THE ALERT STORY
ALERT Protective Services is a unique provider of premium contract security services in the Sarasota –Bradenton – Venice area. The culture of ALERT Protective Services is employee focused as well as client focused.
The Beginning...
Jeff Haidet acquired the company in April 2005, when it was know as DEHART Guard & Patrol Services, Inc. Inspired to create a security company different from those typically found in the local security market and a philosophy of being the area’s “employer of choice” as well as the “service provider of choice”, the name was changed to ALERT Protective Services in May 2006. The name change reflects the new direction for all ALERT Clients and Security Officers.
A Supportive Work Environment
ALERT has a clear understanding that our employees are just as much our customer as our clients. Supporting and winning our “internal” customer (security officers) is instrumental in providing outstanding service to our “external” customers, you the client.
One of our unique service features that sets us apart from other companies and exhibits our passion for world class service, is top management personally interviews, hires and orientates each new security officer to our company and our culture.
Locally Owned and Dedicated to Our Community
Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of ALERT Protective Services is that we are locally owned and operated. With so many security companies foreign owned or headquartered outside of Florida, we understand the importance of being local. Local means proximity to our customers, responsive local management, quick and efficient decision making and cost efficiency. In the service industry, 70 – 80 percent of what is important to our customers is determined locally.
ALERT Protective Services serves residents and communities throughout the SW Florida area including Sarasota, Manatee, Osprey, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Venice and Fort Myers.
