An Introduction and History

Hi everyone! We have recently added new followers as well as clients, so I prepared this letter to give an overview and reiteration of who I am, who we are and what we do!

My name is Shane Camardo and after getting honorably discharged from the Marine Corps two years ago, I saw a need for a different approach to school safety and security. Too many times, I walked into a gymnasium to watch a game and saw the “security” standing in the corner talking together or on their phones, drinking a cup of coffee. I knew this wasn’t an effective way to keep the students safe. Thus, I decided to start my own company and Semper Secure, LLC was born.
Thanks to Sister Marianne at Paul VI High School, we were able to get our start and we have been growing ever since! We are licensed through the state of New Jersey and all of our officers have been fingerprinted and hold the Security Officers Certification (SORA) through the New Jersey State Police. Also, most of my staff are veterans or retired police officers. Though our price tag may be less than our competition, you will not be losing any quality.
The main thing that separates us from our competition is our philosophy. We have a five step security approach that we have found to be the most effective.

1. 1. To be customer service oriented - We like to "get to know" the crowd at your events or students at your schools, so, we talk  to and greet your guests as they arrive. You will never see us standing in the corner acting like a “wall-flower.”
2. 
   2. To maintain a strong presence - Our uniforms will look professional and we will carry ourselves in a professional manner. This includes arriving 15 minutes before the start of a shift to ensure we are in position and ready. "If you are not 15 minutes early, you're late!"
3. 
   3. To be proactive vs. reactive - Too many companies are "reactive" and you only notice the security guards if an incident occurs. We are "proactive." We want you to notice us the minute you walk into the door! We will always be on the move.
4. 
   4. Be Alert, Observant & Courteous  - Our cellphones will never be out. Our eyes will be constantly observing the crowds body language and we will give your guests the same respect we would hope to receive if we were attending your event! I guarantee it!
5. 
   5. Attention to detail in everything we do! - From the minute you walk into your event or the students walk into school, to the minute you leave, we want you to feel at ease and enjoy yourself! Let us take care of all of the little details.

    Make no mistake about it, this is my passion. I don't hire just any one, I hire the right people to ensure my clients get the best of the best. A trained eye is crucial in deterrence and I guarantee you will get that with my employees. I look forward to speaking with you soon about how we can tailor our approach to your school or event.

Very Respectfully,

Shane Camardo
Chief Operating Officer,
