Hi-Tech Security Inc

Hi-Tech has been in business for over 15 years; they hire security guards trained by the police department and many off-duty police officers. They enforce the ""no trespassing signs on the private streets of CWE after dark. If you are driving through or walking through, be prepared to be stopped. The private streets have been frequented by robbers passing through and in fact there has been a robbery-murder. I believe that the residents are entitlled to hire private security to protect them and their homes from people who are univited. The area is clearly marked with ""No Trespassing"" signs designating it as private property. The same attitude that says ""No Trespassing"" signs are not for me, are the same people that view being stopped for violating the law is harrassment. Pros: Effective, professional more

Hi Tech has been in our community for years and have always been there when we needed them. I wanted to take a moment to recommend them to any community that wishes to obtain a reliable Security Force. Since they have patrolled our neighborhood, we have seen a drastic drop in random crimes, like vandalism and car thefts. They even stopped a robbery in progress!! We love Hi Tech and plan to keep them in our Neighborhood for a very long time! Pros: Very good protection Cons: cars seem a bit worn out. more

Hi-Tech Security regularly harasses individuals who utilize our services simply for being in the area. Whether sitting on a wall, waiting for our doors to open, or walking down the street, these security guards stop people, ask for i.d. and social security numbers, and threaten to write tickets for trespassing. Our latest individual even had on a police officers uniform (might have been an off-duty cop) but is it legal to wear it when he is working for Hi-Tech Security? Of course, they are responding to requests from the people who hired them, but the allegations are false, are they are not seeking to figure out the truth, they simply continue to harass. Cons: Rude, Harassing, Threatening, Unprofessional more

Over bearing, police academy dropouts that have nothing better to do than harass passer bys. I can sympathize with needing security in STL, but stopping a pedestrain, and then threatening to arrest them because they're walking on a sidewalk that the rent-a-cop says is ""private"" is ridiculous and illegal. If you need security in your neighborhood or building, look elsewhere for better quality protection - these guys will do you more harm than good. Cons: harassment, threatening average walker-bys more
