What CME SECURITY INC. does

CME Security Inc. (legal entity CME Security Services Corp, registered in Nevada; operating from San Leandro, California) is a privately held, founder-owned security guard services provider founded in 2019 and operating across the San Francisco Bay Area. The company delivers on-site physical security through armed and unarmed guards, mobile and foot patrols, fire watch, school safety officers, and event security, serving commercial and retail property, K-12 schools, government and civic agencies, nonprofits, community organizations, and event clients. Named customers include McDonald's, the City of San Leandro, San Francisco Fleet Week, Rudd Properties, SEIU 1021, and a cluster of Bay Area schools and community organizations including Lighthouse Community Public Schools, 5 Keys, Boys and Girls Club of San Leandro, Alzheimer's Association, and Davis Street.

The company is licensed as a California Private Patrol Operator (PPO #120899) and holds SB 390 certification for school security work. To extend beyond manned guarding, CME Security bundles its guard services with AI-powered integrated security systems through its partner SafeTight Security, which provides security cameras, cloud-based video management, access control, intrusion alarms, visitor management, and license plate readers under California Alarm Company Operator (ACO #8041) and CSLB (#1078195) licenses. CME positions itself as a Hispanic-Owned Business with multicultural staff serving diverse Bay Area communities.

The business model is professional services revenue: quote-based contracts billed on hourly or daily staffing arrangements, generated through a sales-led motion combining direct phone and email outreach, on-site consultations, and a website-driven three-step booking flow (choose service, schedule consultation, sign via Adobe Sign), supplemented by event-driven demand and community referrals. Geographic scope is currently limited to the San Francisco Bay Area with no disclosed funding, outside investors, or parent company.
