Help us congratulate Officer Zackery for being recognized as Officer of the Month!

During an overnight patrol, Officer Zackery was approached by a distressed parent searching for a missing child. Without hesitation, he began searching the surrounding area and continued toward a nearby wooded area, where he located the child. Zackery remained with the child until local police arrived, helping ensure their safety and well-being.

His quick response, vigilance, and compassion made a meaningful difference during a critical situation. Thank you, Officer Zackery, for stepping up when it mattered most.

Leadership Summit 2026 was all about growth in action.

Signal owners came together to gain practical strategies, share ideas, and build plans for the future. From strengthening operations and developing talent to identifying new opportunities for growth, attendees left with actionable takeaways designed to make an immediate impact.

Now it's time to put those ideas into action. Here's to the next 90 days of growth across the Signal network.

What are your top 3 goals for the next 90 days?

During Leadership Summit, we partnered with Chariots4Hope to surprise Dana, a wonderful single mother of three, with a vehicle.

For Dana, this vehicle means more than reliable transportation. It means peace of mind and a greater sense of normalcy for her family. She now has dependable transportation to get to her full-time job, and her oldest daughter no longer has to ride the city bus alone to school.

A special thank you to the Signal of Fort Myers and Naples, FL team for generously donating their decommissioned patrol vehicle to make this possible.

This is what is all about – showing up for our communities and making a meaningful difference. 💙

A marked patrol vehicle and a visible officer do more than you'd think. For construction sites and multi-family properties, that presence alone is often what keeps trespassing, vandalism, and theft from happening in the first place.

Signal's mobile patrols are built to flex around your budget and your risk level, whether that's one pass a night or five. Every stop is documented through our EDGE reporting platform, so you always know your property was checked and by whom.

It's one of the services that built our reputation here in West Des Moines, and it's still one of the most requested for a reason.

Want patrol coverage tailored to your property? Send us a message and we'll build a plan around your schedule and budget.

Congratulations to Supervisor Christian on being named Hero of the Month!

During a routine spot check, Supervisor Christian noticed an active fire alarm. He immediately sprang into action, working alongside an officer to locate the source, contact 911, inspect the building, and help residents evacuate safely.

His quick thinking, leadership, and coordination with emergency responders helped prevent the fire from spreading, protect residents, and support post-incident recovery through damage assessment and documentation.

Thank you for going above and beyond when it mattered most. Please join us in congratulating Supervisor Sanchez on being named Hero of the Month! 👏

Training is what separates a security presence from a real security partner.

At Signal of Des Moines, we're more than a local provider, we're an active partner in this community's safety. Our armed officers train to Iowa Law Enforcement Academy standards, covering everything from de-escalation to defensive tactics, because Central Iowa deserves protection that's felt, not just seen.

Want that level of protection for your property, business, or event? Message us to talk through a custom security plan.

THE SIGNAL DIFFERENCE: OWN YOUR TERRITORY.

You invest in building your business. You shouldn’t have to worry about another franchise opening right across the street and competing for the same customers.

With Signal, your franchise comes with a protected territory, giving you the space to build your customer base without the threat of another Signal franchise being placed right on top of you.
Your territory. Your customers. Your business.

While some franchise models can allow locations to be placed close together, Signal gives franchise owners defined territory protection designed to give you room to grow.

Because when you’re building a business, you should know what you own and who you’re competing against.

Own your territory. Own your future. Join Signal.

Accountability isn't a buzzword here, it's built into how we operate. Every dedicated officer and patrol at Signal of Des Moines is backed by our EDGE technology platform, giving clients real visibility into scheduling, activity, and reporting instead of just taking our word for it.

It's part of why property managers, HOA boards, and event organizers across West Des Moines choose us: a local team with a global standard for follow-through.

The holidays bring packed events, tree lightings, pop-up markets, and after-hours shopping crowds — and every one of them deserves the right security plan. That's why our team is available for event-specific holiday coverage this season: trained security officers on-site for the events that matter most, tighter scheduling, and closer coordination with every location we serve.

