Acquisition establishes MPI-K9 as a global protective services provider with active operations in eight countries
LOVES PARK, Ill. — June 6, 2026 — MPI-K9 Security, a Veteran-Owned Small Business and Department of Homeland Security Designated Security Partner, today announced the acquisition of Fortis Global, a firm specializing in international executive protection and Quick Reaction Force (QRF) operations. The acquisition immediately extends MPI-K9’s reach beyond U.S. borders and positions the company as a leader in global protective services, with active operations in eight countries and continued international expansion underway.
The combination unites MPI-K9’s proven domestic capabilities — armed security, specialized K9 detection, executive protection, and rapid-response operations — with Fortis Global’s overseas expertise in high-threat executive protection and QRF deployment. Together, the organizations deliver a single, end-to-end protective services partner equipped to safeguard principals, personnel, and assets at home and abroad.
“This acquisition is a defining moment for MPI-K9,” said Kipton Bucey, Chief Operating Officer of MPI-K9 Security. “Our clients increasingly operate in complex environments that cross international borders. By bringing Fortis Global into the MPI-K9 family, we can now extend the same standard of mission-ready protection our clients trust domestically to operations anywhere in the world. We are a global company, and we are just getting started.”
With the integration of Fortis Global, MPI-K9 now offers clients a unified platform for worldwide protective operations, including High-Value Target (HVT) movement, close personal protection, advance work and route security, emergency personnel extraction, counter-ambush and convoy security, and mission-critical encrypted communications. The expanded organization draws on professionals with backgrounds in military special operations, federal protective protocols, and law enforcement.
MPI-K9 Security maintains its full slate of credentials, including its Veteran-Owned Small Business designation, ATF Federal Explosives License, National Detection and Patrol Canine Association (NDPCA) Master Trainer certification, and DHS Designated Security Partner status. The company is licensed in 13 states and serves as the preferred security partner for the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium.
