Scam company
Hired "Louie" and his "team" to help secure several apartment buildings.
After Louie personally "guaranteed" each of my complex's would see "overnight" improvements, our security situation actually gets worse. Two weeks into our contract, frustrated beyond belief and worried about liability and insurance claims from upset tenants who justifiably are upset about car break ins and other issues, I spend 3 random nights in my car watching the checkpoint Louie promised me they would walk at least twice each night.
For 3 nights, same thing each night, no security check, I'm pissed. I call to confront them and they tell me their officer was there, but they will "double check" and make it a point to speak to that officer. Hopeful they will do this, I go back out again for a 4th night and he shows up once. I spend a 5th night more than 3 weeks into our contract to verify again their performance. At the very end of the shift, nearly 6 am the officer shows up. I corner the poor guy who's unshaven, nervous and out of sorts and I unload on him. After 20 minutes I can tell he's as frustrated as I am. We have an offline chat to find out why in his opinion our site security was not improving as Louie "guaranteed" would happen.
The officer goes on to tell me there's no way he can visit every property on his schedule because they've over booked him. His 10 hour shift requires him to visit 11 sites, some 4 times per shift ranging as far south as Morgan Hill back to Milpitas and Santa Clara. I told him I suspected as much because I had staked out my own parking lot on 5 separate occasions, and the first 3 nights Bay One did not stop and make the agreed upon checks. I pressed further and confronted him on the reports I've been given showing 4 checks on each of my properties per night, he shrugs his shoulders and tells me that's not what he reported to Louie. Pressing him harder, he comes clean that he's been threatened to doctor the reports which he refuses to do, the company is behind on payroll and their promises to him have not been met either. Saying I'm not alone, he has the same issues with other site managers who are also upset with him, he tells me he's tired of this and ready to quit.
I've since let them go, hiring a National company and while my security still isn't what I want, it's improved dramatically and my tenants have commented positively that they see the changes.
I'm highly suspect the positive reviews here are bogus just like this company. Read the context, spelling and grammar, something's clearly not right. Would have given them a negative 5 stars if possible. If you decide to interview these guys, do yourself a favor, get a face to face validation from national accounts who have not been paid off. You wouldn't believe what their former officer shared with me. Apparently the only bills these guys pay are the customers they use for reference purposes who fooled me...ONCE.

sorry for bothering you i am curious now
What do u mean after him for bad check is bay 1 passing bad. Checks I was fired from there that company needs to be shut down
Was he fired
Does andrew still work there?
The company cant get any one to work for them because they dont have back up the pay is awful the Gm never respond to his phoen teh web site is down and never been back up that get new accounts but never see them patrol the company is huge joke and they dont care a bout u period
Not for about 6 months but California check cashing is constantly trying to track him down about a bad check...
This is truly the worst company in business.
My last day was 01-08-16 and if your check didn't bounce it was short.
He has three patrol cars and one of them doesn't run and the other two have terrible noises and problems.
He advertises 24 hour service but how when I was the only daytime patrol officer he has no night patrol and now that I'm gone.
The phones are never answered the office is empty and the only back up for you is God or the police and you know the police aren't coming...No radios, no benefits and no service.
But you think he would tell the client's no he just keeps collecting those payments...He is a fraud and con man.
