Schafer Security Services has been an invaluable partner in keeping our business secure. Their mobile patrol services are efficient and reliable, and their commitment to employing locals truly strengthens the community.
I’ve worked with many security companies before, but Schafer Security Services offers a unique, personal touch. Their deep ties to the community and cultural awareness bring a level of trust and professionalism that’s hard to find elsewhere.
What differentiates us from other security companies in the region is our deep and personal connection with living in the Mount Isa and surrounding areas for over 50 years.
Being a born and bred local with a great understanding of the region, the people and the culture. This gives Schafer Security Services an edge over other local security companies when it comes to working respectfully within diverse communities.
Unlike larger security companies, at Schafer Security Services we prioritise hiring and training locally, focusing on employing from the townships we serve. This approach not only supports local economies but also fosters a sense of pride and ownership within our team. By doing so, we ensure that our business remains rooted in the community, contributing positively to the local economy and culture.
