The Martinez and Company Advantage

Trusted Florida
Security Partner

For more than 30 years, our family-owned security company has protected Florida’s communities with professionalism, accountability, and trusted local expertise. From daily security operations to emergency mobilizations during hurricanes and high-risk events, we deliver seamless protection when it matters most.

Local, Family-Owned Leadership

Martinez and Company is not just a licensed security firm—we are a purpose-built, Florida-based security partner with a legacy of service and excellence. Unlike many competitors who operate under national corporate models, our company is locally rooted, privately owned, and personally invested in the safety and security of the Tampa Bay Area and the West-Central Florida communities we serve.

Proven Staffing Depth

Four-tiered staffing model provides unmatched depth, flexibility, and continuity. By maintaining a balanced roster of full-time officers, part-time officers, reserve force officers, and approved strategic partners' support, we can fill every post and respond to emergency needs without compromising quality or coverage.

Advanced Technology

GPS-enabled guard management, geo-fencing, and real-time reporting for transparency and accountability. Maximum Utilization of Technology assists our clients and employees to stand out in the security industry. While many security companies offer the same or similar technology, none match our commitment to continuous improvement.  

Rapid Response Capability

Strategically structured for rapid response and disaster readiness, enabling us to operate seamlessly across a wide range of scenarios. Our regionalized model empowers supervisors and managers to lead from any location, 24/7—whether during routine operations or regional emergencies.

Low Attrition, High Retention

Industry-leading officer retention ensures continuity, professionalism, and stability at client sites. Our investment in people—including competitive wages, ongoing training, and a culture of professional respect—ensures that our officers grow with us and remain committed to delivering reliable, high-quality service.
