Security Professional Milagros recently responded to a report of a one-month-old baby choking in a shop at the mall she patrols. Upon arrival at the shop, Security Professional Milagros found the baby on the checkout counter, purple and not breathing. She wasted no time clearing the baby's obstructed airway and initiating emergency CPR until the baby began breathing on its own. When EMS and police arrived, they assessed the baby’s vitals and confirmed that, thanks to Security Professional Milagros’s quick response, the child would make a full recovery.

During an ExxonMobil refinery’s recent Contractor Safety Awards meeting, the Allied Universal security team was presented with a Gold Safety Award for their outstanding safety performance. The award recognized the team as one of the top contractor safety performers at the refinery – as evidenced by the fact that, as of September 2023, they have gone 15 years without a recordable injury.

As part of the Downtown Ambassador Program, Allied Universal “ambassadors” assist visitors navigating downtown Orlando and help connect those experiencing homelessness with much-needed services.

Recently, an ambassador’s report of a simple interaction with an unhoused veteran caught the eye of the area’s housing and homelessness manager because there are numerous resources available to veterans.

It was discovered that a housing resource had been unsuccessfully trying to locate the veteran to discuss available housing. The veteran’s caseworker and all Allied Universal ambassadors were alerted to reach out immediately if they encountered the veteran.

Late one recent Friday evening, two ambassadors located the veteran. They worked together to set an appointment for the veteran to meet with his caseworker and by Monday afternoon the veteran was successfully housed.

Allied Universal Security Professional Christian LaCour has been posthumously awarded the 2023 Ralph Day Memorial Security Officer Heroism Award for his heroism during the mass shooting event at the Allen Premium Outlets in May 2023. He lost his life after escorting one patron to safety and returning to aid others.

“Christian moved in danger’s direction to protect others – the definition of a hero. His heroic efforts helped save lives, and that will never be forgotten. I and the entire Allied Universal team honor him, and he will forever be a shining example of heroism for others to follow,” said Global Chairman and CEO Steve Jones.

Christian’s parents accepted the award on his behalf. Christian will forever be a member of our team and we will never stop saying his name. Watch award presentation.

On a morning in September 2023, Security Professional Chris was patrolling a corporate parking garage in Texas when he noticed smoke and flames coming from an occupied vehicle belonging to one of the building's employees.

He alerted the employee to the fire; however, in her state of shock, she did not immediately exit the burning vehicle. Instead, she attempted to remove items from it. Security Professional Chris guided her out of her car and away from the fire. After dialing 911, he attempted to put out the fire using a fire extinguisher while keeping others away from the scene until the fire department arrived.
