The growing security market
The security services industry, currently $31 billion in annual sales revenues, is a growing market, with future growth projected in double-digit percentages. The security guard and patrol services sectors of the industry realized a 62 percent increase in annual sales revenue growth from 1997 to 2002. Security guard and patrol services represent 48 percent of all services within the security industry.*

The security market is dominated by big, international security companies. These organizations have large bureaucracies with many local, regional, national, even global management structures. Contrast this with local, smaller, independent security companies specializing in niche areas of the industry. These businesses have limited market appeal, generally with limited numbers of accounts.

Signal 88 Security Group was created to bridge the gap between the large inefficient security company and the small, local security shop. Signal 88 Security provides superior security services through the utilization of the latest technology and a management process with inherent efficiencies and capabilities powered by this technology, none of it available to or used by the competition. This approach is unique in the industry and provides a competitive edge for the success of all Signal 88 Security franchises.
