The staff demonstrated excellent interaction with both guests and clients, and each guard was sharply dressed and carried themselves with a positive, confident attitude.Posted on Google tracy fermTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Griffin Protection Services for a large indoor/outdoor celebration in Mill Valley with over 300 guests and they exceeded every expectation. We needed a team that could manage both indoor and outdoor spaces, keep conduct orderly, and help keep the gathering safe and comfortable--- this is exactly what we got. From the moment their guards arrived --on time and professionally presented -- it was clear we were in good hands. Every member of the team was polite and warm with our guests, never intrusive, and genuinely easy to have around. When a situation arose that needed to be handled, they addressed it with real intelligence and good judgement . Running a large event comes with a lot of moving parts, and knowing the safety piece was covered --and covered well--made all the difference. We will hire Griffin Protection Services again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone planning a large event that requires a security presence that is both effective and personable.Posted on Google Kelly CarsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Their patrols helped reduce disturbances and gave our community real peace of mind. It’s clear they take their job seriously and genuinely care about the safety of the property and residents.

Griffin Security has done a great job at our complex. We tend to have problems with other tenants parking in our space and each time they've come out has been super quick and they issue a parking ticket. It gives me a sense of safety seeing their lights on while driving through the property!
