Core Values

Integrity

We want your trust, so we offer our assurance we’ll do the right thing no matter what.

Commitment

Our commitment to long-term success for our clients and employees is our core guiding principle. Building on that success and refusing to allow our service or values to suffer guide our present and future. We also expect the best from our employees and require a higher level of commitment to the clients they serve.

Pride

We’re proud of our profession. The best way to attract and retain quality personnel is to first partner with clients that:

  • share our philosophy
  • treat our employees with professionalism
  • require a commitment to success
  • celebrate the successes

The results are a dedicated, highly-trained workforce with a reduced turnover rate. This creates stability, consistency and peace of mind for our clients. It’s a service we can all be proud of.

Response

We know Texas and the unique needs of the people and companies who live here. More importantly, in the service industry, we know things happen and it’s how we respond that distinguishes us from other security providers. We maintain an experienced management staff dedicated to provide local hands-on support for employees and clients.

Quality

We will not compromise our reputation with lowest-bid accounts, nor do we believe quality security service comes at the highest price.  Our long-term partnerships are based on providing quality service at a fair price that benefits everyone.
