Our Values
Warrior Led. Everything else follows.
GUARDIAN RFID is Warrior Led. That is the value that defines us, and five more stand behind it: Own It, Think Bigger, Band Together, Play Nice, But Win, and Dare Greatly.
These are not words on a wall. They shape how we build and deploy technology for corrections. It serves the care, custody, and control mission-set of America's Corrections Warriors.
The Correctional Officer Comes First.
For decades, officers were handed poor technology that put their safety, security, and defensibility at risk. We built GUARDIAN RFID to change that. Our values are the promise behind the officer experience platform. They set the standard we hold ourselves to when a facility trusts us with its most demanding shifts.
What Are GUARDIAN RFID's Core Values?
Be Warrior Led
Start with the Warrior and work backwards. Earn trust by putting their needs first. Overserve them. Exceed expectations in every experience, even at the cost of short-term profit.
Own It
See a problem? Fix it. Commit to an effort? Don't throttle back; go all the way. Take full responsibility and accountability for everything: decisions, success, and failures.
Think Bigger
Think strategically and long-term, not shortsightedly. Use careful planning and foresight. Anticipate multiple moves ahead.
Band Together
One team. One Mission. Achieve greatness by building collective action and solidarity. A team coming together is stronger as a group than alone.
Play Nice, But Win
Act with kindness, fairness, and respect. Maintain integrity while balancing values and results amid being competitive.
Dare Greatly
Step into vulnerability. Take bold action despite fear of the unknown. Always pursue purpose over comfort and never be afraid of failure.
How We Live Our Values
GUARDIAN RFID founded the Warrior Foundation, a wholly independent 501(c)(3) built on the same six core values as our company. Its mission reaches beyond the business: to provide philanthropic support for members of the Thin Gray Line through disaster relief. The foundation aims to manifest and amplify these values in ways that transcend the reach of GUARDIAN RFID.
The proof also lives in the record. GUARDIAN RFID is deployed in over 40 states. The officer experience platform has been in the field for 15 years.
