Charlie Kirk’s Security Detail
Segment #668
Brian Harpole served as a police officer in Texas for 14 years, holding a variety of assignments including patrol, tactical operations, criminal and narcotics interdiction, bicycle unit, training, and administration. Over the course of his law enforcement career, he received more than 25 commendations recognizing Valor, Meritorious Service, Meritorious Conduct, Lifesaving, and Officer of the Year honors.
n 2008, Brian transitioned to the private sector as the Operations Manager for an elite Texas-based security firm. In this role, he specialized in executive and personal protection for dignitaries, their families, and high-value assets, overseeing complex security operations across diverse environments. Today, Brian continues to work globally as a private security contractor and trainer for non-governmental organizations through his company Integrity Security Solutions. His work has taken him to five continents, where he provides specialized training and operational support in protective services, intelligence, and emergency responses. An honors graduate of Columbia College, Brian also earned a Master Peace Officer License from the State of Texas and is a graduate of both the International Law Enforcement School of Police Supervision and Southern Methodist University’s CAPE Intelligence Program.

Overview of Integrity Security SolutionsIntegrity Security Solutions is a Florida-based limited liability company (LLC) specializing in private security and investigative services. It was officially filed on September 17, 2025, with its principal address at 3083 N Oakland Forest Dr #201, Oakland Park, FL 33309. The registered agent is Ronel Myrtil, and the company is listed as active with no annual reports filed yet due to its recent formation. It appears to focus on professional investigative work, including background checks, surveillance, and related security consultations, positioning itself as a reliable partner for clients needing discreet and knowledgeable services.The company has gained significant public attention due to its association with high-profile events, particularly its role in providing security for Turning Point USA (TPUSA) events, including the detail for conservative activist Charlie Kirk. This involvement has thrust it into discussions around accountability, negligence allegations, and potential conflicts of interest in political security contracting.Key ServicesBased on public records and client-facing descriptions:
Private Investigative Services: Expertise in surveillance, background investigations, and asset searches. Reviews highlight the team's professionalism in handling complex cases.
Security Consulting: Tailored advice for risk management, though specifics are limited due to the company's newness.
Event and Executive Protection: On-site security for high-risk events, including coordination with law enforcement.
No official website was identified in searches, which is common for boutique investigative firms prioritizing discretion.Track Record and ReputationAs a newly formed entity (less than three months old as of November 17, 2025), Integrity Security Solutions has a limited operational history. However, employee and client feedback from platforms like Indeed and public discussions provide early insights:Positive Aspects
Professionalism in Investigations: One Indeed review praises the company as "very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of investigative work," recommending it for private clients seeking reliable services.
Quick Formation for Niche Needs: Its rapid establishment aligns with demands for specialized security in political and media circles, filling gaps left by prior contractors like Shaffer Security Group (which ended its TPUSA contract in 2022).
Challenges and ControversiesThe company's track record is heavily overshadowed by its involvement in the security detail for Charlie Kirk during a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, where Kirk was reportedly killed (details remain under FBI investigation). Founder Brian Harpole, a former police officer, led the team. Key issues raised in media and social discussions include:
Key Details
Yes, reports from multiple investigations and statements from Turning Point USA (TPUSA) executives confirm that Utah Valley University (UVU) did not permit TPUSA's security team to deploy drones or conduct rooftop overwatch to protect Charlie Kirk during his September 10, 2025, event on campus, where he was fatally shot by a sniper from a nearby rooftop.
police1.com +3
Key Details from Security Breakdown
Drone Restrictions: TPUSA's drone system—intended for perimeter and rooftop surveillance—was explicitly not allowed by UVU, as campus policies prohibit private security from operating drones (treating them as a "no-fly zone" for non-government entities). Security experts noted this was a critical oversight, especially post-2024 Trump rally assassination attempt, where drones could have spotted the shooter on the Losee Center rooftop ~200-400 feet away.
dronexl.co +3
UVU's own police did not deploy drones either, despite clear weather and available tech from nearby agencies like Orem PD or Utah County Sheriff's Office, which were not looped in.
kuer.org +1
Rooftop Overwatch Denied: UVU Police Chief Jeff Long assured Kirk's team that rooftops (including student-accessible areas like the Sorensen Student Center) were "covered," but no officers were stationed there. Private counter-snipers or overwatch by TPUSA were not permitted, as campuses rarely allow armed private details on-site.
Texts show Kirk's head of security flagged rooftop access risks to Long days prior, but no action was taken beyond basic coordination.
@_ROB_29
Broader Security Gaps: Only 6 UVU officers (from a small force) were present for ~3,000 attendees—no bag checks, metal detectors, or external law enforcement support. This contrasted sharply with Kirk's prior events (e.g., 60 officers and drones in Visalia, CA).
abcnews.go.com +3
UVU had recommended an indoor venue for safety, but Kirk/TPUSA opted for outdoors to engage students.
TPUSA COO Tyler Bowyer called it a "huge failure" that could have been averted with their tools, while an ongoing independent review by UVU has flagged these as "deficiencies."
modernity.news +3
The shooter escaped undetected, and Kirk had privately expressed fears of being targeted days before.
Comments On Shawn Ryan Segment
Text messages leaked by Harpole (intended to deflect blame to local police) instead revealed TPUSA's team had prior approval for rooftop overwatch but failed to deploy personnel there, despite identified risks from elevated student walkways. Critics label this "criminal negligence."
