-It's just a job kid deal with it
-The industry needs to do one of two things; stop fiddling with the thin line and go forward or go back to that way it was. A flashlight in one hand and your set of keys in the other

I've expected this for quite awhile, I also expect Securitas (the other Group4 division) to lose accounts shortly after, too. It was my understanding that Pinkerton, upon being bought by Securitas, lost a few accounts on the GSA Schedule, but retained their GSA Schedule. This was due to Securitas being a foreign-owned company.Some Kind of Commando Leader

When Wackenhut was bought out by Group4, they had to undergo a lot of review by the feds. Basically the way I understand it is although we are owned by a foreign based company it is completly run here in the states (with our Corporate offices in West Palm). The way I understood it was what we pass onto G4S is very limited in operational since. I dunno I remember hearing it someone but don't have all the details sorry

I am not too concerned with a British-owned company providing sensitive services, such as security, to the U.S. Government. After all, the U.S. and the United Kingdom have had strategic alliances and relationships going all the way back to the Napoleonic Wars. Now, if a mainland Chinese outfit owned the security company.....?
I find the other accusations, the ones about poor performance on drills and sleeping on duty, far more troublesome. I am willing to bet that the new contractor will simply keep on the majority of the Wackenhut guards and the problems will continue. Security guards are security guards, and human nature is human nature, wherever you go.
