DHS Expands Info
Exchange System
The Department of Homeland Security is expanding use of its Joint Regional Information Exchange System, its computer-based counterterrorism system. The system links national, state and local law enforcement and security agencies so information can be shared in real-time across jurisdictions. State and local homeland security advisors will coordinate the expanded use of the system to include the National Guard, state emergency operations centers, and local emergency services providers. Future expansion is planned for county level and private sector security officers. The JRIES system also allows for only certain members to receive classified information in real-time.

Regent Security Services
Ernie Sizemore, President

Regent Security Services employs more than 1,000 officers across the Southeast. Headquartered in Augusta, GA, it serves mainly industrial clients, providing 24-hour security patrols, camera monitoring, and access checkpoints. Regent’s structure includes local area managers who oversee clients within a 90-mile radius. This keeps the managers close to their families and allows clients to have a single go-to person that they know personally. Many of its officers have been with the company for a decade or more, and Regent celebrates its best employees with Security Officer of the Year recognitions.

What is the standard uniform for your officers?
“Most of our customers prefer a military-style uniform but we also offer a dress uniform and a business casual uniform. Our military uniform is designed to offer layers and alternate items based on climate and comfort of the individual. Our officers really like the flexibility of the new program. We redesigned our whole uniform packages a few years ago to be distinctive for our region, and Unitex Direct was truly a partner in that process, working with us on patch design, color combinations, equipment/uniform combinations, availability/inventory, price and even timing for the transition itself. By working with Unitex Direct, we were able to provide a full uniform including the belt and a better jacket for the same price we paid before the redesign. We met our goals on time and on budget!”

Why did you choose Unitex Direct as your uniform supplier?
“When we chose Unitex Direct, we were having difficulty with another vendor in both quality of uniform pieces and availability of standard uniform items. We were happy and continued working with them on all uniform items. I have chosen to stay with Unitex Direct based on the personal service, the helpful staff, the quality of uniforms, and the way they work with us to make our uniform program successful. We’ve even expanded our orders to include logo promotional items. The value of doing business with Unitex Direct is why I continue to use them over other vendors.”

Employee appreciation is obvious at Regent Security Services. You keep manager service areas small, encourage community involvement, etc. How does this benefit Regent?
“Our business model allows us to be there for our customers and our community. This model also allows us to work closely with our security officers on staffing and training needs. We support our officers, our clients and our communities because they are all key factors in our success.

Employee retention is crucial because the foundation of our business is the security officer on the front line. Without their dedication, meeting our business goals is impossible and service to the customer suffers. Focusing on retention makes our training more effective because it becomes cumulative rather than remedial. This effort in turn provides a better security officer and better service for our clients.”

What aspect do you most appreciate about working with Unitex Direct?
“They really care about helping us succeed from working with us on our inventory to optimizing uniform options for different climates. I know we are one of many clients but they treat us like we’re the only one.”

What piece of advice have you found essential when making important decisions regarding Regent Security Services as a whole?
“Do what is right. Conduct your business dealings with integrity, honor and respect. Make business dealings fair and beneficial to all concerned – the customer, our company, our vendors, and our employees. Usually others will respond in kind.”
