FFS Policies

  

REMINDER

Our parking lot is not ours alone.  We have to share it with neighboring business and respect their reserved spaces!  Westshore Pizza has posted signage marking the areas in which they have reserved parking for their customers.

Please DO NOT park in any space surrounding their building!  This means ANY marked parking spaces and/or open area directly behind their building (take notice of this area by the signs posted and painted lines!)

As ALWAYS we ask that you PLEASE utilize the open back lot FIRST before parking in the open unmarked lot in the center.

They have contracted a towing company to monitor all of the parking and cars will be towed at the owner's expense.  This is now out of the control of FFS or any of the surrounding businesses.

The towing company will be monitoring the spaces now.

 

On a good note, this means that we will NO LONGER be interrupted during class regarding people parking incorrectly!!!

Tower Protective Services

 TPS

 

TPS is a security agency that provides quality service in personal protection, uniformed security, and armed or unarmed guards. TPS provides services to small business, major corporations, government 

agencies and private individuals in a multitude of atmospheres. TPS is experienced in providing security services in major high-rise buildings, industrial parks, and organized events. We also have great understanding to the sensitive nature of working for high net worth executives, celebrities, and public officials.

 

Specializing In
Corporate Security

Armed Security
Government Agencies
Rapid Response

 

All officers must be trained to function as part of a team because they are each part of the overall security force. We provide programs to ensure professional knowledge by all. We understand that continuous and effective training is the key to quality service and officer development. The "thirst" for knowledge is what keeps TPS growing. We strive to ensure all of officers are trained in all areas of security to include: Video Surveillance, Self Defense, Firearm Awareness, Special Response Techniques, Disaster Preparedness, Terrorism/Criminal Threats, and Hazardous Materials. All TPS officers hold proper certifications or licenses in all of the following: License D, License G, Handcuffs, CPR/First Aid, ASP, and CO2. 

 

Profitability and return on investment are the key drivers in today's corporations and businesses. There are many factors that affect profitability to include theft, customer service and work processes. There are also the continual challenge of providing a safe, secure work environment for your employees. In today's world this can not be protected without contracting highly qualified professionals in the security industry. TPS offers a level of security that will allow your business or corporation to have the peace of mind that your facility and employees are safe and secure at all times.


Tower Protective Services has provided FFS with security services for FFS since it was established almost 4 years ago.  They provide licensed officers for all parties and events, monitor our surveillance system, and even make periodic rounds at night to ensure the safety of all of our staff and members.   The officers are always professional, courteous and discrete with any security issues as to maintain a peaceful environment for all.  They are familiar with all the proper procedures in dealing with local law  enforcement to take any necessary action.  We feel that TPS provides us with additional safety for all of our staff and members.
