Let’s dive into the journey of entrepreneurial spirit and the core values that have shaped Northwest Enforcement.
Building the Foundation
Chad’s firsthand encounters working in the security industry taught him the detrimental effects of subpar business practices. These disheartening experiences ignited a deep conviction within him. He knew there had to be a better way. Together with Karen, they shared a vision of revolutionizing the field and setting a new standard of excellence. At the heart of their mission was a steadfast commitment to integrity and transparency. They fostered a relationship-based approach and offered innovative solutions infused with genuine compassion. Inspired by a desire to be valuable, founders Karen and Chad set out to redefine the security industry’s landscape.
Karen brought an extensive background of sixteen years in communications and public relations to the table. Her invaluable expertise played a pivotal role in shaping Northwest Enforcement. Meanwhile, Chad’s experience in the Marine Corps endowed him with a profound understanding of the significance of collaboration and cooperation. This understanding fueled his dedication to imparting knowledge and guidance to individuals in security positions.
Combining their skill sets and drawing on their experiences, Karen and Chad embarked on a mission to establish a security company that would provide unparalleled service to their clients. In the early 2000s, their vision materialized into the tangible reality of Northwest Enforcement. To this day, it stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence.
Core Values Shaped Their Vision
