Vetted vehicles, trained protective drivers, and route planning across New Mexico — for executive arrivals, event coverage, multi-city movements, and the recurring transportation rhythms of principals and corporate executives operating in the state.
New Mexico is a market DAW operates in directly, under license RLD PI-2025-0809. That matters for secure transportation because the work involves both the protective discipline of the agent in the vehicle and the regulatory framework of who is allowed to perform that work — and where. In New Mexico, the answer is held under DAW Security's own licensure, not subcontracted.
New Mexico has a Santa Fe-anchored UHNW residential market with secondary-home concentration in Taos and Tesuque, plus film production in Albuquerque and Las Cruces. Transportation needs follow that geography. The principal calling from a family office in one city often travels regularly to another in the same state, and Santa Fe and Albuquerque are about an hour apart by road; Taos adds another 90 minutes north; high-altitude weather and seasonal road conditions matter for protective logistics in winter. Coordination between cities, between vehicles, and between handoffs at airports and venues is built into the way DAW runs the service here.
Vehicles operated in New Mexico are unmarked executive sedans and SUVs maintained by DAW or DAW-vetted operators. Drivers are credentialed protective agents, not livery operators — capable of acting as protective coverage when the situation requires it. The arrival at Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) and Santa Fe Regional (SAF) for private aviation; Taos Regional for north-state arrivals flows through the same operations principal who handles the in-state movement that follows.
Representative engagement patterns — illustrative only, never describing identifiable clients.
Protective driver and vehicle staged at Albuquerque International Sunport or Santa Fe Regional, secured ride to a Santa Fe, Tesuque, or Las Campanas residence — the 90-minute ABQ-Santa Fe transit handled by a single trained driver.
Secure transit on US-285/68 between Santa Fe and Taos — protective driver, route familiarity, weather-aware in winter conditions, controlled handoff at residence on arrival.
Recurring transportation during the months a family is in residence in northern New Mexico — daily local runs, social and dining schedule, family-member transitions, gallery and Plaza outings.
Talent and executive transportation during film production work — early-morning crew calls, late-night wrap returns, principal coverage during high-visibility production days.
Recurring secure transportation for a corporate principal in the Los Alamos or Albuquerque area — daily executive routine, secured outbound travel handoffs, in-state board engagements.
In New Mexico, secure transportation involving armed or unarmed protective coverage of a vehicle's occupants requires the operator to hold the relevant private patrol or private security license issued by the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department. DAW Security holds active license RLD PI-2025-0809, and operates secure transportation under that license directly.
Practical effect: when a New Mexico family office or corporate office contracts DAW for a transportation engagement, the vehicle, the driver, and the protective coverage are all under a single license held by the firm — not three different subcontracted relationships. Documentation, credentialing, and insurance flow through one engagement letter.
Yes. DAW Security holds active license RLD PI-2025-0809 issued by the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department. Secure transportation in New Mexico — armed or unarmed protective coverage of vehicle occupants — is performed under that license directly, not subcontracted.
Unmarked executive sedans and SUVs, maintained on a recurring service schedule and matched to the principal's preferences. For elevated-threat periods or specific principals, armored options are coordinated. Vehicle ownership and operation stay with DAW; the principal isn't responsible for fleet management or maintenance.
Yes — driver continuity is a standard feature of recurring secure transportation in New Mexico. The same trained driver, the same vehicle, on the principal's routine. Vacation and rotation coverage is handled in the background by the operations principal coordinating the engagement, not surfaced to the principal.
For existing clients with a known operating profile, same-day stand-up is routine. For first-time engagements, 24 to 48 hours allows for proper advance work — vehicle staging, driver assignment, route familiarization, and any coordination with venue security or hotel logistics.
Yes. DAW coordinates ground transportation at Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) and Santa Fe Regional (SAF) for private aviation; Taos Regional for north-state arrivals. The protective driver is staged before the principal's arrival, FBO handoffs are pre-coordinated, and the transition from aircraft to vehicle to destination is handled as a single sequence.
Every inquiry is received and reviewed by a principal of the organization — no intake forms, no automated routing, no account-management intake calls.
