Inter-Con Security has won the coveted Outstanding Contract Security Company award this year, given out by the OSPAs at GSX.

"The company is honored to have been recognized by the security industry as the top security guarding company at this year's OSPAs Award Ceremony," said Henry Hernandez, President and CEO of Inter-Con Security.

Founded in 1973 by U.S. Army Veteran and retired LAPD Detective Lt. Enrique "Hank" Hernandez, Inter-Con has nearly tripled in size over the past three years to become one of the largest and fastest-growing security companies, employing over 37,000 employees.

Recent growth

This recent growth has been entirely organic, and Inter-Con has neither acquired nor merged with any other security company in its 50-year history. Inter-Con remains 100% owned by the Hernandez Family, making it one of the largest family-owned, certified Minority Business Enterprises in the United States.

Mr. Hernandez said, "Inter-Con's tremendous growth over the last several years would not be possible without the incredible people on our team who go above and beyond to support our clients and communities every day."

He adds, "The diversity of perspectives and skills within our organization significantly contributes to our ability to innovate and succeed in supporting some of the most complex, high-requirement programs in the world. We are incredibly proud to have won this year's Outstanding Contract Security Company Award."
