Allied Universal CEO Raises $2.5M for Human Trafficking Victims

IRVINE, Calif. — Allied Universal global chairman and CEO Steve Jones and wife Stacy Jones raised almost $2.5 million for Vera’s Sanctuary in its annual Hot Summer Nights fundraiser. Vera’s Sanctuary provides licensed drug treatment services for human trafficking victims ranging in age from 15 to 26.

“If someone in the U.S. is battling addiction, experiencing homelessness, or escaping domestic violence, they have access to nearly 30,000 residential care facilities,” says Steve Jones in the company announcement. “But for victims of human trafficking, there’s only one licensed residential drug treatment shelter in the entire country—and it happens to be just miles from our global headquarters in Orange County.

“That’s why Stacy and I are committed to shining a spotlight on this critical issue. Each year, we underwrite and host our Hot Summer Nights charity event to raise awareness and ensure every dollar goes directly to supporting Vera’s Sanctuary,” he says.

Why Allied Universal CEO Helps Human Trafficking Victims

This year’s Hot Summer Nights fundraiser was attended by more than 650 guests and supported by nearly 100 sponsors. In the past seven years, the guests, donors and sponsors of the Hot Summer Nights fundraiser have raised more than $13 million for Vera’s Sanctuary, the announcement says.

Residents of Vera’s Sanctuary receive 30 hours of weekly therapeutic services, food, clothing, medical care, psychiatric services, prenatal support and transportation. The women “benefit from educational instruction, vocational training, automobile gift programs, internships and job placement,” according to the Allied Universal announcement. There is no maximum length of stay at Vera’s Sanctuary.

Since opening its doors in 2018, Vera’s Sanctuary has provided rehabilitation to more than 600 women.

The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims.

Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
