As we look to this next phase of serving our community, Pye-Barker is top notch – known for exceeding customer and employee expectations. I’m thrilled with this partnership because it allows us to serve more of our community in a manner that upholds our beliefs of what business should look like.”

Choice Security’s leadership team and security professionals will continue to service new and existing customers.

They’re true stewards of the community, incredibly knowledgeable and always act in the best interest of their customer. It’s very easy to see how they’ve become the preferred security provider in Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland.”
