Ranger vs Allied Universal
Local Florida elite vs. national volume provider
Allied Universal is the largest security firm in North America. That scale wins procurement checkboxes but often loses on account attention, supervisor quality, and same-day deployment. Ranger is Florida-owned, veteran-led, and staffs every account with a named supervisor.
