Moonlight Security Incorporated

03/27/2008 Posted by bacardistuff

my husband got a job with Moonlight. No training. Just handed him a handbook and told him to read it. They then sent him to a Dayton metropolitan housing project to keep an eye on the tenants. While it was easy part time $, I'm not sure I would hire a company who hires zero experience, hands them a handbook and the rest is OJT. My husband didn't even need to take a CPR/first aid course. I have no idea where the other posters got the idea about the retired police officers or off-duty police officers. I met a few employees that we became friends with and nobody ever mentioned a police background.

Pros: Nice uniforms

Cons: they'll hire anybody off the street w/o a record. experience be damned.

Moonlight Security is a good company with its heart in the right place but certin things keep it from being the best. i.e. their upper eschalon are kind of a joke they promote on a longevity basis instead of the best person for the job. Some of the "seargents" and "lieutinits" just want to write up an employee instead of talking to them to better the way they work but that is because they dont know how. As for their guards and corporals these are the guys keeping the company afloat these are the guys who know what to do. I know this because I am an ex-employee. overall I would recomend this company souly because despite their inner struggles they can all put that aside for the saftey of the contract dont let the bad reviews fool you its probably someone who was tresspassed for whatever reason. but take it from an ex-employee who has delt with the bad as well as the good and let me tell you the good out number the bad 2 to 1 so if you need security please choose this company they are the best in the miami valley area bottom line. Some people have said to choose P.S.I. and thats fine but look at how long they have been around 2 to 3 years tops while Moonlight has been around since 1999 thats 9 years also look at the number of contracts they have compared to P.S.I. I can guarantee that psi dont have half the contracts that moonlight has. one thing is for certin if you have a problem and need security call moonlght because 9 times out of 10 the problems you have will go away just at the sight of moonlight who does have a reputation for showing no mercy in the eye of someone you really dont want on your property or in your place of buisness. To all my friends at moonlight thank you for the fun times and please keep up the good work and never let the bad reviews worry you because they know not what they speak of if only they could walk in our boots you are all appreciated. Thank You

Pros: Proffesinal Employee's/certified in EVERY device carried/Care for your saftey

Cons: Some internal problems but wht company doesent have them

My company has used Moonlight Security several times over the last few years for various reasons. A big thing that has impressed me with this company is that there has been a few times we have called to use them with little notice but they still manage to cover our contract and the officers they send look sharp in uniform and know what they are doing. The upper management staff that you deal with are very professional and you can tell they are not just a former "security guard" that has been with the company so long they stick them in the office.

Pros: They have several police officers when needed. Their armed and unarmed guards are very professional.

the other review is right all of the " off duty police officers " work in the clubs i went to apply but then i found out wat there starting pay was " 7.25 per hour " and they dont have any health or retirement benfits. so i decided not to work for them i am looking in to P.S.I. they r a hands on company they pay more and the have health benifits i will not recomend them to any one i kno some of there guards and those that i do kno say that the guy that over sees everything is a hot head and a pric so i say the hell with moonlight go P.S.I.

Pros: they have alot of good guards

Cons: there pay stinks and some of there supervisiors have the wrong attidude

Moonlight Security boasts having off duty police officers that serve as their security but this is a yarn. They have an employee base of over 50 officers and *maybe* at any given time will 2-3 of them be real off duty cops. They allow their officers to carry guns, pepper spray, and other defense materials that normal officers would carry- and yet many of them have not taken the courses to carry these items. (Law suit waiting to happen) Most of all, the guy who manages the place is a hothead and hard to deal with should you have a problem. They have lazy guards who sleep most the shifts if are requesting night watch type services. I would highly recommend passing on this company. They are more expensive then some of the other companies in the area mostly because they boast their "off duty police officers..." IF- IF- those officers DO work on any of their contracts its the clubs they patrol. Rather then solving conflict quietly, they'd much rather just shut the place down or allow Dayton Police department to do so (check with other clubs, this has happened so much more then it should have resulting in business revenue loss.) As for their "investigations"- thats a joke. This company is nothing more then a plain old security company with really young guys or much older retired guys who can't find a job any place else. Save your money- use a different service for your security needs.

Pros: Professional Looking Uniforms

Cons: Lazy Service, Expensive, False Advertisement
