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.

About the Week

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.

Security is an often under appreciated industry in which the excellent performance of a security team manifests in the 'uneventful' - a safe and secure facility or workplace. This makes it easy to overlook the important role that they perform! We know that Security professionals train, assess, prepare, patrol, deter and detect in dynamic and challenging environments. We know that Security is there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while the world is active and while the world is asleep. We know that Security implements and operates advanced security technology. We know that when an emergency occurs, Security are the true first, first responders who bravely head towards the danger to protect and help those under their charge. Thank you AUS for the industry leading Security Officer Appreciation Week and thank you to all Security Professionals for what you do.

For one year Adam Jackson in Sacramento California was exemplary. He went far above the call of duty. He found things no one else saw. He was polite, cheerful, thoughtful, helpful, hard working, and attentive. It is rare to see such a work ethic. He made us feel safe and respected. May Adam Jackson be recognized for his extraordinary efforts.

I'd like to thank the rover that stepped in during the period of my vacation absence.
The client was impressed with the rover's hard work, production and leadership qualities that I was demoted and eventually removed from the site.
Thank you again

This is to recognize and send sincere thanks and appreciation to Adekunle O. Ojo. Adekunle works security at the Chase branch on 60th Street. He is very friendly, helpful and greets everyone with a smile. You should be proud to have him as a part of your team. He is an example of true professionalism. Thank you for making my day, Adekunle, and thank you to all security professionals for keeping us safe.

First of all I want to thank each and every Security officer at P66 Bartlesville Ok. We have a great team that works hard to keep things safe and secure. We recently awarded our local Officer of the year.

Wednesday the 14th of August 2019. Bartlesville Oklahoma Awarded their Local Officer of the year award,
During our Department meeting
This year’s award went to Bartlesville Security Operations Center (BSOC) Specialists Tim Parker.

This award is for those SP’s that go above and beyond in several categories.
Team work, Proactive approach to issues, Can do Attitude, Completion of tasks assigned ETC..
Consideration is also taken from their peers that also have a vote in the process.
They have to explain why they think someone deserves it not just popularity vote.
It was a tight race but Tim’s ability to look outside the box and come up with suggestions to solve problems
was the deciding factor. The others were also commended during the meeting

Tim received a Gift card from Allied Universal as well as a Challenge coin given by Acct. Manager Matt Garrity.

Honorable mention goes to Downtown Rover Steve Pittman for always filling in when and where needed.
Steve never says NO and always helps out.

I would like to recognize officer Wendy Williams. Although she is no longer at my site, I expect that she must be doing well at her new Vantana site. At the Converges site she was extremely dependable and a great role model for her fellow officers. When I used to clock out for the day I left confident knowing that officer Williams can take the control needed to keep the site running smoothly, all while completely her daily tasks. I wish her the best for her future ventures with Allied universal.
