TWO OF THE COMMUNITY’S PUBLIC SAFETY LEADERS COME TOGETHER
In recent weeks, our newly promoted Security Director Javier Silva met with recently appointed Alameda Police Chief Nishant Joshi to discuss the 40-year partnership between Harbor Bay Isle Security and the Alameda Police Department.
During the meeting, both leaders quickly formed a bond based on their similar backgrounds, work ethics and most importantly their steadfast desire to keep the Community of Harbor Bay Isle one of the safest and best places to live in Bay Area. With both having extensive experience, the two agreed that public safety is constantly evolving and in order to succeed, reduce crime and provide the highest level of service, both departments must be forward thinking, proactive and transparent – all with an end goal of maintaining the community’s trust.
“My goal is to not only continue but strengthen the long-standing relationship HBI Security has built over the last several decades with the Alameda Police Department” said Security Director Javier Silva. “Our departments rely on each other daily, all with a common goal of keeping the community safe.”
