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.

I would like to say "Thank You" to Scott Howard. Over the last few months, he has shown leadership by working the shift - NO ONE wants! He faithfully executes his duties without complaints. He provides leadership to all and is excellent at solving issues or problems guards may have. You are appreciated.

I just want to say thank you to Shawn Murray from Walmart store#2716. I work there and he helps out tremendously. If a customer needs something, he make sure he gets them to the right person. When there is something going on in the store, he makes sure that everything is ok and we're safe. He's a team player and it makes the process easier. If there is someone trying to get out with merchandise, he's on it always. I know that someone has my back when things go wrong and for that, I'm grateful. Thank you Mr Shawn Murray for a excellent job well done!!!!!

I am entering my first 60 days at AUS and assigned at the Naperville, IL BP Facility. I want to show my appreciation to all of the AUS staff that provided me with my introductory training to learn about the facility and the Post Orders. I want to mention the Supervisor whom I have had the most contact which is, Robert (Bob) Harpham. Bob is very meticulous in his training of new staff and I feel that he is a role model for AUS at the BP facility. He focusses on Observe - Report, but also to identify hazards at the facility. While assigned to my first gate post, I received a call from Bob on his day off to make sure that I was doing ok and he offered additional guidance for the post. I feel that this is exemplary performance and this makes Bob the go-to person for our daily operations. Thanks Again!
