About Fairline

Founded in 2015.
One Standard.

Founded in 2015 by professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement and military service. Built to do the job right.

Our Story
Built by operators,
not investors.

Fairline Security was founded in 2015 with a single objective: build a security company that does what it says it's going to do. No overselling. No underdelivering. No excuses.

Our leadership team comes from law enforcement and military backgrounds. We brought operational discipline to an industry that needed it. Since then, our first client is still on the books.

Today we operate across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nevada. Our team includes active-duty police officers. We provide executive protection for Fortune 10 leadership. We subcontract for national security brands. And we still answer the phone when you call.

Law Enforcement & Military Veterans

Our leadership and officer roster includes professionals with direct operational experience. Not theoretical. Not classroom. Field-tested.

First Client Still on the Books

Our first client hired us in 2015. They're still with us today. We keep clients because we perform.

Operational From Day One

Post orders, staffing plans, and reporting systems are built before the first officer arrives on site.

Our People
The difference is who
shows up and whether
they stay.

Most security companies have a turnover problem. We don't. Health insurance, dental, retirement, and PTO. We invest in our people because consistent staffing is the foundation of consistent service.

We hire people we trust, train them through Fairline's own program, and build a team that wants to be here. When guards want to be there, the quality of service shows.

What Defines Us
The standard doesn't change based on the contract size.

Active-Duty Officers

Active-duty police officers on our roster. The training and situational awareness they bring cannot be replicated with a certification course.

Fortune 10 Executive Protection

We provide close protection for Fortune 10 leadership. The operational standard required at that level is the standard we apply everywhere.

National Brand Partners

National security brands trust us to subcontract on their behalf. That trust is earned through consistent execution, not marketing.

Proprietary Training Program

Every officer goes through Fairline's own training: defensive tactics, verbal de-escalation, report writing, and pre-assignment certification before they touch a post.

Leadership
Founded and led by
an operator.
Austin Seman
Austin Seman
Founder & CEO

20 years in security and law enforcement. Austin founded Fairline Security in 2015 because he knew what a properly run security company looked like and wasn't seeing enough of them.

Today Fairline operates across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nevada providing armed and unarmed guard services, hospital security, workplace violence response, weapons detection, executive protection, and large-scale event operations. Every person on shift goes through Fairline's own training program before they ever touch a post.

Austin also advises IMPACT Solutions on their next-generation defensive spray for law enforcement and runs a certified security training program for organizations building or sharpening their in-house security teams.

Every Wednesday he publishes The Briefing, a newsletter for security and facilities leaders who want straight answers on what good contract security actually looks like.
