Industries We Serve in Illinois

How our coverage fits each industry

Illinois mixes one of the country’s largest cities with suburbs, freight corridors and quiet residential towns. Here is how SecureOne services line up with the industries we serve across the state.

Logistics, warehouses and transportation

The Interstate 55 and Interstate 80 corridors around Joliet, Elwood, Romeoville and Bolingbrook carry a large share of the region’s freight, and many of those sites run around the clock. Logistics security guards can hold the gate, check paperwork and walk the yard, while mobile patrol covers fence lines between visits. A major transportation company manager in Chicago told us that in 8 years with SecureOne there had not been a serious security related incident on the property.

Hospitality

Hospitality security service is on our Illinois list. Hotel officers need to greet guests at the front desk and keep watch on the door, the parking area and the hallways at the same time. A regional senior director for a large hotel chain told us security has never been an issue at the hotels that use SecureOne.

Residential communities and HOAs

Residential security officers cover apartment buildings, gated entrances, amenity centers and common areas. In the suburbs, a patrol route that checks pools, clubhouses and parking areas a few times a night is often enough, and the property manager sees every stop in Vision Insights.

Assisted living and senior communities

Assisted living security service calls for patience with residents and families. Our officers are First Aid and CPR certified, can manage visitor sign-in and are trained to respond first when a resident needs help.

Construction

Job sites in Chicago and the suburbs change week to week, and materials left overnight are a target. A construction site manager in Chicago told us our officers are always professional, courteous and punctual, and that the field supervisor stops by several times a week. Camera trailers can watch the site when no officer is posted.

Retail and commercial real estate

Shopping centers, office buildings and mixed-use properties need visible officers in the evening, when stores close and lots empty. Officers check doors, walk the parking areas and report to the property manager through Vision Insights.

Campus and tech campus

Campus-style properties have open grounds and many entrances. SecureOne serves campuses and tech campuses, and each has its own page on secureone.com.

Financial and cannabis

Banks, financial sites and cannabis businesses each have their own page on secureone.com, linked from the cards above. These are sites where we decide carefully with you whether a post should be armed or unarmed.

Winter in Illinois

Short winter days mean more hours of darkness on every property, and snow can hide damage to fences and gates. Patrol officers check lighting, doors and fence lines on each round and note what needs repair in their reports.
