Parker Security & Investigative Services

Parker Security & Investigative Services, Inc. has provided professional on­site security personnel in Georgia since 1984. Our personnel are trained, vigilant, and dedicated to providing our clients with the best on­site security in southwest Georgia. We are the only security guard company to be awarded the Albany Herald's Readers Choice "Best of the Best" award, not just once, but two years in a row (1994 & 1995) and again in 2001. On staff, we have former Secret Service and State Revenue Agents, former State Fraud Investigator/Director, and Hi­tech Computer Investigators, along with security consultants from almost every field of expertise. But, as good as we are, we recognize that in some situations there are some shortcomings due to the physical limitation of humans. As dedicated and observant as our personnel are, they are limited to seeing only what is in their immediate area. While patrolling one side of a building they cannot, simultaneously, observe the other sides. Onsite personnel are also subject to assault and can be deliberately distracted by those intending to commit theft or vandalism. A person on­site does have some advantages. One, it tends to deter vandalism and criminal activity by their very presence, and two, there is a human on­site and trained to make a decision as the activity is happening. The main purpose of security is to prevent incidents, the secondary purpose is to provide information for the eventual prosecution of those involved in thefts or vandalism.
