History

Founding

T&M was founded in 1981 as T&M Protection Services by Robert Trotta and John Molloy, both former NYPD detectives. T&M was one of the first security firms in New York City to utilize the services of off-duty police officers.[4]

Reorganization

In 1999, T&M Protection Services was reorganized by current chairman and CEO Robert S. Tucker. Since then, Tucker has led the expansion of the company’s offerings, hiring experts who are former prosecutors and lawyers; previous members of federal, state and local law enforcement; and private sector security and intelligence experts to head each distinct unit.[5][4]

Restructuring and Investment by Pegasus

In 2007, T&M restructured itself as a limited liability company and sold a minority interest to Pegasus Capital Advisors and another private investor.[6]

Creation of T&M Israel

In 2008, T&M and Pegasus commenced a plan to invest jointly in acquisitions of security companies in Israel. This resulted in the creation of T&M Protection Resources Holdings Israel Ltd, becoming the largest security and cleaning service company in the country with over 14,000 employees.

Sales to Universal Protection and MSA Security

In 2012, T&M divested its U.S. security guard service business to Universal Protective Services and divested its Explosive Detection Canine operation to MSA Security.[7][8]

Federal Trade Commission settlement

In 2020, the Federal Trade Commission voted 5-0 to finalize a settlement over allegations that T&M misrepresented its participation in and compliance with the EU–US Privacy Shield framework.[9]
