Byers Security Consulting

Anthony recently came over to help us make an earthquake plan, even though our house is structurally retrofitted and it wasn’t a «big» job for him. He was generous with his time and looked at every room from top to bottom. As parents with a new baby and a two-​story house, we weren’t sure what to do when the big one hits. We now have a very concrete plan with some easy fixes to make our various safety spots even safer – and he did all of this as part of his «community service» work (i.e. at no cost). Clearly an expert at all things safety, I was happy to find that he was also caring and super easy to communicate with. He addressed all of my concerns and now we have a clear plan of action based on various scenarios. I can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing we are prepared thanks to Anthony. I highly recommend him to make your home and family safer.

Anthony is the best security expert for residential and commercial needs. He came highly recommended to me and I can certainly see why! He provides top notch customer service and education to his clients. I am extremely happy with the work that he did for me at my home. If you are considering security for your home or business, look no further — Anthony is simply the best!

Anthony cares passionately about the safety of his community and clients. We felt secure in our new neighborhood (Fremont, between the Laurel and Fruitvale) and trusted the standard, big-​name alarm system that came with the house. Anthony, however, instantly assessed our vulnerabilities and gave my husband a list of improvements to make. He was generous, firm, diplomatic, and culturally sensitive. Nonetheless, my husband procrastinated for 4 months, and last week our home was burglarized while we were running a few, quick errands. Everyone was dismayed, but the method of entry was the exact one Anthony had predicted, and our alarm system’s blind spots were revealed just as he’d anticipated. To our horror, the burglars returned that same night, our neighbor spotting them on our roof while we slept inside! Anthony rushed over to check on us and walk us through both the immediate and the long-​term steps we needed to take in order to feel safe. Anthony also connected us with OPD and our options for making the most of law enforcement resources. Now, when my mother calls from out of state to check on us, she asks, «How is Anthony feeling about the house?» Clearly, he’s the gold standard!

We recently bought a new home in the Upper Laurel District in Oakland. It is a cute cottage with a large front yard and many windows and trees around it. Unfortunately, that makes it quite vulnerable because there are a lot of points of entry and cover. Given the current property crime profile of our neighborhood, we decided to hire an expert. In just a couple of hours, Anthony gave us a trove of information, tailored to our particular needs and budget. The next day, he sent us a full report, complete with recommendations, phone numbers and tips, and within days, our new home was secured with the highest level of safety and latest technology. Anthony is personable, knowledgeable, and very practical. He helped us save money where we could and invest where we should. I recommend his services with out any reservations. For us, it was a no-​brainer.
