Semper Secure was the security at my wedding this past weekend and they were absolutely amazing. They were on top of every detail and my guests and I felt very safe knowing they were there. Shane was very responsive and easy to work with and very accommodating. Great team all around!

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve reimagined the security model to focus on what matters most: reliability, human connection, and unwavering professionalism.

We maintain backup coverage ensuring your property is never left unprotected. When officers call out, our operations team immediately deploys replacement officers from our backup roster—professionals familiar with various assignment types who can step in with minimal disruption. For ongoing contracts, we typically have backup officers already familiar with your property who’ve worked relief shifts or trained on-site. Clients rarely even know a substitution occurred because replacements arrive on time, understand expectations, and perform to our standards. Unlike companies where callouts mean empty posts or panicked calls asking clients what to do, we handle coverage internally as an operational responsibility. You hired us to provide security—not to manage our staffing problems. Our 24/7 operations team ensures someone is always protecting your property, regardless of individual officer availability.
Consistency across sites and officers comes from three things: standardized training, detailed protocols, and active supervision. All officers receive identical foundational training in our procedures, client service standards, and professional expectations before any assignment. For multi-location clients, we create property-specific protocols documenting your requirements, which all assigned officers study before working your sites. Our supervisors conduct regular site visits verifying officers follow procedures correctly, and we maintain detailed assignment histories tracking which officers work where. Technology helps too—officers log activities using standardized systems creating accountability and documentation. For clients with rotating coverage, we limit your officer pool to a consistent team rather than sending different people constantly. You see the same 5-10 faces rotating through shifts, not endless strangers who never learn your property.
You choose. We provide both armed and unarmed security officers depending on your needs, risk assessment, and preferences. Unarmed officers are appropriate for most situations—schools, residential buildings, corporate offices, retail stores, and environments where professional presence deters issues without weapons. Armed officers make sense for high-risk situations, valuable asset protection, cash-intensive operations, and clients requiring enhanced deterrence or response capability. Our armed officers hold valid New Jersey firearms permits, complete additional firearms training, and carry approved duty weapons and equipment. During consultations, we’ll discuss whether armed security fits your situation, but the decision is ultimately yours. Some clients start with unarmed coverage and add armed officers later based on changing circumstances. We never pressure clients toward armed security if unarmed coverage adequately meets needs and budget.
Every officer undergoes comprehensive screening before hire: criminal background checks at county, state, and federal levels examining criminal history, warrants, and disqualifying offenses; employment verification confirming work history and reasons for leaving previous positions; professional reference checks speaking with former supervisors and colleagues; driving record checks for officers using vehicles during duties; drug screening ensuring officers are substance-free; and sex offender registry searches. Officers must hold valid New Jersey SORA (Security Officer Registration Act) licenses or Pennsylvania equivalents demonstrating they’ve passed state background investigations. We preferentially hire military veterans and law enforcement professionals whose backgrounds already reflect discipline, training, and trustworthiness. Post-hire, officers receive ongoing training, performance evaluations, and random drug testing. We maintain higher screening standards than state minimums require because clients deserve to know exactly who’s protecting their properties and people.
For most situations, we can deploy security officers within 24-48 hours of your initial contact. Our process includes a brief consultation understanding your needs, matching qualified officers to your requirements, and coordinating logistics. Emergency situations requiring immediate coverage can often be accommodated same-day or next-day, though this depends on officer availability and assignment complexity. Long-term contracts with specialized requirements (armed security, industry-specific training) may need 3-5 days for proper preparation. When you contact Semper Secure, we’ll provide realistic timelines based on your specific situation rather than overpromising and underdelivering.
We provide security services throughout New Jersey and greater Philadelphia, with particular concentration in Burlington County, Camden County, Atlantic County, Mercer County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, and Philadelphia proper. Our service area extends from Atlantic City and the Jersey Shore through South Jersey, Central Jersey, and into North Jersey including Newark and Jersey City. In Pennsylvania, we serve Philadelphia and surrounding counties. If your location falls outside these primary areas, contact us—we often accommodate projects in adjacent regions and can discuss coverage options. Our broad geographic reach enables us to serve multi-location clients with consistent security standards across their entire portfolio.
Yes, we handle both. One-time event security covers concerts, corporate functions, weddings, sporting events, festivals, and any occasion requiring temporary security presence. Our event security teams scale from small gatherings to multi-thousand person productions. Ongoing security contracts serve clients needing daily, weekly, or continuous coverage—apartment buildings, corporate offices, schools, warehouses, retail locations, and facilities requiring permanent security presence. We also offer flexible arrangements like part-time coverage (weekends only, overnight shifts, seasonal needs) and on-call security for unpredictable requirements. Whether you need officers for a single Saturday evening or 24/7 coverage for years, we structure services matching your actual needs.
Three fundamental differences: selective hiring, comprehensive training, and professional development. We reject 70%+ of applicants, hiring only individuals demonstrating professionalism, accountability, and service orientation—not just anyone with a security license. Officers receive extensive training beyond state minimums, including customer service, de-escalation, industry-specific protocols, and emergency response. We invest in people we plan to keep for years, not months. Finally, we provide real career advancement—every supervisor and manager started as a field officer. Our officers stay longer, perform better, and represent clients more professionally because we treat security as a profession deserving investment rather than a commodity staffed with interchangeable guards. This philosophy, rooted in our Marine Corps founder’s leadership principles, creates measurably better outcomes for clients.
