We had the good fortune of connecting with TONY DEWITT JR. and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi TONY, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I was good at what I provided and people saw that also. My clients trust me with their lives and or possessions.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We focus our attention to a single point: meeting your venue and or organizations’ specific security needs. This simple ethic has been the driving factor behind a host of advancements, and has enabled us to set and exceed even higher standards of service. Our attention to service and detail has made us a competitive force in the Security Industry.
I am most proud of being in the industry over 26 years and owning my own business over 15 years. Hard work, sacrifice and determination has gotten me to where I am today. Definitely was not easy. Long sleepless nights were frequent. Sleeping in my car for days on end was my normal. Missing family life and events were definitely the sacrifice. I learned to put steps in place in order to free my time up and enjoy life more. I’ve learned over the years that one needs to stay true. Don’t put the cart in front of the horse and stay humble and transparent. Trust the process, even the negative parts. I would like the world to know that my brand has been built on integrity and treating everyone with respect and dignity.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First and foremost, I would like to thank God, my wife Chantel, my mentor James “Tripp” Mitchell and everyone who has given me the opportunity to provide my services.
