Does Vescom provide hospital or mall security? [ top ]
No. Our expertise is in providing contract security services for industrial facilities, power plants and commercial office buildings. The locations we secure possess either safety hazards and/or contain intellectual property that requires highly controlled public access.

Does Vescom operate in compliance with Homeland Security standards? [ top ]
Yes. Vescom works closely with its clients to meet or exceed the heightened state and national security standards in the post-911 environment.

What are the advantages of contracting with Vescom vs. in-house security? [ top ]
The advantages of quality contract security services are many, including lower net costs and reduced liability. The most compelling advantage, however, is increased security. Studies show that companies which contract with a quality firm such as Vescom generally realize a measurably higher level of safety and professionalism for the same investment.

What differentiates Vescom from other nationwide contract security guard companies? [ top ]
Consistency. In a market sector where the average length of service is less than 2 years, Vescom is still serving its first client -- a relationship that began in 1986 -- and has retained the vast majority of clients it has since acquired. Likewise, Vescom's employee retention rate is one of the highest in the industry -- providing clients with a stable, knowledgeable team or professionals who give meaning to the term "security."

What employment opportunities does Vescom offer? [ top ]
Vescom Corporation is an equal opportunity employer providing rewarding, long-term employment opportunities for those individuals who meet its stringent employment requirements.
