Who We Are

Mike Garcia Merchant Security, LLC (MGMS) was founded as 'Merchant Police' in 1941 by Mike Garcia Sr. During our eighty years in business, we have developed an appreciation for the valuable human resources that put themselves in harm’s way for the protection of others. At MGMS, we treat these valuable human resources with the respect and professionalism they have earned. Our success is due, in large part, to our management planning that has evolved to include information and technology support. We are committed to deliver comprehensive, integrated security services unequaled in professional quality and responsiveness.
