Robert Trotta

Founder

Bob Trotta left an NYPD career to pursue his vision for a premium security organization to meet the growing corporate demand for a higher level of protective services. He also recognized that the corporations were changing; whereas they typically had little to no focus on security, there was a trend towards the formation of corporate security departments tasked with protecting company personnel and assets. In 1981, Mr. Trotta responded to this market opportunity by creating T&M Security Services. T&M was among the first agencies to effectively utilize the services of off-duty police officers in the security industry. Another part of Mr. Trotta’s strategy emphasized the importance of maintaining the highest standards for recruitment screening and training – which T&M has maintained well in advance of the New York State Security Guard Act of 1992.

Over the next two decades, Mr. Trotta grew the Company from a two-man operation into one of the industry’s leading multi-disciplined security and investigative services firms. Today, Mr. Trotta continues his guidance and involvement in T&M’s growth and success as an advisor to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and senior management team.
