FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions security buyers ask most.

01Who founded Semper Secure?

Semper Secure was founded by Shane Camardo, a former United States Marine Corps officer. He built the company to bridge the gap between high-end executive protection and standard site security.

02Are managers former officers?

Yes. Every member of our leadership team began in operational security roles before advancing to management. Internal promotion is policy, not exception.

03Can clients reach leadership directly?

Yes. Every client has 24/7 access to leadership. No voicemail. No call center.

04What experience does the leadership team bring?

Combined experience spanning military service, federal law enforcement, municipal protective service, and decades of security operations across the tri-state region.

05Is Semper Secure licensed and insured?

Yes. Semper Secure holds New Jersey Security Officer license #1933, operates under Pennsylvania ACT 235/120, and is fully insured and SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) certified.

06How large is the Semper Secure team?

More than 250 trained officers deploy across New Jersey, Philadelphia, and the wider tri-state region, managed directly by the leadership team you see here.

07Do managers stay involved after the contract starts?

Yes. Account and field-operations managers stay hands-on for the life of the account, run quality control in the field, and are reachable directly, never through a call center.

08What does Semper Secure look for when hiring officers?

Veterans and retired law enforcement first, then candidates who show discipline, reliability, and a hospitality-first approach. Every hire is background-checked and trained to the same standard.
