What Our Employees Are Saying:

First Response is a great company as either a starting company or a security career. After moving here from across the country, they have been 100% in communication with me about every step. Their HR manager has made me feel like a human being instead of a number. They are a great company and I cant wait to see what my future holds. Thank you First Response for giving me an opportunity with your company!

I was employed six months ago and found the environment to be excellent. Supportive management that wants you as an individual to succeed and therefore they succeed as a company. I found their technology to be first rate. They take care of their equipment and they are open to suggestions on how to make things better. I have been employed in emergency services from 911 Dispatching, Fire Fighting, EMS, and Law Enforcement. I went to security for a slower pace. First Response has not been a slower pace. They are a forward thinking and care totally for the Client, Employee, and everyone who comes in contact with First Response. I have found that security is just as rewarding as my former emergency services career and that is due to the environment, employees and management at First Response. I highly recommend First Response as a career, not just a job.

Great place to work. I always know where I am supposed to be, when I am supposed to be there and what I will be doing. With clear expectations of their employees, First Response is a great place to work.

Great people to work with, Good compensation, Forward thinking when it comes to benefits, They work with your schedule within reason, Management actually cares vs just saying they do, Good routes and clients, officer safety is paramount, and they live the Mission, Vision, and Values.

The people here really do care about their employees. They are always striving to figure out what can be done to improve the quality of the work environment.
