Residential Case Study

Print
The developers of a master-planned community had provided the security services for the association for more than twenty years utilizing a low-cost guard service. As the community began to transition to a homeowner-controlled board of directors, the emphasis began to shift to the quality of services provided.

The goal of the new board was to provide the community with a sense of professionalism, customer service, and responsiveness that was not being provided by their current contractor. The board completed an exhaustive search, visiting other communities, investigating security companies, and researching the options available. One of the key determining factors in the board’s unanimous decision was Wackenhut’s unmatched reputation and experience within the residential market.

Wackenhut’s state-of-the-art Visitor Control System (VCS) was installed at the two gates to closely monitor access to the community. Using the integrated system, Wackenhut’s Upscale Security Officers were able to process visitors faster while providing a verifiable digital record of all resident, guest, and vendor entries into the community.

Wackenhut’s Custom Protection Officers® were selected to provide a highly visible community patrol and emergency response service. Prior to hiring Wackenhut, the community had experienced significant problems with vandalism, petty thefts, and destruction of community property, at one time finding nine golf carts in a community pond. Working closely with local law enforcement, the new Wackenhut security program was able to effectively eliminate the vandalism and crime in the community, not only saving the community money, but improving the quality of life for the residents.

“Wackenhut’s personnel continually performs beyond our expectations. From the professional image they portray at our gates, to their individual efforts during emergency related damage recovery, we have found life in our community to be far better with Wackenhut on board.” - Master Board Association President Professionalism with Integrity
