Minuteman Security & Life Safety is a leading provider of enterprise security system and life safety solutions. Our mission is to improve security and safety for our clients throughout the U. S. East Coast and beyond.

Headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts and founded in 1988, we offer a full range of advanced security management systems, including video surveillance, access control, emergency communications, intrusion detection, and public safety security solutions.

Minuteman’s 500+ employees operate out of 29 office locations from Florida to Maine, and our Program Management Office supports national and global rollouts.

We serve thousands of clients — from defense contractors in Florida, to power utilities in Pennsylvania, to schools in Maine. Many of our clients have facilities around the world.

We have developed a very intentional design-first approach to building systems that integrate video surveillance, access control, and the right software platform. Thoughtful designs lead to smoother projects, lower lifetime costs, and the extensibility your company needs to adapt in the future.

Minuteman has been integrating security system components for more than thirty years, and we have a good sense of which vendors are reliable. We actively work with a very wide variety of product lines and have supported dozens of others.