X posts from @ProjectConstitu [post:25, post:26]; Headline USA reporting [web:40 context]
Threat Awareness Disputes
Harpole claimed in a Shawn Ryan Show interview (aired November 2025) that Kirk expressed no fears of threats from Israel or Mossad, contradicting Kirk's private statements to associates about assassination risks tied to his shifting views on Israel. Harpole also denied personal Israeli ties, despite records showing he served on Benjamin Netanyahu's security detail in 2017.
Shawn Ryan Podcast; X threads by @ProjectConstitu [post:25]
Contractor Transition Drama
Shaffer Security Group (former TPUSA provider) accused Integrity of being "stabbed in the back" during the handover, with Shaffer confirming Integrity's team was on stage during the incident. Shaffer deleted related X posts amid backlash.
Headline USA exclusive ; X post by @CJWARNER19 [post:39]
Public Scrutiny
Social media amplifies calls for FBI probes into negligence, with users questioning ties to Israeli entities and Harpole's deleted content (e.g., podcast episodes featuring him). One X user quipped, "Lack of integrity security company."
X posts [post:32, post:34, post:36]; Semantic search hits on audits/reviews
BBB and Accreditation: No Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation; a separate Texas-based "Integrity Security Solutions LLC" (security system monitors) has no complaints but is unrelated.
Employee Reviews: Sparse due to recency; no Glassdoor presence specific to this entity, but general security firm reviews (e.g., INTEGRITY Security Services) cite issues like poor management and irregular pay in unrelated companies.
Founder: Brian Harpole
Background: Ex-law enforcement officer with experience in executive protection. Served on Netanyahu's detail in 2017, raising questions about international ties in U.S. political security contexts.
Public Profile: Featured in deleted podcasts (e.g., "Return to Authenticity" episode 14) and recent interviews defending his firm's actions. No prior major incidents on record pre-2025.
Overall Assessmen tIntegrity Security Solutions shows promise as a nimble investigative firm but faces intense scrutiny over its TPUSA contract, with allegations of negligence potentially impacting future viability. Its short track record lacks long-term client testimonials or awards, and ongoing investigations could lead to legal repercussions. For potential clients, due diligence on leadership ties and event-specific performance is advised. If this isn't the intended company (e.g., confusing it with INTEGRITY Security Services, a Green Hills Software subsidiary focused on IoT cybersecurity), provide more details for refinement.
Probability of Unsecured Rooftop Shootings With Competent Security Details
The specific scenario you're describing — two very high-profile assassination attempts (or successful assassinations) on major political figures, both staged from an unsecured rooftop, with significant failures in protective detail competence — is extraordinarily rare in modern history, especially in the United States or other countries with advanced protective services (e.g., U.S. Secret Service, equivalent foreign agencies).Let’s break it down with real-world context as of November 2025:Historical precedent
July 13, 2024 – Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania
Shooter fired from a rooftop ~130 meters away.
Roof was outside the Secret Service perimeter, not secured in real time, despite being an obvious vantage point.
Multiple documented failures in planning, communication, and execution by Secret Service and local law enforcement.
September 15, 2024 – Trump International Golf Club, West Palm Beach, Florida
Suspect (Ryan Wesley Routh) was spotted with a rifle ~300–400 meters away, hiding in bushes along the perimeter (not a rooftop, but again an obvious line-of-sight threat that was not fully secured).
A Secret Service agent spotted the rifle barrel ~1–2 seconds before the suspect would have had a clear shot.
So within 63 days in 2024, Donald Trump survived two separate assassination attempts that both exposed major protective failures, one explicitly from an unsecured roof.How rare is this?
Successful or near-successful assassinations/attempts on U.S. presidents or major-party candidates since 1963 (JFK):
1963 JFK (successful)
1968 RFK (successful)
1972 George Wallace (paralyzed)
1975 Ford (two attempts, both failed)
1981 Reagan (severely wounded)
→ Roughly one serious attempt every ~8–10 years on average.
Attempts involving unsecured rooftops with clear protective-detail failures: essentially only the July 13, 2024 Butler incident stands out in the modern era. Nothing comparable has happened twice in quick succession before.
Rough probability estimateIf we treat high-profile assassination attempts as rare events (roughly Poisson-distributed), and the subset that involve:
a rooftop shooter, AND
gross incompetence in securing obvious vantage points,
…then the baseline rate is maybe 1 event per 50–100 years in the U.S. context (being very generous).The probability of two such events occurring against the same person within a single year, under similar circumstances, is therefore on the order of:
(1/50 to 1/100 per year)² ≈ 1 in 2,500 to 1 in 10,000 per year at minimum,
and realistically much lower when you factor in the specific combination of rooftop + same target + same protective agency failing twice in 63 days.
When you then consider that both incidents happened in an already polarized 2024 election cycle, to the same former president/current candidate, the raw statistical probability becomes astronomically small — almost certainly less than 1 in a million (and probably far lower) under normal historical patterns.Bottom lineStatistically, the odds of two rooftop (or near-rooftop) assassination attempts with catastrophic protective failures happening to the same high-profile figure in the span of two months are effectively negligible — well under one in a million, possibly closer to one in hundreds of millions or billions based on historical rates.That such a thing actually occurred in 2024 is, from a pure probability standpoint, one of the most extraordinary security coincidences (or non-coincidences, depending on your perspective) in modern political history.
More Comments on the Shawn Ryan segment with Brian Harpole, Head Charlie Kirk Security
Understoof Shawn Ryan has a large Special OPs audience and they were not havin what Harpole was selling. I applaud Ryan for doing the interview but if anything it created more questions about the assassination. It certainly is fair to ask the questions with the expectation that these esrious inquiries will be answereed. Trained Special Forces guys can smell bull shit and this certainly looks like this guy is a lightweight. I don’t believe him..

