How to Reach Steve
Meet Steve Vitale
I’m Steve Vitale, President & Principal of P4 Companies. For over 20 years, I’ve led teams and strategies that protect what matters most—people, property, and community.
From managing $800 million in assets to overseeing 15,000+ personnel, I’ve worked alongside law enforcement, city leaders, and private organizations to build safer, smarter environments. But what drives me isn’t just the numbers—it’s the impact.
I believe real security goes beyond presence. It’s about partnership, communication, and earning trust through consistent, visible results. Whether I’m helping secure a high-profile event or developing patrol strategies that reduce neighborhood crime, my goal is the same: deliver peace of mind through leadership that’s proactive, strategic, and accountable.

I’ve never experienced a security company be so proactive regarding invoicing. Being able to provide a client with an invoice the way they want it is a plus to an already perfect grade. Unlike prior companies, I truly believe I’ll have the support when needed. I could not be happier working with P4P. It seems to be a rare combination these days but bottom line, P4P genuinely cares about their clients and their employees. I hope our working together last a very, very long time.

I was extremely impressed that P4P’s executive management took the time to personally meet with 20+ officers and answers all their questions. This helped to ease our officers’ minds and to get the staff excited about the transition and new opportunities available to them.

P4 Services have always provided me with the highest quality results and responsiveness. Not only have they always shown a strong commitment to me as a client, but also to their employees, a combination that I feel has contributed to their ability to consistently provide high-quality service. I have always been able to put my full trust in P4 as a resource and they have never let me down.
