Irvine-based Allied Universal, the world’s largest private security firm, said it’s been awarded a five-year contract to help secure Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), the second-largest airport in the United States. The contracted services began in January.
Allied Universal security professionals are supporting DFW’s landside operations – which is the portion of the airport between its boundary and boarding gates – including employee parking lots, warehouses, receiving docks and employee checkpoint areas.
“As the leading provider of airport and airline security solutions throughout North America, we understand the concerns and unique challenges faced by airports, airlines and airport authorities of all sizes,” said Tracy Fuller, president of government services for Allied Universal.
Allied generates about $20 billion annually in sales and has more than 800,000 employees.
Allied Universal Global Chairman and Chief Executive Steve Jones is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Business Journal’s annual Excellence in Entrepreneurship Awards event, scheduled for March 9 at the Irvine Marriott.
