CHICAGO, IL . . . Monterrey Security, a Chicago-based security company providing security officers and consulting services, has been recognized as a leader within the national security industry and continues to support the local community.

“ Our unique approach to developing and implementing proactive, preventative security measures is being recognized within the security industry,” said Juan Gaytan, Jr., president and co-founder of Monterrey Security, “It is important for us to stay on top of the ever-changing security industry and support the local children,” said Juan Gaytan, Jr., president and co-founder of Monterrey Security. “Our company is only as good as the neighborhood. We want to make the area a better place for our children and their future.”

Security Recognition

Gaytan was recently interview by Today’s Facility Manager (TFM)--the leading publication for facility management professionals--regarding training, technology and the transition of security services. “We developed a process that assists clients with the identification of potential issues and provides a framework for planning and implementing the transition.”

As the perimeter security services provider during the renovation of Soldier Field, and in preparation for the opening of the stadium in September, representatives from Monterrey Security recently attended the NFL Security Symposium in Houston and the NFL regional security conference,. “The program is by invitation only,” said Gaytan, “with attendees including facilities managers, game operations, security directors and NFL security representatives.”
Sessions covered travel, background checks and special breakouts by areas of responsibility, i.e. perimeter security, field safety and parking. Facilitators for the programs included representatives from the NFL, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and security consultants. “We learned a lot during the process,” said Gaytan, “and look forward to the regional meetings conducted throughout the year.”

Gaytan facilitated a presentation on “Performance Management” with Jack Goldsborough of Valiant Systems at the ASIS Security Force Management seminar on June 17th, 2003, in Washington, DC, to more than 50 security directors, contractors and consultants, including senior security representatives from Goodyear, Starbucks, Marathon Oil and the Homeland Security Department. The interactive session examined the importance of planning and ongoing measurement and adjustment during the development and implementation of security measures, as well as the positive impact of technology on the management of security.
