Pro6 is short for a phrase used by military and law enforcement – Protect Your Six. The origin of the phrase came about when hands of a clock were used to describe the direction of a threat during a firefight. Twelve o’clock was the direction to the front and six o’clock was the direction to the rear. So, for brevity, the saying “protect your six” has come to mean the same as “watch your back”. 

At Pro6 Security Services, we strive to protect our clients from threats looming in the blind spots. That way, they can stay oriented on things that are in the front or the direction they are moving, while we watch their back.
