More about the APS standard

Leadership experience spans military, law enforcement, investigations, security, and fire safety. Georgia requires eight hours of continuing education every two years for registered security employees. APS's internal annual standard goes beyond that baseline. Review Georgia Rule 509-3-.12.

The knight, in practice. APS chose the knight for its versatility. It represents a protector who thinks ahead, adapts, and acts with purpose. Read the APS story →

Experience across environments

From your community
to complex operations.

Corporate. Industrial. Infrastructure. Entertainment. Hospitality. Technology. APS adapts to the people, places, and priorities of each assignment.

APS community experience

Helping residents reclaim their shared spaces.

A multifamily community facing severe criminal activity and possible municipal action brought in APS. Within six months, the property experienced a marked reduction in criminal activity. Property owners and local public safety partners recognized the improvement, and residents began using outdoor areas again.

Client details remain confidential. Results vary by property, conditions, scope, and cooperation; this example is not a guarantee of future outcomes.
