About Price Companies
William J. Price, the President and founder of Price Companies, Inc., retired
from the Oklahoma City Police Department (OCPD) as a Lieutenant after twenty years of service.
During his law enforcement career, Lieutenant Price commanded the OCPD's contingent
for VIP security (U. S. Presidents, Vice Presidents, Cabinet Secretaries and other high-level
U. S. and foreign dignitaries). In 1982 Lieutenant Price was assigned the responsible for the
creation, implementation, and administration of the Field Training and Evaluation Program, the
formalized on-the-job training program which is still in use by the OCPD.
Safety
and Security Services, Inc. (SSSI), was established in 1977 when Lieutenant
Price began offering private security to celebrities visiting Oklahoma City. SSSI grew in a
steady and deliberate fashion, through client referral only, until incorporated in 1982. With
an ongoing research and development effort, SSSI, continued to offer additional services and
established itself as one of Oklahoma's premier providers of complete contract security services,
offering armed and unarmed security officers, patrol, intrusion alarm response and closed circuit
TV (CCTV).
In 1989, SSSI, responded to its clients' growing security needs with the addition of
the Corporate Investigation Division. CID is comprised of investigators with experience in covert
and overt operations. All investigators are licensed and the majority have a background in law
enforcement. Investigative services include internal and external fraud, employee theft and
misconduct, and worker's compensation fraud to name a few. Pre-employment background searches
were added in 1994 to assist clients with employment decisions.
In 1995, Price Companies was established as an umbrella under which all current and
future services would operate.
That same year, Safety and Environmental Services, Inc., was created. SESI provides
quality, cost-effective safety and environmental training for certifications required by OSHA.
Training is available on-site or in our classroom. SESI also provides Environmental Due Diligence
Compliance, and Phase 1 and 2 Audits,.
As CCTV became more advanced and customer demand for the product increased, the Security
Electronics Division was established in order to offer clients the latest technology available.
SED designs systems according to each client's specifications and needs. CCTV systems have the
advantage of providing increased security, usually without adding to payroll expenditures.
Price Companies continues to research and develop products and services to meet its
clients varied security needs.
