Alpha & Omega Mounted Patrol and Kel Executive Services have a 20-plus year history. A&O was founded in the 1980s by CEO Frank Keller. From a humble beginning as an entertainment company providing horse drawn hayrides and Santa arrivals for shopping centers, the organization has evolved into one of the nation’s most respected providers of public safety.
Keller and his late father, a 40-year veteran of law
enforcement, designed the first privately owned
mounted patrol in the United States to provide
security for shopping malls. Continued expansion
took the company into security for arenas,
amphitheaters,stadiums, concerts, festivals,
Business Improvement Districts, and other mass
gatherings. In 2000, Keller established KES to
provide turn-key security planning and
implementation for clients.
Today, the two companies serve the public
interest by providing both highly visible
deterrents to crime with the mounted patrols
and sophisticated behind-the-scenes security via
KES. The combined client roster includes the
annual Bonnaroo Music and Camping Festival, The
Woodlands Township, Virgin Festival by Virgin Mobile, many performers of Farm Aid 2006, PHISH music and camping festivals, World Cup Soccer, Woodstock ’94, Super Bowl XXVIII in 2004, and amphitheaters throughout the country.
