Small family business offers big protection
McKay Security & Investigative Services Ltd. began in

happened to a ranger who had been murdered on a
nearby coffee farm. Unable to find the body, McKay
asked the owner of the farm to give him the job that
the ranger had been doing. He surmised that the in-
cidents leading up to the ranger’s death might re-oc-

McKay then approached his father, Ronald, who had
a small security firm, to lend him some of his staff, in
order to better protect the property and proceed with
the investigation.

for the Caymanas Racetrack in Portmore, utilizing the

new company, McKay Security and Investigative Ser-

McKay, himself, received his training in the United
States and Israel in SWAT (Special Weapons Attack
Team) operations as well as in counter-terrorism and
executive protection. He is also a graduate of the SIG
