1. What does a security company's history tell you about its reliability?

At GuardPower our history reflects our focus.

On the surface, choosing a security agency should be a simple task. You will enjoy plenty of competition for your contract—there are a lot of companies out there. They come and they go; they merge, reorganize and re-staff—but do they focus on your account? GuardPower is in the security business—not the acquisition business, the diversification business, or any other business. Since our founding, we have focused exclusively on providing superior security services.

This single-minded approach has allowed us to build a long track record of outstanding performance—one that is mirrored in the highest of client retention rates. And we build on our decades of experience by constantly evaluating the latest trends and embracing the most useful technology.

2. Have you examined recruiting standards for security personnel?

Start your investigation with GuardPower's stringent employment criteria

The focus of our approach includes an employment history, references, military service record, U.S. citizenship and a background investigation that excludes anyone with a criminal record. During our interview process, applicants are evaluated on their appearance, attitude, literacy, integrity and communication skills.

However, we don't stop with the basics. GuardPower employs a nationally recognized survey. We evaluate aptitude, personality and integrity.

Your requirements drive our process. Specific needs are addressed with modifications to our recruitment procedures. In addition, results of all investigations and testing can be made available to you. You also have the option of interviewing candidates prior to assignment.

3. Is your security team motivated to improve?

GuardPower's Employee Development Program Enhances Performance

When was the last time your expectations were exceeded? A closer look at GuardPower's training systems might give you a pleasant surprise.

We start with a twelve-part, pre-employment class covering topics like communications, legal guidelines, emergency procedures, safety, report writing and human/public relations. We follow up with on-site training and orientation; and we continue with periodic seminars, classes and self-instruction modules.

The key to GuardPower's approach is our employee emphasis. Industry leading benefits, cash bonuses, employee recognition programs and advancement opportunities are the basis of our officers' self-motivation.

4. How independent should your security staff be?

GuardPower supports its officers with a management program unmatched in the industry.

Competent on-site personnel are the most important ingredient in your security program. They are the front line. But to deliver the quality of response required, they should be backed by a team familiar with your needs.

That is why GuardPower provides more supervision and account management, per guard hour, than any other contract security agency. Our commitment extends beyond operations supervisors and site supervisors—administration from field inspectors through district managers is provided with no direct labor cost to you.

Our system includes random, unannounced inspections, contract supervision, crisis management, scheduling, coordination and communications.

5. What does creativity have to do with security?

GuardPower brings both creativity and cost control to your needs.

Have you ever called your security program creative? Put GuardPower's imaginative, resourceful management approaches to work and you will.

As providers of innovative, extraordinary security approaches, we partner with you to develop better ways to meet your needs. We've learned that applying creativity to problems is usually far more effective than simply throwing more money at them. That's critical, because your challenges are probably growing faster than your budget.

Our professionals create practical, cost-effective solutions for the realities of today's tough business environment—solutions that provide verifiable bottom-line benefits.
