clear and concise and patiently answered their many questions. Mr. Potter worked with our security committee to create a safety plan in the event that there was an active shooter situation in our synagogue or school.
I highly recommend Mr. Potter and 3 Rings for protection and training services.”

“It is with pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Duane Potter.
Duane worked as Operations Manager for AlliedBarton Security Services from 2009 to October, 2016. His position was recently eliminated due to a company acquisition. During his time as Operations Manager, Duane was responsible for security staffing and operations at numerous sites in the Albany, NY area. These sites included corporate and industrial properties, as well as higher education institutions. Throughout his tenure, he effectively interacted with a diverse client base and workforce.
Duane was an honest and loyal employee who worked independently, followed direction when necessary and worked within the guidelines of company standards, often exceeding them. As my direct report, he met deadlines and was effective in solving problems.”
