About R&M

Practical protection. Evidence you can rely on.

Founded in 2018 and based in Motueka, we protect forestry estates, farms, councils, businesses and communities across Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough.

Who we are

R&M Security and Investigations Ltd provides security, surveillance, private investigations, compliance support and custom technology for organisations working in demanding environments. Specialist CCTV deployments are available nationwide.

We bring together more than 30 years of New Zealand Police experience, over 20 years of senior security management, strong regional knowledge and our own technical team. That means practical risk reduction, disciplined incident response and evidence prepared to stand up to scrutiny.

Every job is built around your site, your risks and how you want incidents escalated. We can provide deployment plans, risk assessments, ongoing monitoring, regular updates and a single security contact for your team.

Our anchor principle

The people and land we protect are the anchor of everything we do. Harm is measured where it lands: at the forest edge, the paddock, the reserve, the fenceline or the affected community. Our officers are custodians of the record, so the facts stay with the landowner or community long after a contract ends.

  • Built on education
  • Backed by prevention
  • Actioned with enforcement
  • Proven results
