These people will take your money if your the client. They will also take your money if your an employee. Lack integrity Unsafe Very unreliable as an employer and a security company all around. Wouldn't recommend.

Did not use this place. I was in a car and the driver had an accident. We were stopped in Maxxguard's parking lot.

This company was started by my granddaddy and he was a terrific man! My father and current owner, Frankie Lax, is the best dad ever and has been one of my biggest and strongest rocks through this hard time. Maxxguard Incorporated is a family owned business and will stay that way! It would be a blessing to serve you!

Just started working for Maxxguard. By far it is a great experience especially since I want to be a police officer. My jobs have been great so far.

I have worked for larger companies in other states but this family owned company is by far the best. Wouldnt be happier anywhere else. Also the more professional look of uniforms, nothing like what I've worn in the past!
