Apex Security Guards are Keeping Communities Safe

May 17, 2012

Close Up of Embroidered Uniform Badge Apex Security Guards Orlando and OcalaAnother “hero of the day” story brought to you by your friends at Apex. While on site at one of the Gated Communities we provide security service for, one of our officers discovered a resident’s door wide open. We secured the door and tracked down the owners on the phone to find out they were on vacation out of state. They greatly appreciated the notification and arranged to have trusted friends relock the house. They had a big thanks for Apex for bringing them peace of mind in what could have been a bad situation.

Lemons and Lemonade in the Central Florida Security Officer Industry

May 14, 2012

Lemons and LemonadeHere at Apex Security, we really care deeply about our clients and we always strive to exceed expectations and provide the highest level of service you’ll find anywhere in the country for security officer and patrol services.

However, there’s no such thing as perfection and communication breakdowns can occur and mistakes can happen in any service industry. In many cases we’ve worked with clients for so many years that they’ve forgotten what we’re constantly doing behind the scenes to ensure great service.

Recently, the top brass of one such client that we’ve had a great relationship with for many years was upset about a number of small issues and so we set up a meeting. After addressing all of their concerns and demonstrating all of the attention to detail our team was performing they realized they had actually missed reading recommendations and reports we’d been sending and sometimes failed to report issues back to us to fix.

At the end of the meeting a renewed level of communication was set in place and ultimately the client contracted us for more hours every week to accommodate the growing community needs. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!

This is the way we do business and we want to do business with you. Pick up the phone and call today to find out why locally-owned and operated is better. Find out why Apex is the Pinnacle of Reliability.

Apex Security Officers On The Scene in Orlando

Apr 26, 2012

Close Up of Embroidered Uniform Badge Apex Security Guards Orlando and OcalaHere’s another story straight from the pages of how we make a difference every day in Orlando and throughout Central and North Florida.

One of our security agents responded to an emergency call while patrolling a local resort property and found a guest unresponsive. Fast action and and quick response had an emergency team transporting them to a local hospital for treatment.

During patrols our uniformed security guards are always taking notes and always report potentially hazardous situations immediately. Examples include lights out in parking lots and hallway areas, flaws in sidewalks, etc. These reports can help significantly reduce commercial liability issues and prevent injuries. They also are very aware of and report all suspicious activity. Over the years our services have prevented countless accidents and defused dangerous situations quickly and professionally.

Apex Implements Communication Upgrades

Apr 21, 2012

To meet the growing needs of our clients we are keenly interested in using the latest technology when it allows us to provide a higher level of service in the field. With this in mind we recently implemented a number of technology changes including the distribution of smartphones and mobile notepads.

This means that our clients now benefit from increased awareness in the field through every aspect of their security.

Now our staffing changes are updated in real-time so Field supervisors are immediately notified and can make fast, informed decisions and file reports remotely from the field. This also means we have a 24/7 real-time update of emergency contacts at all times to ensure there are no breaks or delays in communication between our team and with clients no matter the situation. This also allows us to be in constant contact with our client’s email addresses to report incidents and stay in touch every step of the way.

This is just another small example of how a locally-owned and operated agency can provide the highest level of service while staying true to our home-town dedication to customer service.

Construction Site Security Saves the Day

Apr 11, 2012

We love good news. We especially love good news when we get to be the hero. One of our Officers working overnight at a construction site in Orlando discovered a fire in some of the discarded materials, they immediately called the Fire Dept and they were able to contain the blaze before it spread to the rest of the site. Because our client had the wisdom to have a great security team patrolling their site they were able to avoid a large insurance claim or thousands of dollars in property damages and significant liability issues.

If your company needs construction site security patrols in Central or North Florida, you know who to call!

Protect Your AC Unit

Mar 01, 2011

There has been a rash of thefts and vandalism to air conditioner units all over the state of Florida. While you may not need a 24/7 security guard watching over your lawn, here are a few friendly tips to protect your property:

  1. Set up a motion detecter floodlight pointed at the unit to deter nighttime vandals. If you’ve already had a problem, then set up a motion-sensing camera to go with the light!
  2. Some alarm companies offer prevention warning devices, check with a local agency.
  3. Some homeowners have taken it to the next level and have enclosed their units in a locked protection encasement!
  5. If available, join the neighborhood watch and help your neighbors keep an eye on things!

As always, Apex Security Inc. cares about your property and your safety!
