Services We Provide (Click to Expand)

Background Investigations

Job1America takes an intelligent approach to security services by maintaining the highest standards in the industry. We exceed client expectations because we employ the best people, use cutting edge learning and development systems, and stress partnership-minded management. Pre-employment background screening and public record research can be accomplished by Job1America administrative staff for your company. All background information is gathered from State and Federal sources, in full compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Drivers Privacy Protection Act, and all other applicable federal and state statutes.

Executive Protection Services

A sound executive protection program is critical within today’s business and economic environment. Targeted violence – by disgruntled employees or others – and random criminal acts are more commonplace than ever. Security directors must have effective systems to counter these risks. Job1America has extensive experience and history providing protective services to executives and their families.

Risk Assessment and Security Surveys

Our security survey team will meet with the management of your company and develop a security survey and needs assessment report. We will first discuss views of security with you, review the perception of threats and security concerns, and conduct an analysis of physical security programs, procedures, information systems and facilities. Next Job1America delivers a formal report that provides a comprehensive security analysis of the client’s business environment, including areas of vulnerability and specific recommendations to effectively address these shortcomings. Our expertise with clients from a broad spectrum of industries allows us to recommend the best security practices and provide a baseline for planning.

Emergency Coverage for Natural Disasters or Labor Stoppages

Job1America can assist you in preparing for work stoppages that occur at one or all of your facilities. There is no reason why production at any of your facilities should stop because of a work stoppage by your union employees. Job1America can conduct comprehensive security plans, provide additional security officers, assist with documentation with our security documentation specialists and offer our temporary employment services to augment workers lost due to the stoppage. Our security personnel can also provide security coverage to safe guard property or merchandise during emergencies or when a natural disaster impacts your business or facility.

Electronic Tour Systems

Job1America can verify security officer inspection performance through our Electronic Tour Confirmation System. Our system utilizes inexpensive steel-encased computer chips to record tours and incidents. These chips are installed on particular pieces of equipment or at locations that require checks by security personnel. Chips are non-reproducible and virtually indestructible, affording the best assurance that tours are being conducted by the assigned officer. Data collection probes are issued to security officers making tours and inspections. The probes are immune to weather and electrical interference. Our software package allows for system enhancements and is easily adaptable to perform facility inspections and to track physical assets.

The tour system is utilized to prepare job site activity reports displaying the daily and historical results of:

Security Officer Tours – confirms that the officer performed the tour in the proper sequence and at the proper time.
Security Officer Tour Durations – tracks the amount of time it takes an officer to complete a given tour.
Incident Reporting – documents unusual or emergency situations.
Tour Deviation – documents any unusual officer activity
Once a tour is completed, the security officer returns the probe to a supervisor who downloads the information collected. The system provides instantaneous, real-time verification of post and tour checks (and therefore actual location) and the system then provides a variety of reports. If approved, we will implement the tour system at your facilities.
