Sgt. James Ramirez

On April 26th, 2011 at approximately 7:40pm, Security was dispatched for a fire alarm at resident's home within the Woodfield Country Club. Upon arrival, Fire Rescue was immediately dispatched due to the visible signs & smell of smoke in the air. A perimeter check of the home to determine if the residents were inside revealed an unsecured rear door and again there was visible heavy smoke coming from the kitchen area within the home. Sgt. Ramirez entered the home through the unsecured door and was able to find his way through the dense smoke and found a pot burning on the stove top with a full flame on the burner. Sgt. Ramirez immediately turned the burner off, removed the pot and was able to open several windows to ventilate the area.

Fire Rescue responded and set up a large fan at the main entrance to the home to further assist with the smoke removal. The residents were contacted by security and arrived home shortly after and spoke with Sgt. Ramirez regarding the incident.

Sgt. Ramirez has demonstrated initiative, professionalism and dedication. His quick thinking and actions reflect Titan International's overall dedication to the safety and well being of residents.

The resident was extremely grateful for the heroic actions of Sgt. Ramirez as well as the entire security staff working that evening.

Officers Jacques and Martin

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of an excellent job Jacques and Martin did responding to a possible home invasion at our house in Boca Isles South.

When we were in Lake Barrington, Illinois our security system went off in our house in Boca Isle South. When I called the guard station, Martin took the call and immediately dispatched Jacques to our house. Within minutes, Martin called me back and told me that Jacques walked the property and everything was O.K.

It turned out that one of the sensors malfunctioned setting off the alarm. More importantly, this could have been a real situation and the quick action taken by these two individuals was impressive.

I'm a police officer with the Boca Raton Police Department and wanted to inform you of the thorough work one of your security officers performed this past weekend. I was dispatched to a domestic disturbance on Saturday morning (January 22) in which a 13 year old juvenile ran away from his mother while they were waiting for Saturday detention at Omni Middle School. I informed my communication center to contact security in the event the juvenile ran into the community. Security officer Sgt. Jon Breger responded towards the Jog entrance and made contact with the mother who was in her vehicle just outside the exit gate. She appeared very upset over the situation and Jon comforted the mother the best he could. Jon was able to contact the juvenile via his cell phone after numerous failed attempts by the mother. Jon informed me that he was on the phone with the juvenile who gave Jon his location (behind Walgreens) for me to relay it over the radio so units can check for him.

We were able to locate the juvenile and reunited him with his mother. In my line of work, its greatly appreciated getting recognized for a job well done and I didn't want this incident to go unnoticed for Jon. He did a great job assisting me!
