Corporate History

Madigan Security Consulting & Investigations was founded in 1996 by C. Larry Madigan who was the former Director of Security for Seattle First National Bank and held various other private security and commissioned police positions.

Initially, Madigan Security served the security needs of financial institutions of the Pacific Northwest.  As Madigan Security grew and evolved, it expanded its services and began to work with many local and national companies.

In the early 2000’s Madigan Security started its Investigation Division, with a large emphasis on pre-employment background screening.  This division has grown substantially over the years and now employs a full-time research manager. We are now considered experts in the pre-employment background screening industry.

Madigan Security started as one man show, but has grown in 20 years to now have 10 full time staff members who are experts in the area of security consulting, protection, and investigations.
