Our dynamic leadership team, helmed by Susan Ferdinando and Amanda DeAlmeida, brings a combined experience of over a century in law enforcement, security management, and training. The handover of reins from Joseph Ferdinando, our founder, to his family embodies our belief in preserving core values while embracing the changes necessary for growth.