I’m sorry, but if you’re the head of security and you think a venue isn’t safe, you don’t let him appear there. You can negotiate and say you won’t be performing outside, but inside. If the school says no, then you just don’t go. He was going to be in Utah again, this wasn’t his only stop in Utah. Just so much nonsense.

His team prolly great in crowd control threat But Not as security for someone like Charlie a high profile individual and head of multi million dollar company. The Problem was not understanding how unprepared they were to protect Charlie Kirk

Commercial drone pilot here, just looked up the airspace zoning regulations relative to the campuses, I knew at the time of the shooting it was not but just reverified. He lied about the drone airspace restriction….. The shooting of Charlie Kirk happened at UVU, but on their Orem campus, not at the Provo Airport Campus. That means the shot did not come from a campus that’s inside the Provo airport’s Class D airspace. He did not even need clearance or to notify the FAA of the airspace he would have been flying in and was in no way restricted from flight as far as faa regulations are concerned. If he lied about that and got that that wrong, what else is there?

for anyone thinking Shawn sold out or is not pushing back enough… he’s actually playing this interview incredibly well. He gives off a slight vibe that he agrees with his story to keep him confident in his own and keep him talking. Then he asks these questions we’ve all been asking but asks them in a way as if he’s super skeptical about it as well. The big open-ended questions and long pauses after this dude stops speaking are strategic.. the silence from Shawn makes him feel like he already slipped up and then he keeps adding more and more into the pot that just continues to contradict his own story. It also forces him to add talking points or scripted responses that weren’t even brought up, such as Erika being involved in it. That part was his defense mechanism to try to beef up his story.. followed by the choked up voice and virtue-signaling. In this interview, Shawn is trying to get us all to see what we already knew without directly asking him if Israel is involved or directly asking if it’s all a cover-up/psyop.

