Marina Security

Shane Allaire

Founder

Shane Allaire grew up in Ft. Stockton, TX and currently resides in Canyon Lake, TX full-time and El Paso, TX part-time. He worked overnight security for a marina while pursuing a criminal justice degree in the early 90's. During this time he was also volunteering for the Travis County Sheriff's Office Victim Services unit. He noticed a need for an overhaul in the security industry, specifically a specialized type of security to deal with marina related issues. He started what has evolved into Sunset Management Lake Patrol. His first customer was Lake Travis Yacht Harbor Marina where he had previously worked for 5 years. With word of mouth, support within local law enforcement and a great track record for catching thieves, he eventually spread the company to marinas across Texas. The original marina that he worked for during college remains a customer today, over a quarter century later. In addition to being a Commissioned Security Officer, Shane is also a licensed Private Investigator and Personal Protection Officer. He is a member of the Texas Association of Licensed Investigators (TALI), Marina Association of Texas (MAT), Associated Security Services and Investigators of the State of Texas (ASSIST) and the Sheriff's Association of Texas.
