Security for Philadelphia's Anchor Institutions and Commercial Core
Philadelphia's commercial market is anchored by world-class healthcare and life sciences, a major research university ecosystem, and a growing technology sector in University City and Center City. Summit's unarmed officers bring professional training and consistent coverage to all of these environments.
We staff properties across every shift — days, evenings, overnight, and weekend — with experienced officers trained in visitor management, patrol, and incident documentation.
Philadelphia's robust public procurement system rewards MBE-certified vendors: Summit qualifies for OEO-mandated diversity goals on City and institutional projects.
