Classic's innovative security classes for its officers, which were run by Classic account executive Tom Garry, a retired NYPD NYPD New York City Police Department (since 1845; New York City, NY, USA) NYPD New York Play Development lieutenant, were featured on Fox 5 and NY 1 nightly news broadcasts. "I am extremely proud of the work Classic's guards performed during the convention," Green said. "The office buildings surrounding the site were clearly an area where some feared a terrorist strike and Classic's guards worked exceedingly hard to ensure everyone's safety." This year, Classic also donated a "talking" 911 simulation machine to the New York Police New York Police may refer to:

"Helping the NYPD teach children how to handle potentially life-threatening situations was one of our proudest moments this year," Green said. Meanwhile, Alliance's messenger services company, Bright Star Couriers, installed key messenger centers at 2 Park Ave., 625 Madison Ave. and 135 W. 50th St. The centers are set up so incoming parcels will be signed for by a check-in staff and brought directly to the tenant by a Bright Star Couriers employee, thereby cutting off upper-story building access to street messengers. To send a package, tenants will call the messenger center, which will dispatch a Bright Star Couriers staffer to retrieve the package. "We've now installed over a dozen messenger centers since acquiring Bright Star three years ago," Green said. "They represent a new era in building security and building owners are rapidly catching on to their safety benefits." In the coming year, Alliance already has multiple contracts in the works and will continue to grow and provide the highest level of customer service and support. "At Alliance, we do more than get the job done," said Green. "We get it done effectively, with our clients' long-term satisfaction our only priority. We take absolutely nothing for granted. We are not only interested in being someone's service provider today. "Our goal is to provide long-term value to our clients, no matter what it takes." |
