Our Beginning
Legacy Life Security Solutions, LLC begin in response to a need to provide SROs for the Muncie Community School Corporation. An incident occurred in one of the schools which led to a special meeting being called by the School Board President. My name came up during this meeting, because of my 12 year history as a police officer and experience working security in the school system.
I was contacted during the meeting to see how I could help. My wife and I began to consider creating a security company. I spoke with school officials and began researching security companies. After we prayed and received confirmation from God Legacy Life Security Solutions was born.
Our Mission
Legacy Life Security Solutions, LLC seeks opportunities to partner with school communities, businesses and other organizations to provide safe, respectful, and caring security for students and patrons occupying these spaces.
Our Vision
Cultivating and co-creating caring and safe spaces for all!
