About us
Built by Security Professionals. Driven by Excellence.
Blue Raven Armored was founded by seasoned security professionals with one clear goal: to deliver a higher standard of private security and armored transport services. Born out of frustration with mediocrity in the industry, we created a company where quality, accountability, and client satisfaction come first, not just sales quotas.
Our Mission
To provide secure, efficient & discreet armored transportation services that protect our clients’ people, property & peace of mind.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of Blue Raven Armored is our firm belief in a proactive stance towards risk management and security. Instead of merely reacting, we anticipate and prepare for potential security challenges however unforeseen they might be. Our experienced team collaborates thoroughly with our clients, carefully assessing risks, threats, and vulnerabilities. From there, we design a personalized strategy, ensuring not just protection, but also peace of mind, protecting you, your loved ones, and your assets.
Our Difference in Armored Services
At Blue Raven Armored, we’re not chasing volume. We’re focused on a perfect fit. We don’t accept every client who inquires, and we’re proud of that. If we believe another company or even an in-house solution would better suit your needs, we’ll tell you. Honesty comes before sales.
We also don’t run a top-heavy structure. We hire people with real leadership skills, not just titles. That means you won’t have to chase down management to ask a question, solve a problem, or require a suggestion, our team is empowered and ready to respond directly.
If you’re in our niche, whether it’s high-value asset protection, secure medical transport, or event logistics, and you’re looking for something beyond the industry status quo, we’re ready to talk.
Honesty and Safety Over Salesmanship

With a distinguished 15-year career in Protective Services and Investigations, Michael Niner stands out as a dedicated professional who consistently seeks innovative challenges in the security domain. His rapid and apt response to dynamic situations, combined with his sound judgment and critical thinking, makes him a trusted professional in the industry. Michael’s strong interpersonal and leadership skills further enable him to seamlessly interact with individuals from varied backgrounds.
Michael’s educational journey began at NVCC’s Administration of Justices program, leading him to the esteemed Eastern Kentucky University’s Police Studies program, ranked among the top three Criminal Justice Programs in the U.S. In addition, he is an Executive Security International Graduate, where he was awarded Honors in both the Close Protection Specialist (CPS) and Protective Security Detail (PSD) programs.

His extensive professional repertoire encompasses a breadth of security dimensions, including Investigations (13+ years), Executive Protection (12+ years), Armed Security Officer (15+ years), Supervisorial Roles (15+ years), and Emergency Response (10+ years). Michael’s unwavering commitment to the security sector was evident in his role as the Personal Protection Specialist Representative to the Virginia Criminal Justice Services Board, where he offered counsel on Personal Protection protocols within the Commonwealth of Virginia.
While serving on the board, Michael developed and spearheaded a Human Trafficking training report that recommended training additions on combating human trafficking to be a requirement of all registrants. His proposal was unanimously approved by the board and, in April 2024, signed by Governor Youngkin.
He is currently the CEO and Founder of Blue Raven Inc., a private protection and security provider and training academy servicing the greater Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. areas.
