Take bids from multiple security companies and compare/ check before making your choice!

There are a lot of good security companies in New Mexico and there are a lot of bad companies and owners.  I have seen many very professional guards working in the industry and this blog is filled with guards that are not professional or sometimes legal.  

A security consumer should take a few bids from reputable, licensed and reliable security companies before making a decision to go with one particular firm.  The prices for security are very similar but the services vary drastically.

Security consumers should verify not only the company's licensing with the STATE OF NEW MEXICO but the guard's licensing who works at your location.  All guards are required to have certain training and licensing by the state including FBI Background checks, fingerprinting and other checks.  Each guard will have an individual "guard card."

Insurance is important.  Make sure that bidding companies have appropriate limits of insurance in general liability, worker's compensation and vehicle insurance.  Many companies take short-cuts that endanger their clients.  Some common tricks are:  having insurance that is not intended for security companies, having out-of-date insurance and making their guards drive their personal vehicles on client's property.

This blog is a good source of information and the state of New Mexico Private Investigator's Board can verify licensing.  You can find links to the on-line verification system on this blog.

Thanks for the plug. That there should be proof that you aren't out to monopolize the industry. You reccomended 3 other businesses on a website you could use soley to promote your own.

If the PI board would get their act together, it would be much easier for clients to get the information they need. 6 months after the fact and our guards are STILL waiting on their level III cards. The website is of no use since it is not updated to reflect firearms certifications. We've done everything we're required to do but the state refuses to do their job. What on earth are they doing with our fees if they can't be bothered to issue the proper identification and update their useless website?
