Thank You Security

Celebrating National Security Officer Appreciation Week 2021

Each day, Allied Universal security officers help maintain safe and secure workplaces, schools, shopping malls and communities providing us with peace of mind. To recognize their commitment to our safety, Allied Universal announces the 7th Annual National Security Officer Appreciation Week September 12 – 18, 2021. In celebration of this week, we invite all to submit messages of thanks to the security officers in your area.
 

Security officers are hard-working, highly trained individuals who are often our country’s first responders. These individuals deter crime, lead evacuations, work closely with local law enforcement and are constantly vigilant in their efforts to keep us safe.
 

In today’s society, a security presence has become the expectation, thus the great work of security officers across the country can easily be taken for granted. This is why recognizing our security officers is so important. National Security Officer Appreciation Week should be used to:

  • Recognize their contributions
  • Profile the many roles security officers fill
  • Raise awareness for security career opportunities

Join us in celebrating the 7th Annual National Security Officer Appreciation Week. Don’t forget to follow #SecurityOfficerAppreciationWeek to read messages of thanks that are shared on social media.

To honor these heroes, National Security Officer Appreciation Week was established in 2015. Celebrated during the third week in September, this is an opportunity to recognize security officers’ many contributions to our daily lives.

I am beyond grateful for having such an amazing group of security professionals and is a privilege to be their site supervisor, my account manager Reggie H. And his assistant all have been so supportive as I cope with my younger brother having a horrible accident in his FedEx box truck. He remains in and out of critical condition in a trauma icu and everyday and everytime I speak with my sp's or account manager he asks how my brother is, they mentioned at the end of a conference call their thoughts and prayers are with him which really touched my heart. God be willing I will be able to continue to be the site supervisor and work with such amazing people. AUS Hershey Hazleton and Hershey main are an outstanding group of people, god bless and I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart truly am blessed with these amazing people

Back in January 2020, as I was about to board ship for a cruise, I took time to observe the men and women from Allied Universal Security Services in action. I would like to thank all those men and women for providing outstanding services. Carnival Cruise and whatever other Cruise lines should be grateful for your services. You all are outstanding and greatly appreciated. All of you separate have shown what Security Officers can do compare to what a security guard does. Stand up and be proud. We salute you.

In the sun and in the rain, you are there. If there's a need to restrain, you are there. It the student has a cold, you are there. If there's a need to hug or hold, you are there. If there's a need to understand, you are there. Or to lend a helping hand, you are there. When there's a need to trust, you are there. When being flexible is a must, you are there. When the hours get long, you are there. When the students are all gone, you are there. When the duties are all new, you are there. Faithful courage gets you through, because you are there.

I wanted to give thanks to my contact, Eric Fuehrer. As a vendor manager I have rarely encountered the kind of commitment and professionalism that Eric brings to our account. I remember my "ah-ha" moment while transitioning Allied into our buildings. He had all of his deliverables ready, an answer to all of my questions, and a path forward to complete outstanding implementation items for "go-live." He is both impressive and humble. I am incredibly lucky to have Eric and his team servicing our buildings. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have been with U.S Associates for 8yrs and it's been 1yr since being with the Oklahoma branch. Since the merger they really make me feel like part of the family. I love the company. They were even behind me when I was fighting for custody of both my kids in Syracuse,NY. I love the branch I work for and would love to give a shout out to them and say thanks for everything.

Micah Willis who works at Town East Mall, is the most helpful Officer I've ever met. Micah was very courteous, and helpful. I forgot where I parked, and was confused. The officer drove by, and noticed me wondering around, he stopped, and asked if I needed anything. I told him I was looking for my car for over 15 mins. Micah said he'd help me find my car, and he found it within 5 mins. I was do grateful as it was very hot. I just wanted to let you know Micah is the nicest officer I've met. Thank you for hiring Micah Willis!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
