The Security Business: A Legacy of Excellence and Commitment to Public Service

Posted on: March 1, 2025

Security has always been more than just a business for the Aclan Group—it is a legacy. For the past 15 years, our security subsidiary has stood as a testament to our commitment to safety, integrity, and public service. What began as an idea brought forward by no less than a bodyguard of our founder has evolved into a cornerstone of the Aclan Group’s portfolio.

The decision to venture into the security business was driven by a clear vision: to address the systemic issues plaguing the industry and to redefine what it means to provide protection services. Our founder, Dr. John Paul Aclan, has always been deeply involved in this sector, guided by the belief that crime prevention is a form of public service. However, this journey has not been without its challenges. Along the way, we have encountered individuals who viewed security as a means to make a quick profit rather than a noble enterprise. We have faced unprofessionalism, criminal activity, and the misuse of influence. Yet, through it all, we have remained steadfast in our mission to deliver excellence and uphold the highest standards of integrity.

Today, we are proud to share our story—a story of resilience, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in the security business.

The Genesis of Our Security Business

The idea to enter the security industry was born out of a conversation between our founder and his trusted bodyguard. This individual, who had spent years in the field, highlighted the critical issues undermining the sector: lack of professionalism, unethical practices, and a failure to deliver on the core objectives of security services.

Dr. John Paul Aclan saw an opportunity to make a difference. He recognized that the security industry, when done right, could play a vital role in safeguarding communities and preventing crime. With this vision, the Aclan Group established its security subsidiary, setting out to redefine the standards of the industry.

A Founder’s Commitment to Public Service

From the very beginning, Dr. John Paul Aclan has been deeply involved in the security business. For him, this venture is not just about profitability—it is about making a meaningful impact on society. He firmly believes that crime prevention is a public service, and this philosophy has guided every aspect of our operations.

Under his leadership, the Aclan Group has prioritized professionalism, integrity, and accountability in all its security services. We have invested in training, technology, and infrastructure to ensure that our clients receive the highest level of protection.

Challenges Along the Way

The journey has not been without its challenges. The security industry is fraught with issues, from unprofessional behavior to outright criminal activity. We have encountered individuals who entered the profession for the wrong reasons, using their positions to engage in unethical practices or abuse their influence.

These challenges have only strengthened our resolve. We have learned valuable lessons about the importance of due diligence, transparency, and the need to work with individuals who share our values. Today, we are proud to say that we have built a team of true professionals—individuals who are dedicated to their craft and committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity.

A Seat at the Table: The Mark of a True Professional

In the security industry, there are only a few players who truly take their responsibilities seriously. These are the organizations that deserve a seat at the table—the ones that prioritize safety, professionalism, and public service above all else.

The Aclan Group is proud to be among these select few. Our security subsidiary has earned a reputation for excellence, delivering protection services that exceed expectations and set new benchmarks for the industry.

A New Chapter: Dr. John Paul Aclan Takes the Lead

As the security business continues to evolve, Dr. John Paul Aclan has taken on a more active role in leading this critical aspect of the Aclan Group’s portfolio. Recognizing the importance of strong leadership, he has personally taken on the challenge of overseeing the Civil Security division.

Under his guidance, the security business is poised for even greater success. Dr. Aclan’s hands-on approach, combined with his unwavering commitment to public service, ensures that our security services remain at the forefront of the industry.
