Johnson Security Bureau was founded by Dorothy and Wilbert Johnson in the basement of their Bronx home in 1962. A former educator, Ms. Johnson earned a BA from Fayetteville State Teacher’s College and an MA in Education and Guidance from Columbia University. Johnson Security Bureau, the only security agency in New York with an African-American Woman CEO, is a family owned and operated corporation, employing 150 full time workers. The firm, in conjunction with the Business and Professional Development Center of Bronx Community College, offers a guard and supervisory training program to men and women referred by TAP centers and other agencies. To counter gaps in educational opportunities based on location and funding, Johnson Security Bureau is a mentoring incubator for business providing paid internships to local high school students. Ms. Johnson created the Wilbert Johnson Scholarship Program for students interested in careers in business. She is a member of the Coalition of 100 Black Women, the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women and the NAACP and has served as Chairman of the Hostos Community College Board. Ms. Johnson was Fayetteville State Teacher’s College Alumnus of the Year in 1991. The firm received the first “Family-Owned Business Enterprise of the Year Award” for its contribution to the lives of New York City residents in 1993.ax
