In Memoriam: Marvin McMillan

 

Excalibur Security Team is maintaining this memorial page for our former Chief Marvin McMillan who was tragically taken from us in January 2022. After a car accident, he was undergoing treatment until he suddenly passed away. We were devastated from the loss, as he helped found Excalibur Security Team after a long and varied security career in some of the nation's largest companies. He was a community leader in business and as a clergyman, served as Bishop over a thriving congregation. Bishop McMillan was a loving husband, father, community leader, businessman, and counselor to countless families.

We could all do well to follow his example. Since he was the sole source of income for his family, and caretaker of his wife who is permanently disabled, we are asking clients and members of the community to please DONATE to the fund listed below to help defray his medical and final expenses. We would love to show ongoing support for the family.

As our Chief Trainer and Leadership Mentor, Marvin L. McMillan, Sr. will be profoundly missed.

Please donate to his memorial fund

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

FAQs

   

Excalibur Security Team gets asked similar questions by every potential client:

1. How can your services be better than other companies? Aren't all armed officers and guards the same?

A: We strive to keep our staff updated and informed. We require ongoing training. Not just a two week course in weapons, but ongoing live training for every type of situation. This translates to better prepared, more capable armed officer staff. Our chief trainer has held top level security posts with Fortune 500 firms. Our ownership has both military and civilian experience in the full range of security, equipment, investigations and protective services. Their world of knowledge helps keep our officers in top form.

2. Other companies want to lock me in for a year or more. You said you offer short-term contracts. How short?

A: As short as you need. We are so confident in our capabilities, we don't need to lock you in to a long-term commitment. There are many firms out there in transition, moving, consolidating, or sites that are temporary such as construction or special events. Larger companies always want you to agree to their terms. At Excalibur, we believe our relationship, built on trust and confidence, will ultimately see you deciding to engage us continuously for security, armed officers, patrols and evaluations. But for truly short-term or seasonal needs, we are there for you.

3. How does your pricing compare to other firms?

A: You get what you pay for is the old adage. Sincerely, we are going to beat the pricing of some firms and not others. It also depends on our recommendations. Be sure you are comparing apples and apples. Some companies will cut corners in providing less than ideal services but tout their lower price. It is lower because you are substantially unprotected. Excalibur will work with you on budget and help you do a cost analysis if necessary. Remember, our personnel are more highly trained, experienced, and our internal training is continuous. 

4. How consistent are the officers, as I had one company kept placing a new person with me every week it seemed?

A: Excalibur Security Team knows the importance of having personnel remain consistent. They get to know all the details of each physical location, the permanent staff, cars, trucks, equipment, and they notice very quickly when something is amiss. One critical factor in any security posting is having consistent coverage. We strive to make sure our officers are posted on a regular basis to the same locations. We do have fully trained backup available at all times.

 5. What if my needs change over time?

A. They will and do. Most companies do not take the time to evaluate their current needs much less the impact of changes in the future. Excalibur Security Team is able to assist you in the evaluation of current needs and determine changes that may take place over time based on our experience. We will keep you fully informed if we believe there are changes that need to occur. The bottom line is making sure we provide the best possible security at a reliable price.

Security Enhancements


Upgrading Equipment
 

The world of the internet has opened many new possibilities and revealed glaring security issues for many firms. Your cyber security can affect your physical security. Excalibur is aware that some companies use the latest apps, and integrate phones/surveillance and cameras onto their server systems. In some respects this is convenient. In others it can allow outside threats to emerge.

By reviewing your current security situation and how your equipment integrates we can provide enhanced service.

  • We may recommend segregating security feeds from your other online activity.
  • Providing you with a list of enhancements we can make to your physical systems.
  • Annotate areas where armed officers, patrols, and other intervention could help improve security.
  • Educate your personnel on security procedures and measures they can take to improve security.
  • Creating your individualized plan of attack, budget and agreement.

As any evaluation will reveal weaknesses, it is important to conduct these reviews on a regular basis, at least annually. By employing the latest techniques, software, hardware and equipment knowledge we can increase your security and reduce your exposure.

