Portland Security and Protection

It is with profound sadness that we pause and offer our heartfelt condolences to the family of Portland Security and Protection co-founder and Managing Partner, John Shumate. John passed away very suddenly this weekend of natural causes while traveling for a family event.

His mark upon PSP, as well as the broader MIP Security Services family, as well as his colleagues throughout the United States on crisis response and disaster response contracts was immeasurable. We will miss John’s larger than life presence, infectious smile and guidance as a critical leader in our organization and in our personal interactions. John’s exceptional experience, along with his depth of humanity and leadership in our industry will be dearly missed at MIP and PSP.

Great read from our blog.
