• Position: Business Profile - Purcell Services

Purcell Services, a division of NANA Management Services, is Alaska's premier security organization. Ronald Otte, Director of Operations for Purcell, says that "our security services are comprehensive, technologically advanced and meet the needs of remote-site, urban and rural business clients."

With more than three decades of experience guarding and protecting people and property, Purcell has expanded its sphere of operations beyond its original remote-site oilfield camps to include hospitals, senior living centers, air carriers and commercial businesses of every description.

"At Purcell we bring integrity and experience to work every day," declares Duane Udland, Security Manager. "We are the largest and most-experienced security service provider on Alaska's famed North Slope, providing year-round security for the ConocoPhillips Alpine oilfield in The National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, and the greater Prudhoe Bay oilfield operation of British Petroleum."

Gone are the days when security meant a lock on the door and a doorknob shaker who came around sometime after dark. Now circumstances necessitate a far more sophisticated approach to security in today's world of concern and uncertainty.

At the core of Purcell's strategically focused security resources is its management team, all seasoned personnel with training from some leading police agencies in America. Between them, Otte and Udland have more than 70 years of law enforcement experience in public services.
