Elite Security Redefined: Nick Lawless Transforms CPS1 into a Tactical Powerhouse
Nicholas G.

Leadership Is War: Weak Leaders Are the Real National Security Threat
Most executives falsely believe security relies on cameras and badges—but true protection starts with leadership that stands firm when chaos strikes. Miller V. (formerly with the White House and DHS Inspector General’s Office) recounts how weak leadership undermines institutions from the inside—even after years in Washington. That’s why he rebuilt CPS1 into an elite security machine that learns from mistakes, owns results, and refuses to accept excuses. Now launching Phobos Security in Pennsylvania, he delivers tactical protection across healthcare, commercial, and executive sectors—operating not as a service, but as a strategic force multiplier. He warns: if you’ve been relying on complacent systems, you’re vulnerable—real leaders don’t just react; they strike.
