Safe Surroundings was founded in late 2006 by Rick Paxton. We started off as a company providing drug screening and education to parents. As the needs of the community grew, so did we and in 2007, Safe Surroundings began doing full service pre-employment screening for businesses nationwide. Since then, we have grown more and more and now have an array of services for many different types of clients to include full service investigations, training and more.

 

Owner Rick Paxton began his security career in 1986 with the US Navy providing shpboard security and vessel protection in the Persian Gulf.
