Built on a foundation of discipline, integrity, and real-world law enforcement experience.
Tovey & Tumlin Security has been delivering trusted and professional security services across Georgia and the Southeast for over 27 years. Founded in 1998 by Mike Tovey and David Tumlin—both retired officers from the Atlanta Police Department—our company was built on a foundation of discipline, integrity, and real-world experience.
Today, we proudly serve a wide range of clients, including:
Corporate offices, retail locations, and commercial properties
Government facilities, educational institutions, and public venues
Gated communities, apartment complexes, and HOAs
Concerts, sporting events, conferences, and high-profile gatherings
Construction sites, road projects, utility work, and traffic control services
We are proud to employ a team of highly experienced law enforcement professionals whose skills extend far beyond traditional security.
Our officers come from diverse law enforcement backgrounds, including sheriff's offices, city and state police departments, and university campus agencies. Our officers hold positions at all levels within these agencies, from frontline patrol to specialized units such as SWAT teams, drug task forces, and investigative divisions.
This range of real-world law enforcement experience allows us to offer clients a level of preparedness, professionalism, and protection that few private security companies can match.
Our guards are seasoned professionals whose experience has been shaped by decades of responsibility in demanding environments. Their backgrounds reflect long-term service in roles where safety, coordination, and sound judgment are essential.
Whether managing day-to-day operations at busy venues or developing emergency response plans for large facilities, they've built reputations as dependable leaders in the field.
We possess years of experience guiding teams through high-attendance events and complex facility operations, taking ownership of both planning and on-the-ground execution. Our guards have navigated regulatory frameworks, directed safety initiatives, and helped shape internal procedures for organizations where security is not just a formality, but a core function.
Every guard represents a commitment—not only to being present, but to being alert, informed, and ready to act in the best interest of the client. Their presence is felt not just through visibility, but through trust earned from experience.