It makes absolutely no sense to me why they didn’t immediately call 911 and have an ambulance come to them! Instead they carry an unsecured body to an SUV and then drive 100 miles per hour to a hospital while Charlie’s body is being bumped constantly. Also, he keeps blaming the Police Department, but he should have verified what the chief meant instead of assuming! I’ve got you covered is so ambiguous!

Simple question, why book the venue if the university and local law enforcement was not meeting the security measures that was required for the client? If you are security for a VIP client, are you going to take the word of some podunk town police chief or sheriff? The answer is no, you pull out of the event if you're not able to implement the security measures necessary to keep your client safe. If they said no to the drone, the response should have been no to the event. If they said no to posting your security detail at positions where your client could be vulnerable, then you pull out of the venue. Did anyone walk over to the area to verify that a law enforcement officer was posted where the police chief said he had covered? Or walk up to the area that they were concerned about at the start of the event? The fact that there were no metal detectors is just unfathomable. I worked for a high profile individual, his security detail would have never entrusted the word of some podunk town law enforcement officer, for exactly this reason. I wish they would have just pulled out of the venue. There were way too many red flags.

Honestly Shawn is not beating the allegations that he’s still active CIA after this interview. Not only did he give ZERO pushback on false claims but he also helped this guy stumble through some very specific questions… VERY ODD.

So…Integrity was formed out of Charlie Kirk’s former security detail three years ago for the specific purpose of providing security to Charlie Kirk? And Charlie Kirk is publicly assassinated on their watch? Shouldn’t this security firm be finished??

The guy says none of this team is tied to mossad intelligence yet keeps his eyes down for a good 5 seconds before lifting them and looking at shaun in his face. That's strange. It would be quite easy to answer than questions much more firmly while looking shaun right in the face. This guy just doesn't seem like he knows or wants to know.

Utter security failure to not spot a “sniper in the open air not camouflaged 200 yards away…” that alone. I mean you are trained security to identify threats but NO ONE in the security detail saw someone on a roof only 200 yards away in all black in the middle of the day and think…. “Let’s check that”. That’s why this is most sus to me.

Shawn, your guest is part of TPUSA’s team…..I don’t believe everything he is saying despite actions he took. I do not care what anyone says and I am sure you feel the same about one thing! there’s NO WAY POSSIBLE Charlie was shot thru the front of his neck with a 30.06 rifle and there was no exit much less not more damage to his entire neck. This is the one thing that my internal organs and experience with what a high power rifle would do & does to an animal with thicker skin and muscle than human. I can tell from your body language you doubt his comments too! he’s lying!

I’m sorry but nobody on Charlie’s security team should ever work again. Their fingers or their shirts should have been in Charlie’s neck to stop the bleeding immediately. We saw the negligence with our own eyes. He was paying you all millions and you couldn’t even put pressure on his wound.

I’m thankful that Brian Harpole did this interview. Clearly it was hard for him, but this interview is helpful to those of us who love Charlie. We need closure, too, and the information that Brian is sharing is helping to give us partial closure. Maybe the biggest piece of closure will come when Charlie’s murderer is convicted. Also, Shawn, I love that you started this interview with a prayer. Brian and his team need lots of prayers for comfort right now.

1. Why were no drones used? 2. Why weren't the roofs checked? 3. Why was the crime scene destroyed. They literally dug up the grass and repaved the place where Kirk was murdered? The crime scene was also quickly destroyed in the Crooks case. 4. Why do so many people think the angle of the alleged shot make no sense when you consider the caliber of the round and the fact that the bullet didn't pass through Kirk's neck? Chris from Peak Prosperity coveted this subject in depth. I also heard a hypothesis that the shot probably came from ta side roof at a steeper angle which seems to fit the trajectory of the bullet better.. 5. It seems that Robinson has been declared the sole killer much too quickly. To be clear I'm not a fan of Candace nor am I accusing anyone in particular for the assassination.