Write or Call Excalibur Security Team today to review your current situation. We recommend, install and test upgraded systems. Toll Free at 1-888-ARMED GUARDS - 888-276-3348

Security Tech Review


Director Ron Mann
 

Many companies invest a lot of money in closed circuit television security monitoring and other devices before really understanding their needs. Excalibur Security Team can join you on-site and create a custom evaluation of all existing equipment, and make recommendation for any new equipment. With so many new and interesting developments in surveillance and recording security it is incumbent upon business owners to take the next step and review their present situation.

Our technical evaluation consists of understanding what you are doing now and:

  • Mapping the physical property, including the exterior lots, buildings, and interiors as required.
  • Creating a list of existing equipment, its position, and potential for improvement
  • Testing existing sensor, key card access, door locks, etc.
  • Determining upgrades, replacement or supplemental equipment needed to improve overall security
  • Creating a site plan schedule and budget 

Technical needs change over time. What is adequate one day is obsolete the next. Unfortunately, criminals don't take vacations. We need to be ready to thwart intrusion and stop them before the can negatively impact your company.

Write or Call Excalibur Security Team today to evaluate your technical security equipment. We recommend, install and test upgraded systems. Toll Free at 1-888-ARMED GUARDS - 888-276-3348

Stationed Armed & Unarmed Officers

 

DEDICATED ON-SITE ARMED & UNARMED OFFICERS

Government statistics tell us that your property is 15-20 times less likely to be subject to criminal activity when armed officers are stationed on-site. Unarmed protection is also available but in most cases you are better served by stationing a dedicated armed office.

Criminals will tell you that the last person they want to encounter when attempting to commit crimes is an armed officer. Most criminals do not want to confront armed personnel, so they will consciously avoid worksites, construction sites, stores, corporate offices, clubs, special events, neighborhoods and areas where armed officers are present.

With as unpredictable as our lives have become in recent months, it only makes sense to explore your options for armed security. If you own or operate a business, whether you collaborate with others in your strip mall location, or you simply directly contract with Excalibur Security Team, we can provide the kind of tailored on-site armed officers capable of protecting your investment. For places where your personnel are more likely to be on-site during our scheduled hours, like healthcare and educational institutions, we promote good customer service. We train our officers to look for critical issues like unwanted guests, intrusive behavior, disgruntled employees, with emphasis on stopping issues before they become unmanageable.

Our ownership has many years of experience in the military and law enforcement, so they are fully capable of training all of our personnel in-house, to ensure they meet more rigorous standards. Constant observation is more than just sitting idly by waiting for something to happen. Getting to know the patrol location, the flow of business and staff, and other details which can alert us to trouble are key to providing excellent security service.

Besides the psychological deterrent that an armed officer presents, they are capable of interdicting where recommended and stopping criminal activity by detaining and arresting individuals. For groups or mobs, an individual officer is still a valuable tool. They can position themselves to wait for back up, continuously observing, reporting and following a group intent on property destruction. Excalibur Security Team is networked, and able to reach out to local law enforcement for immediate response to more intense situations.

It only makes sense to provide greater security for work crews, buildings and assets, neighborhoods and other targets of criminal activity. Better training means better response, and more security for your lives and livelihoods. 

For more information about armed officer services available in your area, please fill out our email contact form on the CONTACT page, or CALL Excalibur Security Team today toll-free at 888-276-3348 and we will work with you to evaluate your security needs, and create the best way to address them within budget.

Vehicle Patrols with Armed Officers

 

SCHEDULED PATROLS USING ARMED OFFICERS

The average criminal does not want to ever encounter an officer or be seen committing crimes. In addition to Excalibur Security Team technological reviews, we offer consistent rotating armed officer patrols for a wide range of property types. Whether a group of retail stores in a commercial strip mall wants to have daily and nightly patrols, or your Homeowner's Association wants more frequent security patrol drive-bys, Excalibur Security Team can arrange our schedule to meet your specific needs.

Every site is different. From construction equipment left overnight on vacant land, to corporate offices housing valuables, or neighborhoods experiencing an upturn in violence, Excalibur Security Team has the knowledge and ability to work with you to create an effective criminal deterrent. 

Our security staff is trained by former military and law enforcement personnel with decades of experience dealing with situations we might encounter. We use continuous process improvement to help educate our officers on the latest techniques for observing and interdicting trouble when confrontation arises. We are trained in de-escalation techniques, but when we observe a wholly criminal act we will immediately involve local authorities.

