DESERT SECURITY SERVICES is a professional full service security organization specializing in providing quality security, asset protection, and investigative services for our customers located in California & Arizona’s southwest desert regions. Our operations remain focused on providing only high quality services within California counties of Imperial, Riverside, San Diego, and Yuma County, Arizona.

The original concept, goals, & objectives in forming DSS were very simple: To offer & provide only a superior quality security service to those customers who demand and require only the highest possible levels of service, quality, and professionalism in their security and asset protection programs. Prior to forming DSS, these qualities seemed inconsistent and seemingly unavailable with other security organizations operating within our region.

The “Warm Body Syndrome:” For many years, the security industry has been plagued by unscrupulous contract security companies struggling to compete for the most customers and for the lowest bid. These companies charge the least, promise the most, and usually perform the worst. These companies rush to find a warm body, throw a uniform on them, and then dishonestly present this individual to the customer as a qualified, experienced & trained security officer.

DSS does not believe in or subscribe to the “warm body syndrome,” which is contrary to, and a very common practice in the contract security industry. That is, we do not offer or provide “warm bodies” to work in any security related function for any customer. Each of our Security Officers are fully licensed, qualified, experienced & trained, and each enjoys salary & benefits substantially higher than our local competitors. We do not maintain minimum or sub-standard wages for our employees. In order to provide our clients with superior, reliable, dependable & professional high quality services, we must hire and retain experienced & highly qualified personnel, and pay them well.

We feel that you ultimately get what you pay for.

DSS is a fully licensed, insured & bonded full service Security & Investigative Company. We are uniquely qualified to provide superior security, asset protection, property & personal protection, policy enforcement, risk control, loss prevention and liability reduction programs, as well as a variety of specialized professional investigative services including employee background investigations, fraudulent Worker’s Comp injury investigations, polygraph examinations, sensitive internal issues, and legal support services to businesses, corporations, individuals, city & county governments, school districts, college & universities, executives, law firms & governmental entities.

We are a locally owned & privately held company, operating since 1981, and we are very proud of the quality services we continue to provide for our valued customers. With DSS, our customers can expect a close personal relationship or “partnership”, designed to ensure the full satisfaction of our service. Our senior company executives will assist in the implementation & maintenance of your security program. These individuals will also attend all meetings, receive directions, address any & all concerns, be readily available to you and your staff 24 hours-a-day, and will consistently & closely monitor our service and your complete satisfaction.

Frequent and open communication with your staff is an essential element of our mutual success.
