Our Values

Securitas’ three fundamental values are: Integrity, Vigilance and Helpfulness. They serve as guidance for all of our employees in building trust with customers, colleagues and the surrounding community.

Integrity


A Securitas employee is honest and therefore trusted to work unsupervised on the customer’s premises and with valuables. Securitas never compromises in its demand for integrity. Integrity also includes openly expressing one’s opinion, reporting improprieties and not withholding information.

Vigilance


Professionalism entails seeing, hearing and evaluating. A Securitas employee is always attentive and often notices things that others don’t. Their vigilance is necessary in order to be aware of potential risks or incidents that may take place on our customers’ premises.

Helpfulness


When needed, a Securitas employee will lend assistance, even if it is not directly related to his or her job. As part of an ongoing effort to make life safer, a Securitas employee will always help if an incident occurs that requires intervention.
