About the Houston Regional Veterans Awards

The Houston Regional Veterans Chamber of Commerce created the Veterans Business Awards to honor the remarkable achievements of veteran business owners who continue to make a positive impact within the Houston community.

These awards recognize companies that embody core values such as business growth, leadership, innovation, sustainability, and community impact – qualities that GPI Defense has demonstrated consistently.

The Veteran Business Award of Excellence specifically acknowledges a company’s commitment to stability, expansion, and sustainable success while fostering a supportive environment for both employees and the community. To be considered for this award, businesses must demonstrate a high standard of ethics, commitment to continuous improvement, and a focus on giving back.

For GPI Defense, receiving this award is a testament to the dedication and resilience that our team brings to the security industry every day.

The award was presented at the Houston Regional Veterans Awards Luncheon, an event that brought together veteran business leaders, local government officials, and industry partners to celebrate those who continue to serve their communities through business.

This honor reinforces our commitment not only to excellence in security but also to making a lasting impact in the Greater Houston area and beyond.

Our commitment to leadership and innovation has allowed us to adapt and thrive in the ever-evolving landscape of private security. For us, leadership is not just about guiding our team but setting an example within the industry by maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

One of our security officers, Chris Price, reflected on the importance of these values:

“At GPI Defense, we don’t just show up. We bring a level of commitment and discipline that you’d expect from a veteran team. It’s about putting our clients’ needs and safety first, every time. For us, we like to lead by example – lead from the front.”

A Track Record of Community Impact

At GPI Defense, we believe that our mission extends beyond protecting businesses and individuals… it also involves supporting the communities we serve.

As a veteran-led company, we understand the challenges that veterans face when transitioning from military service to civilian life. This understanding drives our commitment to creating meaningful opportunities and programs that support veterans and their families.

Our focus on community impact goes hand-in-hand with our dedication to hiring and empowering veterans. We actively recruit veterans and provide them with career opportunities that utilize their skills, discipline, and experience. Our company culture emphasizes a supportive environment that helps veterans succeed in new roles while continuing to serve their community in a meaningful way. This commitment has fostered a strong team ethos that benefits both our clients and the broader community.

One of our team members, Jose Alvarado, shared his perspective on working at GPI Defense:

“For me, GPI Defense is more than just putting on a uniform and working a post. What attracted me to GPI Defense in the first place is our standards and mission. I’m not only able to defend the good of humanity from the worst of it, but I’m also able to share our love for people by serving the community at large.”

Beyond our veteran-focused initiatives, GPI Defense actively participates in local events, charitable activities, and community partnerships throughout the Houston region.

One of those initiatives is partnering with Klein ISD Police Department for Holiday Heroes where we bring joy to in-need children.

 

 

Whether it’s supporting veteran organizations, sponsoring local events, or volunteering with nonprofit groups, our goal is to make a positive impact and strengthen the connections that bind our community together. Winning the Veteran Business Award of Excellence is a recognition of this ongoing commitment to community service and veteran support.
