Operating Model

The MGP Operating Model

One standard of service in every market, staffed and supervised in two ways depending on where the location is.

United States, Canada and the United Kingdom

MGP Hybrid Operating Model

Each location is staffed with the right combination of MGP-employed officers, local MGP supervision and vetted local partners with on-the-ground expertise. Every location works to MGP Post Orders and reports in one format.

All other markets

MGP Global Partner Program

MGP designs and manages the program. Officers are supplied by vetted local security partners and held to MGP Post Orders, presentation standards, supervision and reporting.
