Evolving the Standard of Educational Safety
Modern school administration involves balancing rigorous academic standards with the complex reality of safety management. From sophisticated access control systems and visitor vetting to the underlying anxiety of potential emergencies, the burden on school leadership is immense. At Semper Secure, we recognize that physical safety is only half the battle; emotional safety for students is equally vital to the learning process.
We Don’t Send Guards—We Develop Officers.

Safety doesn't end at the final bell. We provide extended coverage for sports, arts, and community programs, ensuring a consistent security presence whenever students are on your campus.
Leadership That Understands Security
The first person anyone meets at your facility sets the tone for their entire experience,” says Shane Camardo, Founder & CEO of Semper Secure and former United States Marine Corps Officer. “That’s why our access control officers are trained as both security professionals and customer service specialists. We don’t just protect your property—we represent your organization’s values at every entry point.”
Founded on the principle that security should feel professional, not harsh, Semper Secure maintains a hiring preference for veterans and retired law enforcement—ensuring clients get true professionals at every post. From pharmaceutical labs in Burlington County to casino floors in Atlantic City, the feedback remains consistent: people appreciate feeling safe AND welcome.

School Security FAQs
What training do your school security officers receive?
Our officers undergo an extensive training program that exceeds standard state requirements for security personnel in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This includes specialized modules in Adolescent Psychology, Crisis Intervention Training (CIT), and Advanced De-escalation Techniques. Furthermore, all Semper Secure officers are certified in first aid, CPR/AED use, and receive regular refreshers on current NJ Department of Education safety guidelines and PA Safe Schools mandates. We emphasize verbal judo and mental health awareness to ensure our team can differentiate between a behavioral issue and a genuine security threat.
How do you balance security with a welcoming school environment?
Can you provide security assessments for school safety grant applications?
Yes. Our team includes certified risk management specialists who are intimately familiar with the requirements of the New Jersey Securing Our Children’s Future Bond Act and Pennsylvania’s School Safety and Security Grant program. We perform granular physical security audits that identify specific vulnerabilities in entry points, communication systems, and perimeter lighting. These reports are professionally formatted to be dropped directly into grant applications, providing the expert validation that state and federal reviewers look for when awarding funding to local districts.
Do you provide security for school sporting events and after-school activities?
Absolutely. We recognize that school safety needs often peak during high-attendance extracurricular activities like Friday night football in South Jersey or basketball tournaments in Philadelphia. We provide scalable teams for these events, focusing on crowd management, parking lot security, and fan behavior. Our officers are trained to maintain a peaceful atmosphere while ensuring that rivalries remain focused on the game, protecting both home and visiting fans from arrival to departure.
How do your officers handle student conflicts and behavioral situations?
Our officers are trained to act as intermediaries, not enforcers. When a conflict arises, our first step is always verbal de-escalation in accordance with school-specific disciplinary policies. We work closely with school guidance counselors and administrators to manage behavioral issues with a trauma-informed lens. By remaining calm and objective, our officers can often diffuse a situation before it requires physical intervention or formal disciplinary action, ensuring that safety is maintained while protecting the dignity and future of the students involved.
What experience do your officers have working in diverse school communities?
Diversity and cultural competence are core to our recruitment strategy. Our team reflects the diverse populations of the communities we serve, from the metropolitan centers of Philadelphia and Camden to the diverse suburbs of Mercer County. We provide specific training on cultural sensitivity and inclusive communication to ensure that every student, regardless of their background, feels protected and respected by our officers. This cultural fluency allows our team to integrate seamlessly into any district and build the deep trust necessary for effective school security.
