There's a reason for our red trucks

"Prior to working with Phelps Security, Inc., we could not be assured that our properties were receiving the priority we felt we deserved from the security services provider.  We were plagued with failures of all sorts, no guard would arrive as scheduled, no uniforms and unprofessional appearance, missing guards during contracted shifts, and other failures such as not following our requirements for written reports and utilizing our time clock to signify inspections.  We found the service we needed in Phelps Security, Inc. after extensive research and numerous interviews" - Jerry P., Safety Director
