Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, a fully integrated and full-service fire protection, life safety and security services provider in the United States, has acquired S.E.M. Security Systems, a security systems and fire alarm provider serving New Jersey and New York. This acquisition further establishes Pye-Barker's security and fire alarm services in the Northeast, elevating customer experience and comprehensive fire and life safety for heightened community impact.

What started as a career in fire protection expanded to the security sector when owner Stephen Mocarsky experienced a home break-in himself, sparking a new mission to protect others in his local community from similar incidents.

“As we join the team at Pye-Barker, we're proud to be nationally backed, locally operated,” said Stephen Mocarsky, owner, S.E.M. Security. “Protecting the businesses, families and property of our neighbors has always been our driving motivator. Knowing that we now have Pye-Barker’s resources to take our mission to the next level is deeply meaningful for our entire team.”

Bart Proctor, CEO, Pye-Barker, said, “S.E.M. Security Systems developed a strong reputation built on genuine care for saving lives and property. Their impact on our Northeast services will be immeasurable, bringing long-standing expertise to the table coupled with passion for what we do best — protecting others.”

S.E.M. Security System’s skilled technicians will continue to serve customers in the Northeast. Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP represented Pye-Barker in the transaction.
