Integrity Security Solutions
The private security on hand for Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025 was reportedly provided by Rockhouse Integrity Group LLC, doing business as Integrity Security Solutions. According to public reporting and statements from people tied to the firm, this is the company that supplied the protective detail that day.
Who the firm is
Integrity Security Solutions is described as a firm founded by Brian Harpole, reported to be a former police officer. The company name appears in posts and reporting alongside several other individuals whose presence that day is not confirmed.
Names linked to the company in online discussion include Justin Davis and Pierce Beck, though it is uncertain whether either was on-site at UVU. These associations come from social posts and should be read as unverified rather than established fact.
How it was reportedly hired
According to Greg Shaffer, a figure connected to Integrity Security Solutions, the firm came to guard Kirk under circumstances he described in a public interview. Shaffer said he was "stabbed in the back," and his account, paired with reporting, points to a last-minute arrangement.
A September 2025 Associated Press report and Shaffer's own statements suggest the firm was rehired at the last minute for "specialized security." Researchers have raised this timing as a transparency question rather than a proven wrongdoing.
A lighter setup than before
Multiple posts describe the security setup at UVU as lighter than Kirk's prior events. The detail reportedly lacked the layers seen at earlier appearances, a point critics have repeatedly raised.
This characterization is drawn from social-media commentary and reporting on the event. It is presented here as a reported observation, not a settled conclusion.
Speculative crowd identifications
A number of X posts have tried to identify people in or near the detail from photos of the crowd. These identifications are speculative, crowd-sourced guesses and are not confirmed by the firm, by law enforcement, or by any of the named individuals.
Names floated in this speculation include Laine Schoneberger (described as a TPUSA sponsor representative from Yrefy who some say "looks a lot like" a man in sunglasses), Dan Flood (said to be wearing Ray-Ban glasses and a dark blue button-up), Frank Turek (described by some as a close friend of Charlie), a possible "Blake Harruff," and an older man some posts allege to be Burton "Butch" Hibbs. None of these identifications is verified, and no accusation against any of them is supported by evidence. They are listed only to document what unverified online speculation has claimed.
