PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ –Securitas North America annually recognizes two security officers—one for heroism and one for outstanding performance. The recipients are chosen from among nominations received from their colleagues and managers. Honorees are featured in Excellence in Service, a magazine published for Securitas security officers, and receive monetary consideration as well as other recognition for being selected as Officers of the Year. 

Judith Worley was named Security Officer of the Year for Performance. This award recognizes a security officer who has consistently provided excellent service and outstanding performance. Worley consistently exceeds expectations and prioritizes training and maintaining a safe work environment for a large, national account client. When Securitas and client management requested her support in aligning the client’s security operations for properties in five states, Worley embraced the opportunity and initiated standardized training and procedures that helped to create a consistent and seamless experience at the client properties.

In addition to recognizing outstanding performance of daily assignments, Securitas also acknowledges the Security Officer of the Year for Heroism— an officer who performs a heroic act while helping to protect people or property. John Hull was honored in this category for his actions when faced with a medical emergency at a client site. When notified that one of the client’s employees was experiencing cardiac arrest, Hull used his training to perform CPR and stimulate the victim’s heart with an automated external defibrillator (AED) until an ambulance arrived. Hospital officials indicated that without Hull’s quick and effective actions, the patient would not have survived.

Officers Worley and Hull collectively personify Securitas’ core values of Integrity, Vigilance and Helpfulness.

“We deeply appreciate Officers Worley and Hull,” stated Securitas North America CEO and President Santiago Galaz. “They reflect what it means to wear our uniform. We are thankful for them and our more than 100,000 officers stationed daily at client sites who perform their best in helping to protect our clients’ employees, facilities and assets.”