Excalibur Security Team uses modern equipment so we are always linked together and able to respond to threats quickly. 

For more information about patrols available in your area, please fill out our email contact form on the CONTACT page, or CALL Excalibur Security Team today toll-free at 888-276-3348 and we will work with you to evaluate your security needs, and create the best way to address them within budget.

Short-Term Event Contracts

 

LIMITED EXPOSURE. SHORTER CONTRACTS. DESIGNED FOR SPECIAL EVENTS.

Many of today's construction projects are built in less than a year, requiring a shorter time frame for construction projects. There are also many special entertainment events, locations, warehouses, and other venues where only a short-term contract makes sense. Unfortunately, our competition does not allow you to sign up for security patrols or armed officer services unless you commit to lengthy and costly investments. They require a minimum of a year-long contract, which is not always feasible.

Now you have a choice. Excalibur Security Team will meet YOUR needs, and tailor our patrols, security personnel, hours, coverage and schedule to what YOU require, not what we want to sell you. In fact, we have no dedicated "salespeople". You will speak with our Security Chief or an owner when arranging for security services. 

We will work within your budget to give you the maximum coverage possible. This will help with your peace of mind. Knowing you do not have to forego coverage simply because your don't fit the mold of what your security provider wants. Excalibur Security Team will help you explore your options, and we are flexible enough to alter the type and scope of coverage as a project progresses.

For individual events and short-term contracts covering a week or even a weekend, we will work with your event planners. We bring a vast amount of experience to bear as we also own and operate Dignitary Protection and Security Group. We have analyzed and planned the security for celebrities, sports stars, Presidential candidates, and many highly placed executives. We can provide the exact kind of services you need at a rate you can afford. It's time to stop trying to force fit your needs into someone else's idea of a contract.

Use our email contact form on the CONTACT page, or CALL Excalibur Security Team today toll-free at 888-276-3348 and we will work with you to evaluate your security needs, and create the best way to address them within budget.

Industrial and Construction Sites

 

THEFT. PROPERTY DESTRUCTION. VANDALISM. ANARCHY. ARSON.

More than theft. Today's risks come in many forms. Traditionally, developers and investors only had to worry about stolen equipment. While that caused delays, and insurance headaches, it was typically only a financial loss.

With eco-terrorism, sabotage, violent political protests, and disgruntled employee actions, industrial and construction sites are now particularly vulnerable to a wider range of destruction. In addition to theft, and mere inconvenience, owners face legal issues from employees harmed by damaged equipment. Anarchist attacks can cause major disruptions to schedules and destroy investments. Daily activities can not only be halted, but work sites can become booby-trapped when unmonitored. It is important to protect your multi-million dollar investment in commercial and industrial development, and secure your workers' safety at the same time. Insurance carriers are requiring greater vigilance by owners in order to maintain policy coverage.

Excalibur Security Team has the solution tailored for you. Unlike many major competitors, we craft specialized short-term agreements to arrange patrols and station armed officers on your site for the duration required, so that work can proceed without interruption, and you can rest knowing we deter theft and destruction of your investment.

Use our email contact form on the CONTACT page, or CALL US today toll-free at 888-276-3348 and we will work with you to evaluate your security needs, and create the best way to address them within budget.

General Security Evaluation


Director Ron Mann
 

Before making final recommendations it is important to evaluate your individual security needs. Our comprehensive evaluation will pinpoint areas which need improvement, and help us formulate a plan so that we can be as intrusive or hidden as desired. Our goal is always to provide the best level of security possible at minimal cost. We understand security is just another expense to most owners so we try to work with firms to find a suitable budget they can adopt.

Our primary evaluation consists of learning about your current situation:

  • Mapping the physical property, including the exterior lots, buildings, and interiors as required.
  • Identifying obstacles to proper surveillance
  • Finding hiding areas used by potential burglars
  • Determining best positions for patrol and surveillance
  • Creating a site plan schedule and budget 

By meeting you in person, and creating our evaluation punch list we will be in a much better position to explain your options and perhaps even upgrade your service with little or no impact.

Write or Call Excalibur Security Team today so that your property is secured. Armed officers and professional security planning, all tailored to your needs. Toll Free at 1-888-ARMED GUARDS - 888-276-3348
