Off-duty police staffing across Tacoma
Prime Ops staffs off-duty police officers, active and retired (HR218 verified), for businesses, contractors, and event coordinators across Tacoma and Pierce County. Founded in 2018 in Puyallup, Prime Ops built its own scheduling software and took it national in 2021 as illuno. We’re the only WA off-duty operator running a mobile marketplace, the largest officer roster in the state, and the highest fill rate. Officers cover downtown Tacoma, Hilltop, the Tideflats, and Tacoma Dome District, working construction sites, traffic control, retail, schools, healthcare, events, and more. Every officer is ID.me identity verified. Every retired officer is HR218 credentialed.
Why Tacoma operators pick Prime Ops
Tacoma sits in Pierce County, with a mix of construction zones, retail districts, event venues, and school campuses across downtown Tacoma, Hilltop, the Tideflats, and Tacoma Dome District. Prime Ops staffs police officers, not security guards, across all of it. When the local department’s coordinator can’t fulfill, we pull from our 1,000+ officer statewide roster. Every officer ID.me identity verified. Every retired officer HR218 credentialed.
