Philosophy - The following is an article based on an interview with Bill Rodriguez that was published in local newspapers and journals. It reflects Bill Rodriguez’s personal philosophy concerning the security industry:
"People and assets more than ever need more aggressive, personal protection from the criminal elements in our society," said Rodriguez, founder and president of Seal-Tight Protective Services in Elk Grove Village (IL).
"We just can't rely on security technology to protect us. The human element is in many ways just as important. The physical presence of trained, uniformed security guards and undercover officers gives a site a formidable security shield and helps keep criminals from engaging in unlawful activities. In most cases, a criminal will take a pass on an illegal activity if he sees the presence of security personnel."
Seal-Tight Protective Services provides a myriad of security measures designed to protect its clients’ personnel, confidential information, and equipment, said Rodriguez, who added that stationing security guards at a location significantly reduces crime. These include:
"Trust in your security company and the people it employs is crucial," said Rodriguez, whose law enforcement and security intelligence experience includes serving as director of security for the City of Chicago’s Department of Aviation, as well as consulting with companies in the aviation, freight-forwarding, electronic manufacturing, and transportation industries.
"Companies should only put what they want protected in the hands of a licensed security company that provides them with highly qualified, rigorously trained and experienced security guards who think on their feet and make good decisions. They should secure references and get a full understanding of how that security company operates. Their expectations should match the capabilities of the company they hire."
Rodriguez realized early on that he and Seal-Tight Protective Services had earned an excellent reputation when he was chosen to present his perspective on security in the work place to a group of executives representing a cross section of businesses that have one thing in common; protecting the integrity of their companies. He has been called upon to do so several times since.
"What I tell them opens their eyes," said Rodriguez. "I describe the enormous problems the most dangerous elements of society can have on their operations, how vulnerable they are without utilizing the appropriate technology, and how exposed they are without the formidable presence and quick response that security guards provide.
"Many of them have never analyzed their security needs, others don’t know about high tech equipment to help them protect their information and personnel or how experienced guards can identify suspicious visitors entering and leaving their buildings. Some of them simply need cameras, others need guards, still others need a combination of both."
