More about us:

HSS is a leading provider of specialized security services to the government sector in the U.S. Our customers include local, state, and federal agencies, utilities, municipal centers, courthouses, museums, and college campuses. We are the security provider for:

• City and County of Denver government buildings, including the court houses, police department, county administration buildings, probation, and corporation yards.
• City of Colorado Springs office buildings and transportation depots.
• Colorado Springs Utilities, including power plants and infrastructure facilities.
• U.S. Olympic Headquarters and Training facilities in Colorado Springs, Colorado
• Castle Pines Village.

• We share best practices from facilities around the country with our customers and apply them to improve our service.

• Professionalism and reliability are two of the most important characteristics of an effective security staff.

HSS administrators are specialists in government security and have extensive experience and expertise in the leadership/command ranks of law enforcement, education, and the military. They each hold high levels of certification awarded by the federal government and security professional organizations including the ASIS CPP certification. HSS on-site leaders are carefully selected and well trained to meet your needs.

• HSS develops professional, specialized security officers—not security guards. Only one out of seven applicants makes it through our rigorous screening process and background checks.
• The HSS security staff turnover rate is among the lowest in the industry. We retain over 94 percent of employees assigned to government customers. A key reason for high retention is our comprehensive employee benefits program.
• We are committed to diversity in our workforce.

• HSS provides specialized, proprietary training in anti-terrorism, behavioral recognition, protection, first aid, customer service, and public relations. You can rely on officers’ professional conduct in a full range of situations from document verification, vendor access control, and suspicious packages to vehicle inspections, emergency response, and verbal de-escalation of agitated visitors and customers.

• You have an experienced partner in ensuring compliance with Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration, OSHA, Department of Labor, and other local, city, state, and federal regulations.

• HSS is one of only a few security companies nationwide to have SAFETY Act Designation and Certification. Designation offers limited liability protection in the event of a terrorist attack. Certification extends that to offer the fullest federal liability protection under the U.S. Government Contractor Defense.

• In sum, SAFETY Act Designation and Certification gives HSS customers unlimited terrorist insurance coverage and provides a significant basis for dismissing any claims brought against them resulting from any acts of terrorism where services or technology from HSS are provided. Our methodology and training protocols went through a stringent review process by the Department of Homeland Security before receiving approval under the SAFETY Act. This protects you from potentially devastating liability losses—at no additional cost to you.

• Our 24/7 Operations Support Center expedites information sharing, shortens officer response time, and makes it easy for staff and visitors to contact security. A Nextel Level 3 Emergency Access priority level enhances our ability to communicate during a disaster or emergency situation.

• In August 2009, HSS was awarded the Advocate for Small Developing Business Award by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority for its “exception commitment and dedication to the Authority and for promoting its Small Business Development Programs.” The Authority cited HSS for exemplary performance and for exceeding the spirit and intention of its small business programs.

• HSS has been recognized by Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MWBE), the Florida Local Developing Business Program (LDB), and other small business government administrators for our “extraordinary efforts” to provide financial and administrative support to small, minority, and disadvantaged businesses.

• HSS provides clients with an Emergency Response team in the event of a crisis. With a staff of 2,500 security officers, we are well positioned to respond swiftly and effectively to unexpected operational disruptions, including increases in security threat levels.
