Testimonials

In my own name, and on behalf of the command staff and the Deputy Sheriffs of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and grateful appreciation for your unselfish assistance during the period of unrest that took place in the City of Cleveland on June 30, 2020.

Willo Security played a vital role in quickly providing and installing security barricades thus, establishing a secure perimeter around the Justice Center. The assistance provided by you and your staff to halt further damage to the Justice Center was nothing short of stellar.

Please know Harry, that I am personally grateful to you and your staff for stepping forward to assist us, and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department considers you to be a valued partner. The dedicated support we received from you and your staff is greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten.

The citizens of the Cuyahoga County owe you and your staff at Willo Security a debt of gratitude and I am so proud to take this opportunity to say, thank you. If my office can ever be of assistance please don’t hesitate to contact me.

With the kindest regards to you and your staff I am,

Dear Brian and Ray,

From all of us on the Brite team, thanks so much for helping make #Brite18 the best Brite yet!

Thanks to your support, over 12,500 festival-goers braved 40-degree temps amid scattered showers and enjoyed the first-ever rainy Brite Winter.

Thanks for your support and hard work!

With highest regards,

This is from a person that was at our account VGS, about our guard Tony Jackson.

From VGS: We received this wonderful email about Tony. We at VGS have always appreciated not only his hard work, especially his positive customer service (staff, individuals, and visitors), and ensuring everyone’s health and safety.
Thank you – VGS

Hello,
This message is for Robert C. in regards to one of your outstanding employees Tony Jackson (front desk security guard). Mr. Jackson was welcoming, inviting, and helpful during my visit to your facility. He assisted every guest, and employee with their needs. He was patient and made sure that all questions were answered and pointed me in the right direction. Individuals like Mr. Jackson are perfect for his position, his enthusiasm, energy, smile, and compassion definitely shows his strong work ethic. Hats off to Mr. Tony Jackson for all the work he does and hats off to you Mr. Comben for an employee such an outstanding hardworking individual. Thank you.

Subject: Excellent Customer Service

The service provided at the South High BMV/Title Office is outstanding. The security guard who greets customers and the BMV/Title staff have all been very friendly patient and helpful.  I would like to specifically mention Markese who has exemplified excellent customer service.  He has been extremely helpful to me in navigating through the process of a complicated Title change.  KUDOS to all the staff!

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation and share the acknowledgments of many at University Hospitals, who work at the Customer Service Center on Harvard Rd, regarding one of your Security officers who we only know as “Mac”.

Mac seems to naturally go above and beyond almost every day.  He is personable and pleasant and has a kind word and greeting for all of us.  But being nice is just the smallest of his attributes. On rainy days he is there to open the door. On days when you are carrying too much, he is there to help you in or hold the door.  But most noteworthy is the courtesy and concern he displays for so many staff who have disabilities here.  On more than one occasion I have seen Mac, early in the morning when I arrive at 6am, leaving his desk to open a door for a handicapped employee or walking out to the parking area to offer an arm on a slippery day.  Earlier this week, when we had a few inches of snow and our plows had yet to even touch the parking area I watched Mac, in the four inches of snow, walk all the way out to the car door of a handicapped employee to assist her with getting through the snow.  I have never witnessed this level of concern from any of the other security guards and wanted to share my experiences with you.

We appreciate him and the service and protection he provides us and I this sentiment is shared by many at the UH Customer Service Center.

I hope that this gives you the opportunity to acknowledge his exceptional efforts in some way.

Thank you.

I wanted to tell you what an amazing job Manny did for us this winter.  He was kind and helped our staff and customers every day. We felt safe because of his presence but it was more than that.  He smiled each morning and welcomed customers and staff when they arrived.  He fit right in with our company culture and we appreciated his time with us.  If he is available in November we would love to have him back.  Thank you.

Good Afternoon Brian,

I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that guards that were here last weekend did a great job. The managers that were on duty said what a great job they did and I wanted to let you know. If we can have the same one’s every weekend that would be great.