They aren't just accusations and conspiracies if they're true...i dont trust this guy, or anyone that was around Charlie. There is betrayal written all over this case and the facts support that theory far more than anything the FBI has brought to the public. Tired of being lied to.

As far as the text messages are concerned, it was vague as to what chief Long stated he was going to do. What about a follow up question from this head of security asking for details, Will the chief have someone on the roof? Did he mean he granted permission for private security to put someone on the roof? What does I’ve got you covered actually mean? I think the head of Charlie’s private security shouldn’t be comfortable with that vague text and should have persisted. Also if the students have access to the roof, certainly security can be up there.

After reading the comments I feel like I was listening to a different interview. I don't think people even listen to what he said. Those of you wonder why Shawn can't see through this guy, obviously Charlie couldn't see what you guys seem to see after being around him for 7 years. If you trust Charlie's judgement so much maybe you should trust his judgement about this guy.

@Adm-Kirk
This is for you Harpole: The key in this plan was to have Charlie hit just after the moment Hunter Kozak asked his question. That's the first thing to see, that was NO accident. Any shooter on any roof most likely could not hear what was being said over the speakers, ok. Hand signals from a corrupt security crew are to let the shooter know that the last question is coming and that as soon as Charlie puts his mic down is the time to shoot (bullet or not, kill shot or not) which is EXACTLY what happened. The KEY to the last question was to BLATANTLY tie the shooter to radical Left trans groups. This will all make sense if you allow the premise that the FBI ALREADY had these radical groups on their radar trust me. They even knew that this plan to take out Kirk within these online radical groups was stirring for months and something was going down at the university and when. Then factions within the FBI in conjunction with factions at TPUSA, under orders, let it happen with certain factions at TPUSA and UVU even assisting it. Remember Butler? Why did they let this happen...because elite factions within TPUSA were panicking about Charlie's waning support to a certain nation and the 'word' was given to the FBI to Stand Down and let Kirk be taken out. That certain country provided the real shooter in conjunction with TPUSA security. The FBI played an 'accommodating' role in this plan, plausible deniability being crucial and made even easier with a buffoon like Kash Patel in charge. Then agents out of the loop and even Director Patel, bumble about putting together false clues handed to them they are not even privy to, most likely more than willing to accept this new relegated 'need to know' assignment. While the local police aren’t even worth mentioning, they were just clowns at the circus. Remember we are talking FACTIONS within these organizations that are following DIFFERENT orders from a DIFFERENT BOSS. And the orders that this boss gives to these Factions are followed, that more or less is the pact that is signed to get into power in the first place. The subordinate just 'follow orders' they are a dime a dozen. Who would ever blame the loyalty of TPUSA, especially when the FBI has such OBVIOUS evidence and clues from such an OBVIOUS 'mentally deranged Radical Leftist Group' associated suspect like Robinson... We chase the cape, not the Matador, while who controls the Matador remains hidden - until you look. It's already coming out that from a certain IP addresses in Israel several months ago there were searches out of the blue for: Tyler Robinson, Hunter Kozak, George Zinn, Phil Lyman and yes, even the surgeon who 'worked' on Charlie, who was newly hired in Utah before the event, and the hospital...and more. Although I'm sure that was coincidence.

ASK HIM "DO YOU REALLY THINK HE WAS SHOT WITH A 30-06? B/C HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT A 30-06 DOES TO A NECK?" YOU DIDNT EVEN ASK HIM THAT! YOU ALSO DIDNT ASK HIM ABOUT RICK CUTLER. WHAT RICK "SQUEEZED" RIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE SHOT AND THEN IMMEDIATELY HID BEHIND HIS SLEEVE. ONCE HE GOT TO KIRK HE WAS SMILING AND THEN PASSED OFF SAID ITEM TO SOMEONE. ALSO, ERIKA IS LYING. GET ON YOUTUBE AND LOOK UP "NADIA FOR REAL" AND WATCH HER VIDEO ABOUT ERIKA KIRK. LOOK UP ROMANIAN ANGELS. LOOK UP ERIKA'S MOM AND DAD AND TIES TO ISRAEL. LOOK UP ERIKA AND THE WHISTLEBLOWER STORY ABOUT ERIKA AND MOSSAD. I CANT BELIEVE YOU WERE THIS BAD TODAY SHAWN. HORRIBLE INTERVIEW.
