Citadel Security is proud to announce the acquisition of Midwest Security, a Southwest Missouri-based security provider known for its local relationships, responsive service, and experience supporting patrol and on-site security operations throughout the region.
The acquisition strengthens Citadel’s presence across Missouri and supports the company’s continued growth throughout the Midwest. Midwest Security’s operations will transition into Citadel Security while maintaining continuity for existing clients, personnel, and day-to-day service operations.
Founded on dependable service and strong community relationships, Midwest Security has supported businesses and properties throughout Southwest Missouri with a combination of patrol services and site-based security coverage. The organization has built a reputation for responsive local support and operational reliability across the communities it serves.
“This acquisition reflects our continued investment in Missouri and our commitment to building strong regional operations backed by local leadership,” said Clay Langston, Vice President of Operations at Citadel Security. “Midwest Security has built trusted relationships in the communities they serve, and our goal is to maintain that continuity while strengthening the operational resources and support behind the program.”
Justin Kellogg, Midwest Security Chief of Operations, emphasized the alignment between the two organizations. “Citadel shares our commitment to dependable service, professionalism, and strong client relationships,” said Kellogg. “This transition allows our clients and employees to benefit from expanded operational support and long-term stability while maintaining the local responsiveness and service continuity that have always been important to us.”
For clients, existing services and local points of contact remain in place during the transition. What changes is the operational depth supporting those services behind the scenes. By integrating Midwest Security into Citadel’s broader operational infrastructure, clients gain access to expanded management support, centralized oversight capabilities, structured reporting systems, and additional security resources.
Citadel Security, a veteran-owned company founded in 2007, has grown into one of the largest disabled-veteran-owned security firms in the country. The company protects billions of dollars in assets across multiple states and sectors, supported by a leadership team rooted in military and law enforcement experience.
The acquisition of Midwest Security reflects Citadel’s continued focus on disciplined growth, operational consistency, and long-term client relationships across the Midwest.
As both organizations move forward together, the shared priority remains clear: deliver reliable, accountable security programs supported by strong local leadership and scalable operational infrastructure.
