Our History

Construction Site Security - Morgan Security guard wearing our uniform at one of our construction sites

Morgan Security Service is built on a foundation of legal, moral, and ethical values. Owner James Ward started in the security industry at a young age. James’s first assignment was the care and maintenance of security patrol dogs. Here, James developed a passion for training canines and utilizing them for private security. Under the skillful training of his employer, James learned always to raise the bar and never settle for mediocre results. It was not long before James opened his own private security firm.

Managing a security company with a comprehensive portfolio that operates on high standards meant James needed to enforce a rigorous hiring protocol for all employees. Through extensive background investigations, law enforcement fingerprinting, pre-employment and ongoing drug screenings, along with mandatory classroom and site-specific training, James ensured that the quality of his security officers’ was second to none.

Why protect your vacant (void) property?

Many property owners think they are saving money by not providing security for their vacant properties, but the costs and headaches turn out to be much greater in the long run. Significant damage can occur from the criminal entity, thieves, and vandals. Most vacant properties will still have valuable assets that are easy targets for thieves, squatters, and any other individual with a curiosity.

Vandalism can come from thieves, squatters, and even kids who want a place to hang out and end up damaging property for fun or spray paint their call signs or signatures throughout the property.

Vacant properties, for the most part, if not secured, end up with squatters. Squatter not only invade your property, but they also steal and damage buildings, properties, and assets. For heat, some squatters have even started fires in the building, and the owners end up with massive repair costs. Water damage is another highly reported issue that vacant properties endure.

It’s important to have appropriate security in place for vacant properties. In the long run, it will save you not only in repairs but also in insurance premiums.
