“We are thrilled Boyd stepped up to the plate and made a substantial contribution towards our protection,” said Paula Millott, President of Montalvo Little League. She added, “This will further our League’s mission of offering safe, fun recreation for our community.”

Boyd & Associates’ mission is to help support communities and law enforcement by providing effective security solutions with rapid communication to authorities in case of intrusion, fire or medical emergency.
