What Makes Watch Eye Security Different Than Larger Security Companies
What Makes Watch Eye Security Different Than Larger Security Companies
When it comes to choosing a security partner, many businesses naturally gravitate toward larger corporations. But bigger doesn't always mean better. At Watch Eye Security, we offer something that large, impersonal security firms simply can’t: a highly personalized, community-based approach built on agility, reliability, and real-world accountability. As a veteran- and minority-owned business, we pride ourselves on going above and beyond to serve clients across multiple states with the kind of care and responsiveness they won't find anywhere else.
Veteran & Minority-Owned and Operated: Leading With Integrity
Our leadership comes from a place of experience, discipline, and a deep-rooted sense of duty. Being veteran-owned means we understand what it takes to stay mission-ready, maintain discipline, and lead teams with precision. We apply the same principles that are foundational in military service—accountability, responsiveness, and attention to detail—to our security operations. As a minority-owned company, we also bring a fresh perspective and a deep understanding of the importance of representation, opportunity, and inclusivity within our workforce and client relationships.
Leadership Team

Robert began his career in the United States Armed Services. While serving in the reserves, Robert’s role as a Correction Officer led him to Security Officer positions in both the corporate and residential worlds. Now as a police officer and CEO of Watch Eye Security, LLC, Robert not only protects public property, he also investigates crimes and keeps the streets of Chester safer.
Jennifer A. Jones, Vice President
Jennifer began her career in the United States Armed Services. She became a Police Officer at Chester Police Department, where she served as a patrol officer. Jones also served as a patrol officer in Chester Upland School District. While working at Cheyney University, Jones worked her way up to the rank of Sergeant where she became Supervisor of the Patrol Division.
Multi-Location Coverage Across States
While we may not have the name recognition of multinational security firms, we operate with strength and efficiency across multiple locations and states. Our growing footprint allows us to provide regional consistency in security protocols while maintaining local familiarity. This is particularly beneficial for clients with operations in multiple areas. Whether you’re a regional franchise or a corporation with several locations, you benefit from a partner who brings both reach and relationship.
Servicing Regional Franchises with Precision
We’ve built strong relationships with regional franchises by providing consistent and adaptive security support across their locations. Larger companies often struggle with consistency from one branch to the next; our size and structure allow us to maintain uniform training and implementation strategies across all points of service. We understand the unique needs of franchises—from compliance and branding to customer-facing professionalism—and deliver services that reflect and respect your brand at every touchpoint.
Adaptability: Tailored Solutions for Unique Needs
Every company has different vulnerabilities, assets, and operating environments. Watch Eye Security doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter strategies. Instead, we implement customized security protocols based on a thorough understanding of your operations, risks, and goals. We take the time to learn your company inside and out, and then build a security plan that adapts with you. This is where large security firms often fall short. Their systems are rigid. Ours are adaptable.
Readily Available: We Make You Feel Like Our Only Client
Being a smaller company gives us a distinct advantage—availability. Our clients have direct lines of communication to leadership. No call centers. No bureaucratic runaround. We’re always a phone call away, and we act quickly. This approach creates an unmatched level of trust and loyalty, as our clients know they’re never just a number in our system. We treat each business like it’s our top priority—because to us, it is.
Responsiveness: Fast, Focused, and Effective
Our reactive capabilities are one of our biggest differentiators. When an issue arises—whether it’s a suspicious person on-site, a last-minute shift need, or a real-time emergency—we respond immediately. We have supervisors on standby and guards ready to step in with minimal notice. This level of responsiveness is rare among large companies, who often struggle with bureaucratic lag and stretched resources.
Community-Based Operations
We don’t just serve the community—we’re part of it. Unlike national security providers who rotate staff through unfamiliar territories, we hire local whenever possible. This not only strengthens our ability to understand the area we’re protecting, but it also builds trust with the community. A familiar, dependable presence goes a long way in crime deterrence and brand reputation. We show up where it matters, how it matters.
Reliable From Day One
Reliability is not something we talk about. It’s something we prove—daily. From showing up on time and in uniform to completing thorough post reports and client check-ins, our reliability forms the backbone of our business. We don’t overpromise and underdeliver. We deliver exactly what’s agreed upon, and more often than not, we exceed expectations. Reliability shouldn’t be rare in security—but in today’s landscape, it often is. That’s where we shine.
No Dark Shifts: Always On, Always Covered
Guard no-show? Someone call off last minute? That doesn’t happen with us. Or if it does, it’s handled before you even know about it. We maintain a roster of trained, vetted guards ready to fill shifts on short notice, ensuring there are no "dark shifts"—those critical gaps in coverage that can leave your property vulnerable. Larger companies often operate on thin coverage and poor communication between scheduling and field operations. We close that gap completely.
Agile and Flexible: Built to Move With You
We’re not bogged down by layers of management or rigid structures. If you need a change in protocol, we can pivot fast. Need to add another location? We’re on it. Want to shift from nighttime patrols to daytime concierge security? Consider it done. Our agility makes us incredibly easy to work with, especially for businesses that grow and evolve frequently. The same flexibility that lets us tailor solutions to each client also allows us to grow with them.
Creative Problem Solving
Security isn’t just about standing guard—it’s about thinking ahead. At Watch Eye Security, we pride ourselves on solving problems creatively. That could mean designing a custom patrol route that maximizes deterrence while minimizing operational disruption, or integrating community feedback into on-site protocols. While large companies stick to the book, we rewrite the book when necessary, always putting the client's safety and satisfaction first.
Personalized Service That Scales
Every client receives a high-touch experience from us, no matter how many locations they have or how big their operation is. Our account managers and supervisors are hands-on, accessible, and involved in daily oversight. We don’t believe in “set it and forget it.” Our goal is to feel like an extension of your business—a trusted partner, not just a third-party vendor.
Strong Customer Relationships: More Than Just a Contract
For us, customer relationships are everything. We invest time and effort into building strong partnerships, not just fulfilling service agreements. Many of our clients have been with us for years because we’ve earned their trust over and over again. We provide consistency, professionalism, and transparency in everything we do. When you work with Watch Eye Security, you gain a security provider who is as invested in your success as you are.
The Bottom Line: Why Smaller is Smarter
Choosing Watch Eye Security means choosing a partner that sees the whole picture and acts with precision. We bring all the expertise of a national firm, but with none of the bureaucracy. You get local knowledge, fast response, customized service, and above all, peace of mind. We’re not here to be the biggest—we’re here to be the best for our clients.
