Terry Jones Retires After Decades of Contribution to the Security Industry

Flint, Michigan, September 22, 2023 – De-escalation and seeking a positive outcome were the pillars of security for Terry L. Jones. He has shared that vision with the many employees at Teachout Security that he has mentored over his 30-plus years in the industry.

Today, we congratulate Terry Jones MA, CPP, CHPA on his retirement earlier this month. Terry has been integral to Teachout’s success for many years, particularly in the Healthcare arena.

Terry began his employment with Teachout in the mid 80’s working directly for Bernard Teachout. He went on to work for public safety at Hurley Medical Center. In 2007, he returned to Teachout and worked tirelessly to help grow and develop their management team and their Healthcare Program. He has been a mentor to many of the employees of Teachout as well as countless others within the industry. His drive for continuing education and credentialing in the industry was evident in his service on the Healthcare Council for ASIS and his involvement with the International Association of Healthcare Security and Safety.

Please join us in congratulating Terry on a job well done and wishing him well in his retirement.

“Terry hired me, mentored me, encouraged me, and ultimately taught me how successful a security program can be
if you hold a standard and always strive to achieve a positive outcome.” 
– Bartholomew J. Bennett, V.P. Teachout Security

“Terry Jones set an example of professionalism in every aspect of his craft and
challenged us to pursue the best version of ourselves, individually and as a team.” 

– Derek Loomis, Director of Operations

Terry’s vast knowledge of the security industry is an incredible resource, and his willingness to share
his experiences (good and bad) as teaching moments for all is very beneficial! He is a treasured resource! 
– Kellie Staley, NAO Manager

Terry, thank you for your dedication to Teachout Security
and the Security Industry!
