SecuroServ

## **Overview**

SecuroServ (also known as SecuroServ Security) is a private security organization that operates out of San Andreas that offers armed security for businesses, bodyguard services, transportation, home security installations, and private investigation services. It is owned and led by its director Phantom Skull. It is not a PMC despite other claims.

## **History**

SecuroServ was originally owned and operated by Solev, and focused on VIP bodyguard services over businesses, leaving that to Gruppe 6. Little is known about how this variation of the company operated beyond what can be told by Erin Grace (who has worked for both versions of the company). But from what we can glean this company thrived briefly but quickly fell into inactivity due to their very niche job description and the fact most of the people trying to hire them for protection were criminals needing protection from gangs and police.

A year later when the SecuroServ name finally became available, “community superhero” and then member of 141 Security Victor Mullins, (More popularly known as Phantom Skull) decided to apply for the company, hoping to introduce a security company that was modeled after his goofy, but competent superhero ideals. After a lengthy talk with the state and smoothing over some concerns about security companies at the time, Phantom was granted permission to operate the company in a small capacity under Gruppe 6, and after working hard to prove it would avoid past problems the government had with security companies, was able to break off to become its own business entity on August 8, 2022.

Under Phantom’s Leadership the company has seen many highs and lows, with numerous civilians, law enforcement members, and ex-military passing through its employment offices with minimal controversies, and has found a comfy spot within San Andreas as one of its premier civilian security companies.

Its most notable and frequent contractor is the San Andreas branch United States Secret Service, who have hired SecuroServ multiple times as supplemental security to help in the protection of the Governor during low agent activity moments and as additional bodyguards for certain individuals tied to the Governor but outside of USSS’ protectee guidelines such as campaign staff, family, and pets.

## **Business Location**

SecuroServ own and operate out of a small office @579. The office contains 2 office's, a security room/armoury and a garage, SecuroServ since buying it have added a helipad.

## **Company overview**

SecuroServ operates a bit differently from the average security company such as their sister group Gruppe 6. While they offer typical private security services for businesses, properties, and people they do so a bit more armed than you’d expect. Many have compared SecuroServ’s aesthetics and firepower to that of the infamous PMC Merryweather Security; preferring more tactical uniforms, body armour, and being looser with rifle-usage for contracts when needed. Despite the many jokes about SecuroServ being “a borderline PMC” they have always held themselves to state and federal laws, and maintain a strong sense of morals with the contracts they take, refusing to operate for known criminals nor performing illegal acts on the job.

SecuroServ has a number of organized departments within their company:

**General Security Dept**: The backbone and most-staffed part of SecuroServ. This group is made up of armed private security specialists who offer their services to many businesses, properties and events. Their loadout is primarily a sidearm and less-than-lethal, but qualified agents also have access to heavier guns as needed and with proper permission.

**VIP Protection Dept:** A much more well-dressed group that focuses on personal protection of paying individuals, focusing on professional and effective bodyguard duties and VIP transport.

**Private Investigations Dept.**: A team of licensed private investigators who perform investigative services for paying civilians (within legal parameters) , who do their best to work with the police when encountering criminal acts on their contracts.

**S.P.E.A.R. Unit**: Standing for “Special Protection Enforcement & Advanced Rescue,” this highly restricted unit is made up of SecuroSev’s best and most trustworthy agents. They’re a much more tactical looking security force made for more discreet and high-risk contracts that may pose a much more dangerous risk to the General Security Dept, and are under heavy activation restrictions.
**Technician Unit**: A team of skilled technicians and engineers who handle the installation and maintenance on the company’s branded CCTV and alarm systems.

## **Vehicle Fleet**

SecuroServ fields a sizable fleet of security vehicles that, while a bit lacking compared to their LEO counterparts, are still nothing to sneeze at as far as protection. They have a number of patrol cars made up of different Buffalos, Bison trucks, a number of SUVs with the Alamo and Scout being their most iconic vehicles, and a security granger.

