History of the Firm

The Company was founded in 1981 by Robert Trotta who left an NYPD career to pursue his vision of developing a premium security organization to meet a growing demand for a higher level of protective services. Following the domestic terrorism incidents of the late '70s and early '80s, including the FALN bombings of a prominent multinational corporation, Mr. Trotta created T&M Security Services in 1981 to fill this market opportunity. T&M was among the first agencies to effectively utilize the services of off-duty police officers in the security industry. T&M also adhered to the highest standards for recruitment and training – well in advance of the NYS Security Guard Act of 1992.

In 1999, the Company was reorganized as T&M Protection Resources by its current Chairman and CEO, Robert S. Tucker, a former prosecutor who previously served as the Special Assistant to the District Attorney of Queens County, New York. Under Mr. Tucker's strategic direction, T&M has substantially expanded its capabilities and list of prestigious corporate and private clients as he continues to lead T&M's growth to national and international prominence.

In the Spring of 2004, T&M was please to announce three important corporate events; the appointment of Joseph M. Russo, formerly the Special Agent in Charge of the US Secret Service Clinton Protective Division, as Vice President for Special Operations, the appointment of veteran industry executive, John B. Goldsborough as Executive Vice President to head its corporate development and the acquisition of Forensic Associates International (USA) and appointment of Robert H. Silbering as T&M's Senior Vice President of Investigation and President of its new FIA Division.

Today, T&M Protection Resources proudly provides a wide range of protective, technical, investigative and intelligence services to a growing list of corporate and financial institutions, property management firms and private individuals and companies.
