IRVINE, Calif. — March 31, 2023 — Allied Universal®, the leading security and facility services provider, received the “Patriot Employer” award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense — Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). The company’s Las Vegas branch office was recognized for Allied Universal's support of employees serving in the National Guard and Reserve Force.

“Allied Universal is honored to receive the distinguished ESGR award. Many employers don’t make it easy for military reservists to serve their country, but we at Allied Universal are committed to ensuring their time away in service is never an issue," said Scott Bradshaw, Allied Universal Las Vegas branch general manager. "These men and women deserve the right to serve without fear of losing their jobs."

Allied Universal employee and nominator, Anjellica Toper, a staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, presented the award to Bradshaw and Ruben Sanchez, the branch’s director of operations.

“I am grateful to work for a company that supports its employees who are members of the National Guard and military reservists. I felt compelled to nominate Allied Universal for the ESGR award because those of us in the military reserves and National Guard could not do what we do, sometimes at a moment’s notice, without the support and understanding of civilian employers like Allied Universal,” said Toper, Allied Universal regional manager for enterprise accounts.

“With Allied Universal’s support, we can focus on our jobs in the military while on duty; never having to worry that our jobs with Allied Universal are in jeopardy. The company understands and supports our commitment to service to our country, and with that support we are able to focus on and accomplish the mission for our country.”
