March 25, 2024 (VPPR) Downers Grove, Illinois – The P4 Companies (P4) has announced that former Executive Vice President and Principal Steve Vitale will now lead the company as its new President, succeeding Larry Doria. The Downers Grove-based security firm was founded in 2014 by Doria who will still maintain the role of CEO.
As of Friday, March 22, Vitale has taken the helm of all operations and divisions within P4, encompassing the highly regarded Neighborhood Patrols staffed by off-duty police officers in nearly a dozen Chicago neighborhoods. These patrols enhance security for both residents and the general public through collaborations with multiple police departments, including Chicago’s, and partnerships with private sector industries.
“I’m thrilled to announce Steve Vitale will take over leadership at P4. Over the past four years, he has played a crucial role in our company’s development and leadership, providing the gold standard in security services,” said Doria. “I’m extremely confident in his leadership and ability to shape a future vision that will further P4 as an industry trailblazer that continues to lead security into the next generation.”
P4 offers a diverse array of services, including security and management for large-scale events, state-of-the-art remote monitoring from an advanced command center, emergency management training, and comprehensive security risk assessments tailored for businesses and organizations across various sectors.
“I’m absolutely ecstatic to step into the role of President at P4. This is an opportunity that represents much more than a position—it’s a chance to lead the charge in the next wave of security advancements for the industry, to encompass exceptional talent, cutting-edge technology, and innovative strategies,” Vitale said. “I’m thrilled to lead our team of 1,200 frontline off-duty police and security officers as we embark on this important mission. And our focus isn’t on Chicago alone; we will make a significant national impact in the world of security. With our brilliant team by my side, we’re on a path to redefine what success means for the entire industry.”
Prior to joining P4 in 2020, Vitale managed more than 15,000 frontline staff for a global security firm and played a pivotal role in enhancing the region’s integrated guarding program, sales leadership, and operational efficiencies – while overseeing an $800 million security portfolio. Apart from his profession, Steve is involved with Strong Futures in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood, which helps to address the needs of young adult males who are justice-involved or face other barriers to stability.
