Central Massachusetts’s business landscape has changed significantly over the years as companies expand from the metro Boston market spreading down the Mass Pike corridor to Worcester. Service-oriented businesses have benefited from this growth as they search for new talent, office space, and partners to support such expansion.

For over 20 years, Paul Durkin, Director of Business Development and Area Vice President, John Mangan of Securitas USA have partnered with hundreds of businesses. As local security experts, Paul and John have developed a reputation for a “client-first” mentality that has contributed to Securitas USA being a global leader in the security industry.

As John Mangan noted, “I have lived in this market my entire life, and I’m raising my family here as well. Being able to work with business leaders and assist them with their security needs gives me great satisfaction because Securitas provides security solutions that benefit the whole community.”

In an uncertain world, companies need expert guidance to secure their assets, both physical and intellectual. Since 1934, Securitas has been a global leader in security services, evolving through the eras to meet current challenges with cutting-edge technologies and strategy. 

Through the office in Westborough, Securitas USA serves Greater Worcester and MetroWest clients in health care, banking, commercial real estate, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and biotech, higher education and financial industries, as well as corporate headquarters. With over 100 clients in Central Massachusetts, Securitas’ local operations are part of a vast network of branches across the nation. With more than 110,000 employees nationwide, they offer world-class security to meet the unique needs of each business. 

Businesses can be challenged by the opposing forces of increasing the scope and scale of security services while maintaining costs. In response to clients’ dynamic needs, Securitas USA provides comprehensive security solutions that often include the latest security technologies. While On-Site Guarding represents the cornerstone of Securitas, these services have continuously evolved, maximizing innovation to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Securitas is able to push the boundaries of conventional industry practices and combine multiple security-oriented products and services, including:

Onsite guarding officers for patrols, access control, reception and safety 

Mobile guarding by uniformed vehicle patrols and inspections addressing employee escorts and alarm response, we leverage one of the largest mobile footprints in America

Remote guarding via industry-leading expertise and well-trained officers around the clock at our Global Command Center

Electronic Security via Securitas Technology, the leading provider of integrated electronic security solutions

Corporate risk management through Pinkerton, who is our risk and security management division that’s been an industry leader since 1850

Paul Durkin noted, “Reputation is of the utmost importance to the Securitas team and building strong, lasting relationships with local clients hinges on that. Working directly with stakeholders, we can help develop customized, cost-effective security solutions. Local leadership is an essential part of the Securitas model and understanding what each client values is paramount. For more than 20 years, John and I have been able to work hand in hand with our clients in Central Massachusetts as their businesses grow and security needs evolve. We appreciate the trust they have in our team and Securitas USA. We look forward to the opportunity to earn your trust!”
