"The Division of Physical Security Management was responsive, informative, and a joy to work with. They explained the menu of choices available to us for office security measures and the technological systems that make them possible. I was able to make an informed decision that was right for us, and they implemented the work to meet our deadlines. During this time of instability and anxiety in our office, the DPSM team was a tremendous source of comfort and expertise. When people feel vulnerable, it matters more than ever to experience such supportive consultation."
