I am writing to offer my highest recommendation for STRAPT Security, which has been providing armed security services to our Jewish Center campus — a synagogue, early childcare, and elementary school — since October 2023. Our experience with STRAPT has been exceptionally positive.
In today's environment, the safety and security of our community are of utmost importance. STRAPT and Charlie Bollenbaugh have consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, vigilance, and reliability. Their team of armed guards has been instrumental in ensuring the safety of our facilities, both during school hours and synagogue services.
The guards employed by STRAPT are not only highly trained and experienced but also exhibit a commendable demeanor. They are approachable, yet maintain an authoritative presence that reassures our staff, congregants, and students. Their proactive approach — including regular patrols and quick responses to any potential issues — has significantly contributed to a secure and calm environment.
STRAPT has shown great flexibility and willingness to address specific security needs and adapt to any changes in our protocols. Their commitment to ongoing communication and collaboration with our administration has been invaluable.
I wholeheartedly recommend STRAPT Security for any organization seeking a reliable, professional, and effective security service. Their expertise and dedication have greatly contributed to the safety and peace of mind within our community.

I am writing to provide a reference for STRAPT Security in general, and Charles Bollenbaugh in particular. I have been doing business with STRAPT for three and a half years, since moving to Phoenix in 2021. I advise on the safety and security of several religious facilities and Jewish schools in the Phoenix area, and in service of these organizations I have had reason to call on STRAPT for a variety of services. They have provided direct armed security, training, and consulting. I have also referred them to numerous others in need.
I have always been satisfied with their work, their work ethic, and their underlying focus on making sure they provide relevant services. Security is a complex array of people and systems, and making a real difference requires meeting the needs of multiple constituencies. We all agree that people should be able to pray, and children able to learn, without being murdered. However, some people want the place to look secure, others want it as welcoming as possible; some are budget tight, others want to invest in whatever is needed. We have counted on them as a partner in facing these challenges and elevating the security of our community.
I have found Charlie and his team to be flexible, knowledgeable, and sensitive to the needs of the community. Their advice has had as much impact as their guards. I trust them and would not hesitate to recommend them again.

We have recently used STRAPT Security for a Jewish Holiday event in December and we were extremely impressed at their professionalism, work ethic, and communication. From the beginning of the process, it was obvious to see their attention to detail and desire for excellent customer service.
We are so grateful for their help and will happily use them for our future events that require security.
