Orientation | Company History

Since 1947 Industrial Security Service has been providing professional security officers to companies in Ohio, Kentucky, as well as Michigan, Indiana and Pennsylvania.

The company was bought by Dan Andrews in 1972. Mr. Andrews remained active in the business until 1983, when his son, John Andrews, took over as President. John ushered the company into the management information age, developing the accounting and information systems that allowed the company to improve service and manage growth.

In 1988 Industrial Security Service opened an office in Kentucky. The company had been servicing several plants in Kentucky for several years and opening an office facilitated growth throughout the state.

Also in 1988, we started our first account in Cincinnati, Ohio. Shortly thereafter, we opened our Cincinnati office. This office serves Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio. We are the largest regional security company in Ohio and Kentucky. The Columbus, Ohio office was opened next in 2003, servicing all of Central Ohio.

Today total employment stands over 700 security professionals dedicated to providing extraordinary results in an all too ordinary industry.

Industrial Security’s growth and reputation is built upon careful personnel selection, innovative training, continuous improvement and quality measurement, professional supervision, and close personal attention to the specific need of our client.