They also have a handful of specialty vehicles for transport duties such as their technician pony van, boxville, and armoured stockade. They also have access to a maverick helicopter for VIP transport and occasional volunteer rescue situations.

## **Notable Contracts (Dreams)**

SecuroServ has held many contracts and jobs with companies and individuals throughout the state, with their most notable contractors being The United States Secret Service, Vapid Dealership and their many sister properties, Void Dynamics, Flux Technologies, Sully’s Pool Hall, Tequilala, Irish Pub, Bean Machine, the Dept. of Natural Resources, and many others.

### **The Predator Incident**

While promoting the business in Sandy Shores, they attempted to set up a safe zone at Sandy Airfield during the storm, but becoming suspicious of the fully armed National Guardsmen rolling around for “disaster relief.” They were unfortunately killed en-mass by the alien hunter the Predator when he launched a rocket at them, killing all but one, and slaughtering the surviving member when assaulting Sandy Shores Police Dept.

### **Skinwalker Saga**

SecuroServ and the early prototype of their S.P.E.A.R. Unit were contracted by Flux Technologies to protect their private island while they ran experiments on a dangerous pathogen. The island was assaulted by armed members of the infamous Skinwalker cult. While SecuroServ fought valiantly and crippled the cult’s numbers, they were unfortunately overwhelmed, and their client was subsequently murdered and the pathogen stolen.

The surviving members reached Los Santos just as the Cult launched the final phase of their plot. The remains of SecuroServ rallied with the San Andreas Fire Dept. and helped protect FD and patients at the hospital who were suffering from the effects of the cult’s gas attack. They were present when the cult’s monster “the Skinwalker” attacked. While the remaining SecuroServ agents were slaughtered, they valiantly battled the beast and kept its attention on themselves, allowing several civilians and firefighters to escape to safety.

### **Death Encounters**

The company had many run-ins with the sour and sarcastic agent of the afterlife Death. Most notably when the spectre came for the life of SecuroServ’s owner Phantom. Although they tried to escape, Death eventually collected Phantom’s soul. Thankfully while down in the River Stix Phantom was able to speak to management and find out that his soul was collected due to a clerical error, and that Death was actually after a Victor Mullins who lived in Ohio. After signing some NDAs and getting a free extra 10 years of life for the inconvenience, Phantom was sent back to the mortal realm.

The second time the company encountered Death was much more pleasant. At this time Death had been filling in for Santa (whom he accidentally killed) and was giving out presents. SecuroServ leadership Phantom Skull and Erin Grace were both on the good list, and while Phantom got a functioning tank with a disabled cannon, Erin got a rock, commenting that she gets one every year from Santa. Sadly the Securo Tank was reposed after the Christmas season was over.

## **SCP Encounters**

The company has had its fair share of run-ins with SCPs (which they proceed to always forget about after the incidents are dealt with).

### **SCP-076 “Able” Incident**

While cruising through Sandy looking for work SecuroServ witnessed Able rampaging and came close to death with the crazed warrior (which at the time they thought was a crazed Conan The Barbarian cosplayer high off his gourd on meth), but were able to quickly make Able see them as a non-threat and escaped when someone else grabbed his murderous attention. They were able to escape to Fort Zancudo and at the National Guard’s request helped with keeping the panicked and self-destructive civilians also evacuated there calm but also enforcing security protocols against the more troublesome ones. They thankfully were able to do this without committing war crimes as what usually happens at National Guard locations.

### **SCP-096 “Shy Guy” Incident**

While looking for work some members of SecuroServ witnessed the rampage of “a tall skinny crackhead” in the Davis area. Meeting up with Phantom (who at the time was Mayor of Los Santos) the beast attacked City hall. Foundation MTF exiled the Mayor, USSS, and several SecuroServ members thinking they were all exposed to 096. Unfortunately they did not check to make sure of this and dumped them all into 096’s chambers despite protests from a lead scientist, leading to numerous innocent casualties including Mayor Phantom. The Ethics Committee was not pleased that day.
