WATCHTOWER`S COMMITTMENT
Watchtower Security strives to make a positive change in all the communities in which we partner. Helping to reduce criminal and nuisance behavior is a great start for any community. We strongly believe when you partner with a community, simply reducing crime is not enough. It is simply the first step in creating lasting and meaningful change.
TOWERS OF EXCELLENCE
In 2014, Watchtower Security helped establish Towers of Excellence with the intention of empowering and inspiring today’s youth to become tomorrow’s leaders. Through mentorship programs, at-risk youths are assisted in discovering a successful path to high school, college, and beyond. Watchtower Security and Towers of Excellence believe all people deserve a quality education and enriching life experiences. Towers of Excellence is helping communities by providing at-risk youth with this core foundation. Empowering the leaders of tomorrow with meaningful and positive choices enhances their lives and the lives of their fellow man.
Towers of Excellence currently has 45 kids in the Chicago program, all of whom are proud and excited. Our first class (2015) of students are now sophomores in high school, each of the first 12 students was accepted into the city’s select high schools which almost ensures them a college education. Our students have relied on our continued support during this pandemic. We are providing our normal mentorship/curriculum along with proper technology access to stay ahead of the struggles within our students’ home environments.
We are currently moving forward with opening a Towers program in St. Louis. This is a large investment from Watchtower, helping disadvantaged children stay ahead of the system remains important to our mission. This will allow local employees to participate in a more meaningful way (mentorship, internships, training, etc).

NEAR SOUTHSIDE EMPLOYMENT COALITION
Empowering members of the community is a core belief that Watchtower Security and the Near Southside Employment Coalition feel very strongly about. Few organizations embody this value system more than The Near Southside Employment Coalition. From its inception in 1983, this organization’s goal is to eliminate unemployment in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. Watchtower Security provides managed video surveillance services to the Near Southside Employment Coalition free of charge.
Adopt-A-Family Event
Watchtower Security’s commitment to community engagement goes beyond traditional business values. We are thrilled to share the success of our 2023 Adopt-A-Family charity event, highlighting the incredible generosity of our employees. Through their donations, our team raised $3,860—a sum we matched up to $3,000, bringing the total to over $6,860. This joint effort allowed us to support organizations such as Our Little Haven, ALIVE, and the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition. Additionally, we proudly sponsored the band trip for two local high schoolers. At Watchtower Security, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve.
THE WATCHTOWER WAY COMMITTEE
The mission of the Watchtower Way Committee is to foster a culture of excellence, inclusion, and joy within our organization and beyond. Through outreach, employee recognition, and special events we strive to make the world a better place, one community at a time.
