Magallanes Associates International, Inc. (MAI) is a global security management and investigative corporation providing clients with a full range of security and investigative services. The firm features former FBI and U.S. Secret Service Special Agents, U.S Marshals and police professionals together with U.S. Military, Delta Force, Navy Seal and Marine Corps, protective and security specialists. These former government experts are widely acknowledged as unsurpassed in investigative skills, in the execution of multinational security operations and in the protection of high ranking government officials, dignitaries and heads of state, including the President of the United States and corporate officers and directors.
Services are performed by MAI associates and by a proven network of a wide range of high level foreign FBI National Academy Graduates, i.e., collaborating FBI trained international police executives and military officials with whom MAI enjoys close working relationships, and strategically placed resources and contacts based throughout the U.S., the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. This talented and multilingual corps of experienced professionals, unmatched in the security field, creates a formidable, distinctive and powerful apparatus in security assessments and surveys, business risk analysis, security program management, and investigative issues and recommended solutions facing transnational corporate clients. MAI teams work on a discreet basis, primarily through well-established confidential contacts and alliances. Our specialists comprise experience and breadth of resources and possess comprehensive area knowledge and their language fluency gives them the ability to function as natives in foreign countries.
In these post September 11th stressful times, it is comforting to know that MAI has significant experience in complex security management issues especially in the assessment and appraisal of business security risks, and in the evaluation of access-control identification card and credentialing systems. Moreover, MAI professionals have conducted security surveys and risk analysis at major U.S. and international airports, military installations, in seaports, and at Maritime Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) terminals, in the detection of terrorist threats.
There are critical differences between MAI and other companies who say they are security firms. MAI’s starting point is security. Other firms have to add on these capabilities and are better known as specialists in other professions.
MAI's associates have hundreds of years of government and corporate experience and the firm has earned a solid reputation for outstanding security and investigative expertise. Moreover, the professional background of the MAI staff speaks of the firm's comprehension and qualifications in conducting security operations with domestic and international capabilities.
MAI clients are multinational Fortune 500 companies, domestic and foreign law firms, governments, international financial institutions, foreign corporations and U.S. county and federal agencies. Corporate clients span the full range of business enterprise, among them are major mining, energy and petroleum companies which are afforded security training and consultation in Executive Protection, Personal Security Awareness For Executives and their Families, Kidnap Prevention Strategies and Hostage Survival, Threat Analysis Surveys and Security Systems Evaluation, Crisis Management, Firearms Qualification for Body Guards and Executives, Defensive and Evasive Driving Instruction and Guard Force Training and Management.
The firm is regularly retained to conduct international due diligence, business intelligence, executive background, financial, fraudulent and dishonest corporate behavior inquiries. We have successfully investigated numerous international matters where corrupt country national executives were guilty of demanding and receiving kickbacks and converting client funds into their personal accounts.
MAI technical associates are former FBI Agents with government intelligence experience in specialized electronic and computer security inspection training, methods and operations. As MAI associates, they are now teamed to combat Corporate Espionage, Economic Spying and Penetration of Computer Systems by hostile intruders and hackers. Our technical experts have conducted technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) inspections abroad for corporations and for newly elected governments.
MAI has responded to several international kidnap scenarios and we have furnished consultation services and bilingual hostage negotiators to negotiate ransom demands with kidnappers. In every case where ransoms were paid, the amounts paid were less than originally demanded and the victims were returned unharmed.
The firm specializes in the training and implementation of high-security executive protection programs. MAI associates have instructed at the FBI and U.S. Secret Service Academies, the FBI National Academy, U.S. Military Training Academies, and at U.S. and foreign Police Academies.
All MAI associates have extensive academic training relevant to the subject areas of our clients. These include attorneys, certified public accountants and others possessing post graduate degrees. The firm draws upon the rich diversity of its associates and on their practical experience as former government law enforcement members and they maintain the highest standards of ethics, propriety and professionalism. All have held positions of trust and confidence in their respective agencies. Additionally, MAI professionals possess sterling credentials regarding character, loyalty and integrity.
We are accustomed to working within the structure and guidelines required by corporate clients and their General Counsel. MAI always conducts security operations and investigations professionally, ethically and legally and we are consciously aware that all clients are very concerned with their image and reputation domestically and overseas. MAI, therefore, performs all security and investigative tasks with sensitivity and discretion and in accordance with all municipal, county, state, federal and international laws.
