Last month, Regional Manager David Holden presented during the DC region's quarterly supervisor meeting. Topics discussed included existing policies and procedures, recent industry changes or legal updates requiring adjustments, and answering questions from supervisors to ensure consistent implementation by security personnel. Having in-person meetings such as these improves the team's culture, communication, and overall engagement and is a great example of our hands-on management approach. #CompanyEngagement #Culture #Security #CorporateSecurity #GoingAboveAndBeyond #SecurityPersonnel #SecurityCompany #CompanyGrowth #SecurityTeam #SecurityServices #Leadership #DC #DCMetro #DCBusiness #Maryland #MarylandBusiness

A job well done to Supervisors Earl Bradley and Ronell Williams of the Savannah region. In late May, while conducting a routine patrol of a local square, Supervisor Earl Bradley observed a female attempting to wake another female who was lying unconscious on the ground. Supervisor Bradley realized the woman was not breathing, and he and another bystander began CPR while another bystander called 911. Moments later, Supervisor Ronell Williams arrived on the scene to assist with crowd control and to direct medical personnel to the area. EMS arrived on the scene and was able to get the woman in stable condition prior to transporting her to the emergency room. Supervisor Bradley’s and Williams’ superb vigilance, quick thinking, and ability to remain calm under pressure directly resulted in a life being saved.
