What Premier Security Solutions does

Premier Security Solutions is a Michigan-based physical security services company founded in 2013 that provides integrated security solutions combining trained personnel with surveillance technology. The company primarily serves K-12 schools, industrial/manufacturing facilities, corporate clients, events, houses of worship, and government/judicial customers across 15+ U.S. states, with a workforce of over 900 employees. Its core platform comprises a 24/7/365 Global Security Operations Center (GSOC), mobile solar-powered camera trailers, remote surveillance units, and the proprietary MOSAIC Threat Assessment System, which compares individual situations against tens of thousands of documented cases to produce quantified risk scores. A stated differentiator is the talent base — over 2,200 combined years of law enforcement experience across the team, with school security officers required to have law enforcement backgrounds.

The business model centers on multi-vertical B2B security services delivered through professional staffing (armed and unarmed guards) and managed services (24/7 monitoring). Revenue streams span physical security guard services, managed GSOC monitoring subscriptions, security training and certification programs (CPI, First Aid/CPR/AED, Stop the Bleed, ALICE, active threat response), MOSAIC threat assessment consulting, mobile surveillance hardware rentals, Michigan-approved Live Scan fingerprinting ($75 per session), and Site Risk Assessment evaluations covering over 30 facility areas. Pricing is predominantly quote-based for enterprise contracts, with only fingerprinting publicly priced.

In 2023, Premier was acquired by Alpha Video Surveillance, integrating AI-enabled smart camera technology into its offering under a shared leadership structure led by CEO Dave Forystek. The same year, the company acquired The Ferris Wheel building in Flint, Michigan — a community hub hosting over 100 businesses — and established its new headquarters there in October 2023. Premier's defensibility rests on a credentialed talent pool, a proprietary assessment methodology, embedded multi-year contracts with school districts and industrial operators, and the post-acquisition Alpha camera integration that enables layered physical-plus-technological deployments.
