The Grey Dog Security Story
Welcome to Grey Dog Security, where safety meets service. We take pride not only in securing properties but also in building lasting relationships with our partners and communities. Our mission is rooted in service, trust, and community well-being — values that align perfectly with the work of the Grand Rapids Housing Commission (GRHC).
At Grey Dog Security, community involvement is at the core of who we are. We view every assignment as an opportunity to contribute to the safety, stability, and dignity of those we serve. Through on-site presence, outreach programs, and collaborative training, our guards don’t simply watch over properties — they become part of the neighborhood.
We understand that true security is about more than protection; it’s about partnership and peace of mind. Our team of highly trained professionals works closely with property management staff, residents, and community organizations to foster a safer, more connected environment.
Together, we aim to support GRHC’s mission of providing affordable housing opportunities that strengthen individuals, families, and the community.

Ransom Tower Apartments - Content
Located at 50 Ransom Avenue NE, Ransom Tower Apartments supports GRHC’s mission to provide safe, comfortable, and affordable housing for seniors aged 62 and older. Conveniently situated near downtown Grand Rapids, the property offers 153 one-bedroom units, each designed for accessibility and ease of living. Eligible residents receive a federal rental subsidy, ensuring rent does not exceed 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income. Ransom Tower’s proximity to cultural and recreational amenities, along with on-site support and services, creates a secure and engaging environment for older adults seeking independence and community.
Grey Dog Security proposes a safety program for Ransom Tower Apartments that prioritizes resident well-being, access control, and community engagement. Our security professionals will maintain a visible, welcoming presence to ensure residents feel safe while preserving the property’s friendly, neighborly atmosphere.
Working closely with GRHC’s on-site team, we will:
• Monitor public and shared areas with an emphasis on visibility and prevention • Support emergency readiness and resident safety protocols • Conduct routine safety checks and coordinate with management on any concerns
All assigned guards will complete Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) training and Basic Life Saving / Stop the Bleed certification to ensure preparedness for medical and behavioral emergencies. Through this partnership, Grey Dog Security aims to foster a secure, respectful environment where seniors can live confidently and comfortably.
