As property crimes appear to be on the rise as an almost inevitable spin-off of Central Oregon’s population growth, security has also become an increasingly high profile area for business owners, organizations and residents looking to minimize their vulnerability. Private security is a burgeoning business, with a number of local exponents also noting a trend towards increasing property thefts in the summertime, as windows, doors and garages left open can prove particularly tempting to the opportunistic criminal.
For 20 years, Security Pros, Inc. has been leading the way in delivering professional security protection to the largest base of Central Oregon commercial, industrial, governmental and special event clients. “We are the region’s original security services provider and have the history and experience to prove it,” says Brian Shawver, head of Bend-based Security Pros, the largest security services provider in the region.
“The area is still relatively safe to live and work, but the days of leaving your car or house unlocked never really existed. The more secure, the safer your home or business will be.”
Shawver operates Security Pros along with his wife Dianna, who also has an extensive business background, and has seen an increase in security needs and an exponential growth in his business since acquiring the company in 2002.
“We cover the entire Central Oregon region: Bend, Redmond, Madras, Prineville, Sunriver and La Pine,” explains Shawver. “We protect over $1 billion in local Central Oregon client asset value and over 4+million square feet of commercial space every night of the year. No other security company in this region even comes close to matching this value level, amount of space under protection, or our solid performance record, built on twenty years of helping our clients to prosper. We are the largest, most established, best trained, best equipped and most professionally run security services provider you will find.”
The firm offers services catering to everything from construction sites to shopping centers, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants and professional office buildings. With a professional corporate philosophy honed over Shawver’s 28 years as a Bend business owner, the Security Pros services cover four major areas, including:
– Mobile business patrols with a fleet of vehicles patrolling primarily commercial properties
in designated zones in Bend and Redmond;
– Posted on-site officers providing a constant uniformed security presence;
– Special events security with certified, uniformed teams at generally outdoors or seasonal fixtures;
– Alarm response for a voluminous list of clients, generally from 6pm to 6am daily, who want the reassurance of a rapid response time in case of an emergency.
Along with other industry leaders, Security Pros has also embraced the latest new technologies including electronic monitoring and a high-tech Electronic Verification System (EVS) where, at designated route checkpoints, patrol officers wave an electronic wand over installed memory buttons that record key information for both the company and building owners.
One of the company’s larger customers is The Shops at the Old Mill District, where visitors may be familiar with the distinctive corporate- colored “electric security vehicles” – which are road-legal and look akin to a souped-up golf cart – used exclusively for operations at the site.
