Our Officers: 

Are selected after extensive background checks and drug screens. We also select our officers based on personality characteristics we believe will be friendly, professional, and courteous. So we know we provide trustworthy officers of high integrity and professionalism to our clients. We prefer to hire ex-law enforcement, military, and welcome those unexperienced members who are learning to be future law enforcement or security professionals. 


Service areas:

 We are servicing the areas of Buffalo, Gillette, Sheridan, Wright, Moorcroft, Newcastle, Upton, Sundance, and Douglas. And parts of Southwest South Dakota.

Chief Operations Officer: John Gillenwater is a former security officer for multiple national companies, a former State of Louisiana D.O.C. Sergeant, a former County Detention Deputy, and an elected Quartermaster and member of Custer County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue.  And has worked in some form of security, public safety, corrections, EMS and rescue since 1994.

Why is Security so Important?

 

Security is so much more than keeping a property safe and deterring theft, vandalism, and disorderly conduct. Security often finds the people that others have overlooked. The person who is huddled in a dark corner behind the shopping center that is hypothermic and trying to make it through the night. The young child wandering around the apartment complex at midnight. The two suspicious guys hanging around the parking lot where they shouldn't be. The homeless person at the shopping center approaching people aggressively and making customers feel uncomfortable and unsafe.


We often see the things that others miss.  There are so many things going on around us that others do not notice, but security does.  It's more than the guarding of property and possessions; it's caring about people and helping when and where you can. As security, we know the people in our area.  We know the neighborhoods and job sites we work and who belongs and who doesn't and we often see the people who need help way before anyone else does.


Security is also about building professional and personal relationships with our clients, vendors, and the general public we deal with on a daily basis. Customer service is an essential aspect of our business as security officers.
