Our Story
Our Beginnings
Our story began with a shared passion for protecting people, resolving security risks, and striving for excellence. Our founder, a 27-year United States Navy veteran, brought extensive experience as a force protection and anti-terrorism officer. His expertise spans across the globe, having managed security operations in diverse and challenging environments. Alongside other seasoned professionals in the field of physical security, they recognized a gap in the market for cost-effective, customized security solutions. In response, MZ Security Consulting was born, with a mission to bridge that gap and provide unparalleled security services.
The Story Behind H.E.L.P.™: A Safer Future for Schools
Why H.E.L.P.™ was Created
For years, school safety programs have focused primarily on high school and adult-led response strategies—often leaving younger students uninformed and unprepared in emergency situations. Traditional safety training fails to account for the developmental differences of Pre-K through 8th grade learners, assuming complex crisis procedures can be applied to all age groups in the same way.
​
Recognizing this gap, H.E.L.P.™ was designed specifically for young students—ensuring they receive age-appropriate safety training that is engaging, understandable, and empowering without fear or confusion.
​
However, school safety is strongest when multiple programs work together, which is why H.E.L.P.™ integrates seamlessly with existing emergency response plans, security protocols, and behavioral intervention initiatives.
​
✔ Enhancing Established School Safety Protocols – Works alongside district-wide emergency plans to ensure age- appropriate execution.
✔ Complementing ALICE, SRP, and Other Response Methods – Bridges the gap between broad emergency strategies and child-focused safety education.
✔ Supporting Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) & Crisis Prevention – Reinforces student awareness, resilience, and self-protection strategies.
✔ Partnering with Local Law Enforcement & Emergency Services – Aligns training efforts so schools, first responders, and families work together effectively.
​
By integrating with existing programs rather than replacing them, H.E.L.P.™ strengthens school safety, ensuring younger students receive the guidance they need—without disrupting established security frameworks. This comprehensive, collaborative approach fosters confidence, preparedness, and protection in every school community.
What We Do: Empowering Schools with Safety and Preparedness
At H.E.L.P.™, we equip Pre-K through 8th grade schools with age-appropriate, effective safety training—closing the gap in traditional programs that often overlook younger students. Our initiative strengthens preparedness by working hand-in-hand with existing safety protocols to ensure every student, educator, and staff member understands their role in a crisis.
​
Here’s how we make a difference:
​
✔ Age-Appropriate Safety Training – We tailor emergency response strategies to fit developmental stages, ensuring younger students understand safety without fear or confusion.
✔ Educator & Staff Preparedness – We provide teachers with clear, structured crisis response training that builds confidence in handling emergencies.
✔ Interactive Student Learning – Engaging lessons empower students with practical, easy-to-follow actions for emergency situations.
✔ Integration with Existing Programs – H.E.L.P.™ works alongside safety initiatives like ALICE, SRP, SEL, and law enforcement procedures to enhance and strengthen school security.
✔ Community & Parent Involvement – Safety is strongest when schools, families, and first responders collaborate, so we encourage full-community engagement in preparedness efforts.
Through education, prevention, and strategic response, H.E.L.P.™ ensures that schools are ready, students are empowered, and learning remains uninterrupted.
