Report
I have had this company for over 2 years. This is the Best company I have found for protecting my property. The owners Dan and Mel are very transparent when dealing with me. The patrol cars have cameras all the way around them. I have access to the system and can see everything while the guard is patroling. I and can even play back if need be. The vehicles also have gps. This is awesome! Like I said very transparent and I highly recommend Chesapeake Protective Services.

Report
These guards do absolutely nothing. They sit in the cars on theirs phones riding from court to court. They never get out and go in buildings to the see weed smoking and trespassing that takes place on a daily basis. I just don't understand their purpose. When you call to report issues they do not respond it is unbelievable. I believe the 5 reviews are paid actors
