About Us

Message from the founder & CEO

Vista Security Services International (VSS) was founded by William A. Lopez, a retired police officer with over 38 years of experience. He has built a reputation as a highly trained specialist in Crime Prevention, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and Criminal Investigations.

Hello, my name is William A. Lopez. Sixteen years ago, I founded Vista Security Services International based in Miami, Florida. My goal was to create a cost effective, professional, uniformed security guard company with exceptional service to not only meet, but to exceed our clients' expectations while understanding their unique needs and security objectives. At Vista Security Services we understand that we need to be flexible and responsive to our clients' sudden or unexpected emergencies at all times.

At Vista Security Services International, it all starts from the moment an employee is hired. Once hired, regardless of their prior work experience, and before being assigned to a post, our licensed security officers receive additional training in the fields of basic crime prevention, interpersonal skills and customer service. Once assigned to a post, a security officer is responsible for meeting all of our client's expectations by complying with all written and verbal post orders. At Vista Security Services International, we believe in going the extra mile for our clients. We look forward to having the opportunity to present our qualifications and discuss how we can be of service to your company or community. We're just a call away. Thank you!

Unique Security Plan

Vista Security Services International (VSS) understands that every security plan is unique based on the needs and challenges of the individual client and their professional environment. Prior to presenting the client with a proposal, we first complete a security and crime prevention survey that analyzes and identifies weaknesses, deficiencies and potential liabilities.

Properly Insured

Vista Security Services' liability insurance exceeds the state mandated requirements for coverage. Clients are provided documentation of our Liability and Worker's Compensation insurance coverage. (Insurance coverage can also be adjusted to meet a client's specific requirements)

Workforce Selection

At Vista Security Services International, we take pride in hiring and training only the most qualified, ethical and dedicated candidates. We conduct complete background checks which include; fingerprinting, drug testing and prior employment history verification. All candidates must pass a written and oral exam, and undergo an intense interview process, prior to being offered employment.

We strive to create a high morale work environment, which is accomplished by providing our employees and staff with competitive pay, health care insurance options, pay incentives, promotional opportunities, and an awards program.

Testimonials

Since 2008, Vista has provided us with armed, unarmed, uniformed security services to include armed high value cargo security escorts. Since then, they have proved to be the most reliable and effective security company that I have worked with.

Vista Security Services is professional and efficient in their proactive approach in their security services. They are always well presented and able to work both independently and as part of our team. Their security supervisors and officers are conscientious, hardworking, well trained and understand the importance of their roll in security in our facility.

In addition, the security officers are trained to conduct the checking and documentation of paperwork at our store’s customer pick-up location.

For approximately sixteen (16) years, Vista Security Services International has been delivering high-quality uniformed, armed, and unarmed security services to Borinquen Medical Centers, throughout the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County.  As President and CEO, I am very satisfied with their security services and their job performance.  They have trained their security officers to be very professional, courteous and attentive to the security needs of our patients, staff, and guests.  They have responsive account managers, support staff, which includes their executive team, who are readily available to help us with any issues, concerns, or emergencies, that may occur at any of our facilities.  I strongly recommend them.
