The City of Indianapolis has suspended a security company from doing work for the city for six months, according to a letter obtained by WRTV Investigates.

The city found Protection Plus, an Indianapolis-based security firm, failed to disclose to the city that a 2022 federal investigation found Protection Plus violated the Fair Labor Standards Act.

For the first time, Protection Plus’ leadership, Operations Director Billy Ingles and President Marie Stanley, sat down with WRTV Investigates to explain what happened and what the company is doing to make sure workers are accurately paid. WRTV Investigates found Protection Plus also faced scrutiny from the federal government back in 2018.

"Bad business catches up to you eventually,” said the worker. “It was great to get that money back that I know I was legally owed." “Since late 2022, Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County has been in the process of bringing all security services in-house,” said Curt Brantingham, spokesperson for the health department. “We do not currently have any Protection Plus personnel providing security services.”
