"... your process for selecting a security contractor combined with the quality performance checks and performance penalties you recommended has proven to be a very successful formula. ... This contractor has taken complete ownership of security - they've developed their own SOPs customized to our needs, communicate extremely well from shift to shift, keep me informed of everything I need to know, perform security vulnerability analyses and fix problems as they're identified, conduct self-audits of their performance and swiftly identify and correct performance problems, and have developed an excellent rapport with our emergency response group and local law enforcement. Thanks for all your help in guiding us through the selection process."
