What to Look for When Choosing a Security Company
Choosing a security company can help provide you with peace of mind, knowing your environment, your employees, and your customers remain safe and secure. According to the most recent census data, there are over 5,000 private security companies nationwide. With so many companies to choose from, it can be difficult to decide who to partner with. For over three decades, Universal Security has provided security services to a broad range of clientele. Our longstanding business partnerships reflect our company’s strong leadership, our exceptional employees, and our best-in-class customer support and security services.
Before starting Universal Security in 1992, Mark Lundgren worked as a police officer with the Chicago Police Department, honing skills in various units to help him create his company. As the sole proprietor of Universal Security, Mark has served as the President and Chief Executive Officer, overseeing decades of consistent growth. Mark still maintains an active role in all aspects of the business including hiring and training new recruits, acquiring and servicing clients, and visiting client locations to provide his expertise.
Over the past three decades, Universal Security has contracted with some of the biggest retailers and shopping malls and has partnered with government agencies to provide its security services. For 17 years, Universal provided uniformed and covert security services for Target, and for 27 years, the company ensured the security of passengers who traveled through Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway airports. Universal Security provides security services for commercial sites, educational institutions, construction sites, personal or executive security, as well as consulting services. There is no job that is too big or too small or too difficult.
When Universal’s security specialists are staffed at a client location, they become a part of that company’s team. Because of this, each specialist must understand their specific role within that organization and complete a training, specifically designed to adhere to that company’s values and unique criteria. Each specialist undergoes a thorough background check and participates in our state-of-the-art virtual reality training simulation, ensuring they are prepared to secure their assigned environment.
Service is at the core of everything Universal Security does. All of our employees, from our customer service agents to our guards, are committed to providing the highest level of service to our clients. We constantly challenge ourselves to increase our standards and performance levels to provide the highest level of service in the industry. Our leadership, experience and services make us stand out from the crowded field of private security companies.
