IPS Security is currently operating In both Northern and Southern California. IPS is licensed with the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, bonded, and fully insured. IPS can be described in two words: Honor and Integrity. They serve as guidance for all of our employees. It's at the core of our company and the reason why we're able to build trust with our clients. It's on the patch, which lies on the shoulders of every one of our officers. At IPS we run our operations on a client- centered model that allows us to deliver responsive and reliable security services to our clients. This model is focused around quality personnel, real time reporting, and customer service. In the next few pages we will go more in depth into each of these areas. IPS implements a strict recruiting and hiring process. Our step -by -step process not only screens out unqualified candidates but also goes well beyond the industry norm to focus on selecting only the best possible applicants. Our process identifies candidates who posses important traits we believe are critical to both IPS and our client such as honesty, integrity, and a strong customer service orientation suited to the culture and operating environment of your establishment. Our selection process includes: - Experience - Initial Interview - Drug Screening - Background Check -- Guard Card License Verification T':888- 37.5 -337.9 www.nsureprrvtective.conr F:888- 778 -4463 1nfoft insure protective rom 25F -11 Unfortunately many of our competitors simply hire what we call in the industry a "body" which is a person who is hired that has little to no experience, no drug screening, no background check, and sometimes even no training or verification of a valid guard card. This exposes both the security guard company and client to dangerous levels of legal liability. Our commitment to employee training and development is the foundation that the quality of our security officers Is based on. All training is certified by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services and the California Association of Licensed Security Agencies. Every new hire is required to complete the IPS training program. Our professionally designed training classes help motivate employees, which results in lower turnover, less absenteeism, and higher standards of performance. The curriculum includes the following subjects: • Administrative and Security Orientation Legal Authority Authority of the Security Officer • Conflict Resolution • Company Policy and Procedures • Report Writing • First Aid CPR Certified (if required by contract) Hazardous Material Recognition & Procedures • Public Relations • Communications • Protection of the Crime Scene • Method of Patrol]Defensive Driving • Fire Prevention • Recognizing Safety Hazards • Bomb Threat Recognition • Rules of Evidence • Uniforms and Equipment T:888- 315 -3319 www.insureprobecdve.com F:888. 778 -4463 info01rtsurenrotective.com, 25F -12 IPS Security is committed to using the most up to date technology to better serve our clients. At IPS we use a custom real -time information gathering and incident Reporting /Monitoring System Software that allows us to monitor and respond to real - time issues, tasks, and incidents. We have essentially gone paperless. This means our clients enjoy the benefits of receiving reports and updates about their establishment in a fast and easy way in real time! REAL f'NAE REPORTING We provide our clients with the following reports: Daily Activity Reports, Incident Reports, and Field Inspection Reports. Each of these reports is sent to you in real -time via email using our Reporting /Monitoring System Software that is integrated with our network and with smart phones which enhance these features with supporting audio, video, and photos. Gaily Activity Report: This report is taken by the on -site security officer and shows the activity occurring at your establishment throughout each shift and has a focus on proactive site management. Proactive site management includes for example, making recommendations on maintenance related issues such as a burned out light, which may generate an email to the maintenance staff. Incident Report;. Different incidents trigger the on -site officer to write an incident report after all of the facts and information is collected. This information potentially becomes very helpful in legal disputes and usually is the difference between winning and losing a court case. The information collected in this report details the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, WHEN, and HOW of the incident. When needed the report also includes audio, video, or photos. Field Inspection Report: This report is taken by the Field Supervisor who makes unannounced visits and conducts an inspection report of both the on -site officer and the site. The inspection report ensures that the on -site officer is in proper uniform, has the proper equipment, is well groomed, is aware of the standard operating procedures for your establishment, etc. A photo is also taken of the on -site officer and is included in the report.

This allows you to confirm that our patrols are conducted in accordance with the post orders. The patrol activity is recorded in five - minute intervals and you may request hard copy tracking reports for any given time and location. RFID Monitoring: The Reporting /Monitoring System Software we use allows us to replace traditional guard tour systems and eliminates the need for separate computer downloads of historical guard tour data. If RFID tags are not recorded by the officer while on tour or during the specified time frame, our Reporting /Monitoring System will immediately notify one of our supervisors. The Reporting /Monitoring System Software also has Geofencing capabilities that define a perimeter around your property using GPS technology. The times our officers arrive and leave your property will be recorded.
