Our Founder

Michael Badagliacca, founder and president of Gulf Gate Security, is a recently retired New York City Police Department (NYPD) Sergeant with 25 years of distinguished service in one of the largest and most demanding law-enforcement agencies in the world. Sergeant Badagliacca consistently managed these dynamic and volatile situations, mentored younger officers, conducted roll-call training, evaluated performance, and maintained discipline—all skills that translate directly to effective leadership in the private security sector. In addition to his law-enforcement career, Mr. Badagliacca is the owner and operator of Precision Protection Security, a highly regarded New York State-licensed security agency that has provided armed and unarmed uniformed services, executive protection, and event security throughout the New York metropolitan area. The same command presence, situational awareness, and supervisory discipline he honed on the streets of New York City are now applied daily at both Precision Protection Security and Gulf Gate Security. Michael Badagliacca brings leadership experience and proven private-sector operational success to every client partnership. This depth of real-world supervisory and crisis-management expertise ensures that Gulf Gate Security officers are trained, supervised, and deployed with professionalism and accountability.
