25 Years Protecting Michigan Businesses — Family Owned, Faith Based
Alimar Security, Inc. was founded in 2001 by Paul J. Martinelli, Sr, a Criminal Justice graduate of Michigan State University with a career in security and investigations dating back to 1986. What started as a commitment to delivering honest, professional security services to Detroit-area businesses has grown into a full-service operation protecting clients across Michigan and northern Indiana.
We are a family-owned, faith-based company. That matters to us because it shapes how we operate — with integrity, accountability, and a genuine concern for the people and businesses we protect. We don’t cut corners on training, supervision, or communication. Our name is on every officer we deploy, and we stand behind every post we fill.
Licensed, Trained, and Accountable
Alimar Security has been licensed under Michigan’s Private Security Guard Act since 2001. We are proud members of the Michigan Association of Security and Investigative Professionals (MASIP) — a membership that reflects our commitment to industry standards and professional development.
Every Alimar officer is trained, and supervised. We provide 24/7 dispatch and supervision for all accounts, which means when something happens at your site at 3am, someone with authority answers the phone and acts.
More Than a Security Company
Paul Martinelli also founded and operates K9 Research & Investigations, Inc., a licensed Michigan detective agency established in 1986. The investigative background behind Alimar isn’t incidental — it means our team approaches security with an investigator’s perspective. We assess vulnerabilities, document incidents properly, and communicate with clients the way a professional should. Trust us, it makes a difference!
When you hire Alimar, you’re not getting a staffing agency that places warm bodies at posts. You’re getting 40 years of experience, a local ownership team that answers your calls, and officers who know their work reflects on this company personally.
Our Core Values
Trust. Faith. Honesty. Accountability. Fair pricing. These aren’t marketing words for us — they are the standard we hold ourselves to every day. We believe security is a service built on relationships, and relationships are built on doing what you say you’re going to do.
Why Local Matters
National security chains can’t offer what we offer. They run on volume, not relationships. When you call a national company, you reach a call center. When you call Alimar, you reach someone who can have an officer at your site the same day.
We know Southeast Michigan. We know the businesses, the neighborhoods, the conditions, and the clients we serve. That knowledge doesn’t come from a corporate handbook — it comes from 25 years of showing up, every shift, every account, every time.