Sincerely,

Mr Reeves,

I am a full-time night shift staff employee at the Hospital Emergency Department. I would like to take this time to recognize Mike Goshay and Keenon. Within the past year, I have witnessed their professionalism and kindness not only to employees but more importantly, to patients and family members. This became very apparent during this past 2017 holiday season.

During this time we had a couple of scenarios in which we needed security intervention. I was impressed with Mike and Keenon’s poise and professionalism while handling these situations. At times, we have pediatric patients that come in during night shift and they have been diligent to ensure their safety. They both have also proven their ability to work very well side by side with local law enforcement.

Mike and Keenon are a great addition to our team. Please give them the recognition they deserve.

Thanks again!

Subject: Outstanding work

At 8:15pm on January 13 2017 Willo Security Officer Teresa McLaurin was notified by a OhioCon attendee that here was a young male in our south lobby restroom unconscious lying in his own vomit.  Security Officer McLaurin reacted immediately by calling for  Columbus Police Department and Columbus Fire Department for assistance. She then entered the restroom to provide care and to check on the individual until the police and paramedics arrived. The attendee did regain conscious and was transported to Grant medical center for emergency care. Security Officer McLaurin also worked our Public Safety Staff to control the crowd and provide easy access for the paramedic team and the police. Her actions and professionalism were appreciated by the Greater Columbus Convention Center and all the attendees within our walls.

Dear Mr. Reeves,

I very recently retired from Dealer Tire and more or less ended my final weeks at the Chester location. For many years, Sharon El-Amin and the facilities team reported to me and I have seen a number of security guards over the years and I would put Jerry Adams in the top 1%. He is as professional as they come. Direct, articulate, through, and a true example of what a Security Officer should be. Please recognize him an a meaningful way that let’s him know that his professionalism is appreciated. If there is a way to have him work at the new Dealer Tire headquarters that would be great too.

I regret not knowing of him sooner and I would have requested that he be assigned to Dealer Tire.

Sincere regards.

“I just wanted to let you all know that a client came in to process a title earlier this morning. She has a very serious illness and came in to add a beneficiary to her title in the event that she doesn’t make it. She wanted to let me know how impressed she was by the help she received from Clint and Gabe during her time in our office. She said that it was very refreshing to come into a government office and have the type of pleasant experience that she had. She made me promise to her that I would pass along her comments and said that she hopes Clint and Gabe will be “properly recognized” for their hard work. I thanked her for her comments and told her that I would definitely pass her message on.”

Good morning gentlemen,

First off, I want to give some recognition to your weekend security personnel (Janelle).  She has always been vigilant in her hourly drive around checks and reports to us anything that she sees of concern.  On more than one occasion she has reported potential incidents that we were able to quickly remedy prior to them becoming an issue.

This past weekend, she reported that one of our pumps was leaking crude oil into a drip pan (as designed) but that the drip pans were becoming close to overfilling.  We were able to get an employee to take care of this before it became a spill and an environmental hazard.  This is a great of example of the benefit of the service that you provide for us.

Please share this with your other personnel assigned to our facility.  We certainly want them to keep their eyes open for leaks, releases, property damage, etc during their hourly tours and report them to us.  Janelle even took a pic with her phone and sent to us, making it easy to identify exactly where the issue was and what needed to be done.

Thank you again for the great service that you have been providing for us.

Subject: Re: in appreciation

We would like to leave a compliment for the Security Officer who was guarding at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

I did not get his name however; he had glasses and was tall and knowledgeable. My husband and I got separated; each of us with a child and this Security Officer went out of his way to assist us. He helped me to locate my husband so that I could speak with him.

My husband was very stressed by then since I was not at the meeting place we decided on and he had to pack-up and check-out from another hotel without me by 11 :00am.

It was a very busy day at the Battelle Grand and this Security Officer helped numerous people. His Co-Worker was also very kind.
They were both very professional and directed people into the area who had their bracelets on and really helped the moms that were trying to bring their daughters to the warm-up areas on time.

These Security Officers made the parents feel safe and calm with so many international visitors.

Thank you!
