Add Security
Incorporated
A message from our Chief Executive Officer
The concept of private security is hundreds of years old. One company dates back to the 1800’s and is still one of the foremost names in security. Although the security business today is significantly different, the tremendous need for security is quite evident. Industrial plants, apartment complexes, retail stores, and construction sites are becoming frequent targets of vandalism and theft. The theft of salvageable metals has become almost epidemic in proportions. The owners and managers of businesses are becoming more aware of the growing need for additional protection. As government budgets become more restricted and greater demands are made upon law enforcement agencies, more companies are looking to private security to supply their needs.
I am proud to say, that after 36 years, Add Security Inc. is one of the most respected companies in the Portland-Vancouver area. Our thoroughness of training and high degree of professionalism are two of the main reasons for our excellent standing in the community. Whether you are a company needing a complete security program or a business wanting the peace of mind of extra protection on a more limited basis, our staff of professionals is ready to serve you 24 hours a day.
We look forward to welcoming you to our growing family of satisfied clients.
Sincerely,
V. Jean Brown
Chief Executive Officer
Add Security Services
Mobile Patrol
Many businesses benefit from the high visibility of having a marked patrol car and uniformed officer in their area but do not feel they need full time protection. This service is available on a daily basis or for specific days of the week according to the client’s needs.
Standing Guard
Officers are available on a 24 hour, around the clock basis. We also provide officers for shorter periods of time. Add Security offers both uniformed and plain clothed officers, although we have found uniformed officers to be more effective in most situations.
Patrol Car
Sometimes a business will request a marked security vehicle on site as well as an officer. This provides high visibility security which is an excellent deterrent.
Security Escorts
Alarm Response
Many businesses have found it necessary to install alarm systems. When the alarms sound, someone has to respond. We have been providing an alarm response service for homes and businesses for many years. Our officers and supervisors are trained in the proper method of handling an alarm response safely and efficiently. We would be pleased to discuss your response needs with you.

Certification
Security Officers that are required to work in the State of Oregon are also required to go through even more extensive training and licensing requirements through DPSST (Department of Public Safety Standards and Training)
The State of Washington requires an eight hour training course, but our officers receive additional training in several different areas of security. The job of a security officer requires an ongoing program of training. Our Security Officers are well trained and professional.
Besides the standard training, each officer is specifically trained for each site they work. This on-the-job training results in more knowledgeable security officers and better overall service for our clients. This training is always done by a certified trainer and Field Supervisor.
