I was hired by the founder of the company my first day of work was Jan 5th 1996. Like with any family there have been hiccups along the way but 25 years later I am still part of the family and am treated with respect and consideration. And dare I say, " I have held the best post available for the last 9 years. Thanks Kim and family.

My parents and I went shopping for food after picking up my mom from the hospital. We were at the palm springs Ralph's and there was a tall white guy who approached my mom who was sitting outside eating a yogurt because she couldn't eat for three days. She also wasn't exactly dressed for shopping either. This guy had completely ran off the assumption that she stole her yogurt and after she explained herself he just stared her down. I went in and told the store manager as well as getting info from him. Tried calling a field supervisor but supposedly there wasn't one. My partner and I have been in

Out of all the security companies I have dealt with, this one has been the most professional and very friendly to be around. Any business and or people that need to hire a security company, Olinn Security would be great. In addition, another thing I truly love is how much they care about their employees. They are professional but also compassionate with family values. Finding that in a company is far and few these days. I hope they stick around for many more years.

I appreciate the detailed response & considering your request I have thus changed my initial review of a two (2) star rating to that of a four (4) star rating. However, my initial comments shall remain for now. I will consider removing this review altogether dependent upon the next interaction which shall be made at random. In any regard, the longevity of your employee is commendable, hopefully the same can be said of their professional etiquette. Initial Review:
The woman answering the phone (FN begins with A) needs some serious customer service training and should not be dealing
