CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. and SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allied Universal is proud to recognize security officers during the fourth annual National Security Officer Appreciation Week, September 16 – 22, 2018.

“National Security Officer Appreciation Week honors the incredible efforts of our nation’s security officers to create safer and more secure environments,” says Steve Jones, CEO, Allied Universal. “The appreciation week is also an opportunity to profile the many roles security officers fill; debunk misconceptions and stereotypes; and raise awareness of the career opportunities that exist within the security services industry.”

Security professionals are hard-working, highly trained men and women who are our protectors, guardians and first responders. These individuals deter crime, lead evacuations, provide information, work closely with local law enforcement and are constantly vigilant in their efforts to keep us safe. This annual event is featured in Chase’s Calendar of Events. Join in the celebration on social media using #ThankYouSecurity in your posts.
