Supervision and training are built into the service.

Every APS officer and supervisor completes 40 hours of continuing education each year. Day-to-day operations are supported by company leadership, area management, day and night supervisors, and site-level leads.

  • Daily activity reports for clients unless otherwise requested
  • Owner Timothy Farrow remains directly involved in operations
  • Leadership experience spans military, law enforcement, investigations, security, and fire safety
  • After-hours calls route to the APS duty phone for follow-up

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

Versatile on the board. Protective in purpose.

APS chose the knight because it can respond from angles other pieces cannot. It represents adaptability, disciplined movement, and the responsibility to protect. The symbol carries that idea throughout the brand: strength, excellence, and clarity.

A real-world outcome

Helping a community reclaim its 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.
