I attempted to reach this company to get a quote! the phone number provided is disconnected. After doing further research to see if this company was out of business I found some information that turned me away.

Bales security helped my organization when we had an emergency. They were very quick to respond and provide personal security for one of our employees. Very professional team with an "employee" and "client" driven attitude.
