Meet Our Founder
Rokim Robinson
Founder · Personal Protection Specialist · Private Investigator
Rokim Robinson founded Poise Protection to bring a more thoughtful kind of protection to the people who need it most. He holds armed and unarmed personal protection specialist credentials and is a licensed private investigator, with protective experience spanning corporate VIPs, public officials, and international dignitaries.
Before protection work, Rokim spent more than a decade in mental health. That background, together with graduate study in psychology, shapes how Poise operates: reading behavior early, communicating calmly, and defusing situations before they escalate.
He has led security operations in the United States and abroad, including close protection work in Botswana, and has supervised public-sector projects with teams of up to 82 people. Today he also serves as a lead agent and security driver on high-net-worth details, keeping his skills sharp in the field.
