What Our Team Members Say

"

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with SecurityRI was so exceptional that I had to share. From the moment I arrived, from filling out my onboard paperwork, and getting to know the ins and outs of the job, talking with Lt. Dale Vose, one of the most genuine and professional guys on the staff, went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcome and taken care of throughout.
