What Sets Our Security Services Apart
One of the biggest differences between AmeriLex and a standard security company is the depth of planning and procedures that go into each assignment. Before officers ever step on-site, our owner-led team develops a security plan tailored to your location.
That process often spans:
Site Visits
Site visits to walk the property and identify entry points, blind spots, and high-risk areas.
Meetings with Ownership
Meetings with ownership or management to understand concerns and priorities
Written Post Orders
Written post orders that outline responsibilities, patrol routes, and reporting expectations.
Scenario Planning
Scenario planning for incidents such as disturbances, theft, medical emergencies, or suspicious activity.
These procedures are modeled on police responses and tactics shaped by a combined 20 years on the job as law enforcement officers. Our clients trust us because of the peace of mind they get working with a team that knows not only the local area, but the local procedures of a police department known for strict training and one of the longest initial training periods in the nation.
