Who We Are

At Level Up Security Solutions LLC, we believe that the strength of any business starts with the people behind it.

Founded by Daniel Granville, a retired Chief of the Erie County Sheriff’s Department, our company is built on a foundation of integrity, experience, and a deep understanding of risk, accountability, and trust. With decades of leadership in law enforcement, Daniel recognized a critical gap in the hiring process—one that leaves businesses vulnerable to costly mistakes.

We exist to close that gap.

Level Up Security Solutions provides comprehensive background checks, investigative services, and termination support tailored specifically for businesses and HR professionals. Our goal is simple: to give organizations the clarity and confidence they need when making hiring and personnel decisions.

A bad hire can cost far more than time and money—it can impact culture, productivity, and reputation. That’s why we help businesses “level up” their recruitment process with reliable, thorough, and professional screening solutions.

We partner with HR teams to enhance their effectiveness, streamline their workflows, and strengthen their decision-making. At the same time, we empower business owners with peace of mind—knowing that the individuals they bring into their organization are exactly who they claim to be.

Whether you’re building a team, protecting your company, or navigating complex personnel situations, Level Up Security Solutions is here to support you every step of the way.