Whether it's a holiday launch event, a weekend rush, or an evening in-store promotion, our goal is simple: give our customers peace of mind so they can focus on the season, not the "what ifs."

Here's to a safe, secure, and well-covered holiday season for every event.

Whether stepping up to support the team, volunteering when coverage is needed, or approaching every situation with professionalism, Che leads by example. His reliability and commitment to providing exceptional service have made a lasting impact on both his team and clients served.

Che's efforts do not go unnoticed, and we're proud to recognize him as our Officer of the Month! 🎉

Every property is different, and so is every security plan. That's the mindset behind our team in West Des Moines: mobile patrol, dedicated on-site officers, dispatch and alarm response, visitor management, and event security, all customized to fit the property, not the other way around.

Whether it's a single-building commercial site, an HOA community, a construction site, or a high-profile event requiring door security and access screening, our officers are trained for the specific post they're assigned to and backed by the resources of a national network with local, hands-on accountability.

That's what "no job too small, no job too large" actually means for us. Scalable coverage, consistent standards, and a team that shows up prepared no matter the size of the assignment.

Have a property or event that needs a custom security plan? Send us a message and let's talk through what coverage looks like for you.

Local ownership. Global backing. That combination is why Matt Holeton brought Signal to Des Moines.

It means a security team that actually knows this community, backed by the resources, training, and infrastructure of a national company. Mobile patrol, dedicated guard services, 24/7 dispatch, all delivered by people who live where they work.

That's the difference between hiring a vendor and partnering with your neighbors.

The basics of home security go a long way — but they are just the starting point.

Lock your doors. It sounds obvious, but a locked door is your first and most immediate line of defense, day and night.

Install cameras. Place them at key entry points and review footage regularly. When the home is unoccupied, a live feed gives you real-time visibility into what is happening on your property.

Light your exterior. Motion-sensing lights around entrances, driveways, and walkways eliminate the cover of darkness and deter unwanted activity before it starts.

Know your neighbors. A trusted neighbor who knows your routine can spot what you cannot — unusual vehicles, unexpected visitors, or activity that does not belong.

These steps build a foundation. But a foundation is not a complete solution. Signal of Des Moines provides custom residential security built around your property, your schedule, and your level of risk. From mobile patrol to officer presence, we bring professional-grade security to homes and communities across Central Iowa.

If you are ready to go beyond the basics, reach out to learn what a tailored security plan looks like for your home.

Security isn't just about having someone on-site. It's about confidence, deterrence, and knowing problems get handled before they become incidents.

Signal of Des Moines delivers customized security solutions for commercial properties, residential communities, construction sites, industrial facilities, and events — backed by professional officers and proactive patrols.

When a private event requires security for a member of the President's Cabinet and a candidate for Iowa's next Governor, the standard isn't optional.

Signal was selected to help provide security for a private event attended by U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Iowa gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn.

Signal's role in moments like this is about being trusted to protect people at the highest levels, with the same training, discipline, and attention to detail we bring to every property, business, and event we serve. That trust is earned through rigorous officer training and a track record our clients rely on, regardless of who they are.

This is the caliber of protection Central Iowa businesses, communities, and events can count on. Signal is proud to serve, no matter the room we're asked to secure.

When you see a Signal vehicle, you can rest easy knowing someone is actively watching over your property.

Our mobile patrol officers do far more than pass through. Every patrol includes property inspections, lock checks, exterior observations, and incident documentation — all performed by trained security professionals who know your site and take their responsibility seriously.

And when something does happen, our officers are already in the area and ready to respond fast.

That presence matters. It deters problems before they start, and it gives residents, employees, and property managers the confidence that comes from knowing Signal is on patrol.

Mobile patrol services are available for commercial properties, residential communities, HOAs, and more throughout Central Iowa. Contact us to learn what a customized patrol plan looks like for your property.
