History
In the 1980s, MVM was awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of State to supply Cleared American Guards (CAG) to U.S. embassies throughout the world. Following the 1991 Haitian coup d'état and subsequent reinstatement of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1994, MVM became the first private American firm to protect a foreign head of state in his own homeland.
Following the September 11th attacks, MVM received contracts from the United States Army and the U.S. Justice Department. MVM continues work on these contracts as well as contracts with agencies incorporated into the Department of Homeland Security.
Contracts
MVM currently holds multiple multimillion-dollar contracts with the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Protective Service, U.S. Marshals Service, The National Institute of Health and other U.S. federal agencies
