Our Staff
Eric Hall
Founder / CEO
Eric Hall was born and raised in Los Angeles. He began working as a security guard in 2006 and he enjoyed the work because it allowed him to meet many people and have a positive impact on the communities he worked in. In 2013, Eric received his Private Patrol Operators License through the Bureau of Security Investigative Services by the State of California, and once he was licensed, he founded AEPS.
He began to solicit business from a property manager in Watts, which was under abatement and nuisance. By hiring locally and involving the community, Eric and his team were able to turn around the property and save it for the owners. Working directly with LAPD and other organizations, they completed the job under the initial time estimated and under cost, stabilizing the safety of the property. After this success, the City Attorney’s office began to send AEPS’ information to other property management companies. Since then, they have been a local success.
In 2017, AEPS’ services were retained for a redevelopment project managed by the Los Angeles Housing Authority on a 22-acre property in Jordan Downs. AEPS coordinated a coalition that included HACLA, various city contractors, gang intervention, grassroots organizations, and the LAPD, all working together on the project. AEPS believes in home-grown solutions and so they hired many people within the community to secure the site during construction and after construction was completed.
Eric is passionate about employing local people, helping them on a path to success, making communities safer, and helping people develop a sense of pride in their community.
