Asset Protection

Sixteen years of professional, responsive asset protection services make our Asset Protection Team (APT) the undisputed leader in labor disruption security. APT provides security personnel trained to protect people and property during strikes, plant closings, and natural disasters. All APT personnel attend rigorous training programs covering National Labor Relations Board regulations, unfair labor practices, explosives identification, fire prevention, first aid, and physical fitness. APT pioneered the use of photo-documentation as a means of protecting businesses and striking employees.

Selective Recruitment: APT recruits primarily from former law enforcement and military personnel , assuring that all APT personnel have the discipline and aptitude required for protective assignments. All APT personnel undergo background investigations, reference checks, and are subject to drug testing.

Comprehensive Training: APT personnel are fully prepared to handle the difficult problems associated with labor unrest, from NLRB regulations to photo documentation to evidence gathering and preservation techniques.

Rapid Deployment Readiness: APT's personnel roster includes more than 1000 individuals around the U.S., enabling us to deploy security teams to your site within hours. Unlike competitors who scramble to recruit new personnel for each major assignment, APT invests in selecting, training, and retaining experienced security professionals.

Supervision and Management: Vance senior managers supervise training, deployment, and both on and off duty activities of all APT personnel. APT supervisors interact daily with client managers and business leaders, serving as contingency planning and operational consultants before and during labor disruptions.

Use of Non-Local Personnel: In the volatile atmosphere of a labor disruption, conflicting loyalties can be a problem. APT deploys security teams from outside the immediate area to avoid conflicts inevitable in employing local security service. Following crises, APT personnel depart leaving existing relationships with local providers intact.
