Many people came up to me afterwards and said they could relate to my words. Here's the acceptance:
Congratulations
to Checks N Balances, DIG Animation, and all others being recognized tonight.
This award has been very elusive to Reed Security in the past and I can tell
that after 5 tries – perseverance has finally paid off.
But it’s not
the first time perseverance has paid off for myself or Reed Security. We all
have our stories, but there’s one I want to share with you that has had the
most impact and continues to shape what Reed Security is today.
The story is
about a young teenager in small town Saskatchewan that was having problems with
his grades to the point of failure. Three times a year his parents would meet
the teachers and all three times the teachers would say “He’s really smart, but
he doesn’t apply himself”. (This story is not about Ken Achs).
One day a
teacher by the name of Mr. Watkins pulled the boy aside and said “you have no
idea what it says on the wall in the gym…do you – it’s our school motto.” The
boy didn’t have a clue. Mr. Watkins took the boy to the gym and had him read
the words aloud. The words read “Excellence
Takes Effort”. He took the time to explain the meaning to the boy and
through his coaching, leadership, and accountability - he was able to guide the
boy from the bottom of the class to being one of the top performers through
graduation.
Thank you Mr. Glynn Watkins for showing an interest in me and teaching me what
leadership is all about. It is your coaching and influence that’s helped me the
most as a person and shape the values at Reed Security. I adopted your “Excellence Takes Effort” slogan and
made it our own.
Whether it’s answering the phones, providing proposals, administration,
customer service, performing an install, or helping our clients after the sale
I can tell you that the Reed Security staff go the extra mile every day. Thank
you to Beverly Lee, JJ Feraro, Michelle Nagy, Julia Keil, Charissa Theissen,
Shelley Penner, Geoff Assman, Jason Marcal and Cody Rakai for being the
committed staff you are and for following my leadership. You are all everyday
leaders.
I also want
to thank our clients for putting your trust in Reed Security to protect you. We
understand that you are the only reason we are here and look forward to helping
you any way we can. We know you have a choice and I want thank you for
supporting our Independent and Local Small Business.

for your time.

Hi Virgil. I've been meaning to send you this email for a
few days now but have not found the time! Funny how that works out sometimes! I
just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to provide us with our home
security. Everything went really well with the entire process and we really
appreciate it very much. Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas! Curtis thoms.

1. Use Common Sense.
- If you lose a key, get the locks changed.
- Ask all strangers for identification.
- Never hide an extra key outdoors - especially
underneath a mat or on top of a light fixture. This is the first place the bad guys look.
Leave an extra house key with a friend or a neighbor.
2. Make it Difficult.
- Door chains are easy to bypass. Install deadbolts.
- Install a stopper or stick on all sliding doors and
windows.
- Install window bars on all basement windows.
- Install exterior motion lights.
3. Break-in's Occur
When You Are Away.
- Make sure all doors and windows are properly locked.
- Keep your premises well lit at night. Install timers
that turn lights on at different times. This gives the appearance that
someone is home.
- Test your alarm system regularly.
- Make sure your alarm is Armed when you leave.
- Consider installing alarm.com
by Reed Security.
- If you are travelling, have someone look after things
such as collecting your mail and newspapers, cutting your lawn and
shoveling your driveway.
- Advise our Rapid Response
Monitoring Station you will be away.

I have been working with Reed Security on numerous projects involing Door Access systems and Surveillance Camera systems. They have always been efficient, competant, and courteous. They have never failed to look after any problems as quickly as possible and stand behind their warranty 100 percent. Susan Snaddon, Saskatoon Housing Authority
