Registration $30, includes lunch
Patti Phelps is the owner and CEO of Phelps Security, Inc., which is the oldest security guard firm in Memphis, celebrating 69 Years of service to our community and is also the largest certified woman owned entity in Memphis, TN. Phelps Security provides security guard and patrol services to businesses and residential areas in the Memphis community and in the Mid-South.
Patti joined the company in 1981 to assist her late husband, Lloyd Phelps, Jr., who was then working for his parents, the owners of the company at the time. As a team, they brought different business talents to the company, and together began to realize a different vision for the company’s future. In 1982, Lloyd and Patti purchased the business from his family and began a true partnership that changed the trajectory of the company. Together they turned around the struggling security firm and rebuilt it again after a fire destroyed their facilities in 1988. That teamwork and ability to come back even stronger is what Phelps considers her crowning professional achievement.
“Our firm today continues to be managed by the very individuals who will feel the ultimate result of any failures,” states Patti Phelps, the CEO of Phelps Security. “Because we are confident in the level of service and dedication we provide, we are proud to put our family name on our company. Our trucks bear the Phelps name, as do the uniforms of our officers. We are proud enough of our product to stake our name on it.”
Phelps is proud of the numerous awards the company has received for service to clients and the Memphis community. Phelps Security has been recognized with the Civilian Excellence Award, the Police Department Patch from the Memphis Police Department and a Certificate of Recognition for their support of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. Phelps Security is also a recipient of the Spark Award, recognizing those igniting change and making a positive impact on the Mid-South,
Patti is proud to serve on the Fallen Officer Memorial Committee, the CrimeStoppers of Memphis and Shelby County Board, serving as Board Chair for 2020 and 2021, and 2019 Vice-Chair. She also served several years as Vice President of the Commission on Missing and Exploited Children (COMEC) Board of Directors. She is a member of CityCurrent and the LeBonheur National Leadership Council. Patti has also been a recipient of the 2015 BOMA President’s award for her Emergency Management preparation for the organization, was recognized as a 2019 Memphis Business Journal Superwoman in Business and a Memphis Magazine Security Power Player for the past 6 years.
