AT Security Service's Relocation of Headquarters From California to Arizona Will Create 200 Jobs

AT Security Service has announced it will relocate its headquarters to Scottsdale, AZ, from Irvine, CA. The company plans to spend $5.1 million in capital investments and fill 100 jobs initially, then 100 more jobs within three years.

AT Security will move into a 58,000-sq.-ft. office in the Perimeter Center. "It's going to cost us a lot less to operate in Arizona," explained Jacques Davis, AT Security president and CEO.

AT Security provides corporate security, executive protection and alarm-response services. It will schedule a job fair in November to hire employees for human resources and accounting. According to the Arizona Commerce Authority, the average annual salary is expected to be $50,000. Presently the firm employs nearly 500 associates working in 23 U.S. offices.

"Scottsdale was pretty eager for us to come to Scottsdale," Davis said. The Arizona Commerce Authority reimbursed AT Security $250,000 for its moving expenses as an incentive to relocate to Arizona.

Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane said the company is "a welcome addition to the diverse mix of innovative businesses, large and small, who are finding success here."
