"I recently hired Semper Secure to assist with a large event of over 600 guests and could not be happier with their team and how things went!

Officer named: Dave

"Semper Secure provided the parking security for our fundraising event at the Double Nickel brewery this year. His guys were absolutely phenomenal! I can’t say enough about Dave, he was friendly, personable and a total people person, which is so needed in a situation like that. They helped to make sure parking flowed well and were able to direct patrons to our overflow parking. I highly recommend Semper Secure, thank you again so very much for your excellent service!"

"I have used Sempre Secure for security and gate management at my music festival for the past 3 years. Without exception, every officer has been meticulous, utterly trustworthy, and prompt. Each of them has blended in to the event, put me at ease, and best of all, maintained a sense of humor. These guys are the real deal, and the best at what they do!"

"The staff was on time and professional. I’m so grateful for their presence at our event. I’m very satisfied. Thank you Sempe Secure!"

"Semper Secure was hired to provide security for certain events at our fieldhouse and community center in South Camden. They did a great job. The guards were professional and friendly, contributing to an atmosphere of safety and family fun. We will absolutely use them in the future and recommend them to guests looking to rent our facilities."

"The Knights of Columbus Council 7463 have used Semper Secure on multiple occasions and they have always been fantastic to work with and are true professionals, would recommend using them for your events."

"Philadelphia St Patrick's Da Parade security at its finest ! Great to work with very professional"

"Providing security for a church is very different from providing security for a typical public institution. A parish is not just a building—it is a spiritual home, a place of welcome, prayer, and community. Security personnel must balance vigilance with hospitality, ensuring safety without ever compromising the sense of peace that people seek when they walk through our doors. That balance is not easy to achieve. What sets SemperSecure apart is their remarkable ability to honor the sacred character of our parish while upholding the highest standards of professional security. They understand that a church requires a gentler presence, a respectful awareness of liturgical life, and an ability to read the rhythms of a faith community. Yet at the same time, they never waver in maintaining the full range of safety protocols, emergency preparedness, and situational awareness expected of any top-tier security firm. Shane Camardo (Owner) and his team consistently go the extra mile. Whether it is their attentiveness during large liturgical celebrations, their calm and reassuring presence during parish events, or their willingness to adapt to the unique needs of our ministries, they demonstrate a level of care that goes far beyond contractual obligation. They are proactive, dependable, and deeply respectful of the people they serve. Our parish (St. Andrew the Apostle RC Church, Gibbsboro, NJ) has come to trust them not only as security professionals but as partners in our mission to create a safe and welcoming environment for all who enter our church. I offer my strongest recommendation for SemperSecure. Their professionalism, integrity, and commitment to excellence make them an exceptional choice for any faith community seeking both safety and genuine human care."
