We used a different security company at first after receiving a proposal from EGP. We quickly regreted it and called to see if they still had availability on our 8 month project. They did! It has been about a year now and they are still consistent and professional. We had no loses on that project and are now using them on our next. The staffis very professional and the guards are very effective.

We have been using Effective Professionals for about 6 months now and I have been extremely pleased so far. We had a break-in during the time our guard was not here and by time I was notified, the security guard had already secured the area and called the police on our behalf. The staff is very courteous and kind!! I cannot recommend them enough!!

I had a need for a security service last minute for the Memorial Day Holiday and called around. Luckily I picked Effective Professionals and was taken care of very quickly and professionally. The guard came out before the assignment and checked in with us and everything went perfect for the weekend. Very good experience with EP, very good price also. We will definitely use them again.

Sometimes in business you go through rocky patches. You have to deal with the ups and the downs. We are alive in 2020, living through a pandemic. Sometimes even the strongest most resilient individuals are tested. My team has been affected by the hard times we have all faced. Michelle and her team are good people, amazing people. Great to work with. Effective Professionals always has the best intentions. I would like to say thank you for your help, assistance, and loyal partnership. I am pleased to see that even through the stormy weather we will all march forward and work together as a team to

I must say this first we appreciate you adjusting your schedule to accommodate our needs and getting us security at the absolute last minute! Big thanks!! Ms. Sammy was very professional and attentive to our needs. Mr. Irvin was professional, attentive, and friendly as well. Our tenants enjoyed speaking with you all as they entered the gate. Mr. Irvin went out his way to help me with something and I did not even ask him. I much appreciated the help. I would definitely recommend and use your services again! Thank you all!

We contacted the owner last Saturday. I was surprised to see that someone actually connected us to her on a Saturday. This company was recommended by a colleague of ours. She provided us 24 hour coverage last minute on the same day! We have had an Effective Guard for the last week and the service has been professional and great. I would recommend this company to any one who needs a professional guard company.
