​“Sapphire’s strong security background has consistently pleased my clients. Before, when I mention to potential security vendors that I was in the Cannabis Industry, they would want to put a premium on their offerings.  

With Sapphire, they bid out the security equipment and install with proven equipment vendors for us to get the best quality and pricing. They have saved my clients tens of thousands of dollars per job! I will continue to refer them. Tony is the best!"
