Homeland Security Group International's Security Division Enters Florida Market in Response to Hurricane Wilma; HMSG Has Generated over 1500 Billable Hours of Uniformed Security Guard Services in the First 30 Days of Operation
DEL MAR, Calif., Nov 01, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Homeland Security Group International (Pink Sheets:HMSG) announced today that its security division has received security contracts from five major Floridian retail chains. Hurricane Wilma's path of destruction has created the need for increased premises security throughout the south Florida region. HMSG is currently supplying uniformed security guards in California, Texas, Louisiana and Florida for big box retailers T.J. Maxx, AJ Wright, Nordstrom, Forever 21, Guess Inc., Comp USA and Good Guys stores.
"In our first full month of operation we have supplied over fifteen hundred billable hours of uniformed security to four different states," commented HMSG's Director of Security, Mark Wilson. "Presently we have guards on duty in Northern, Central and Southern California, and three different cities in Southern Florida."
"We have placed 'Security Hotline' next to HMSG's phone number because we know that any time we call on them, 24 hours a day, we will get competent, professional, immediate attention," commented Al Brooks, Operations Officer of HMSG's alliance partner NESCTC Security.
The company has also recently opened a branch office in San Francisco, California to service annual accounts in that area. HMSG has entered the National Security Cooperative managed by NESCTC Security of Rhode Island. As part of the agreement, HMSG has agreed to provide uniformed security personnel for such national stores as T.J. Maxx, Good Guys, Comp USA, AJ Wright, and Guess stores in the Northern and Southern California area.
"The security guard business provides a recurring revenue model that is beginning to show positive results," commented Mr. Wilson. "As more and more national businesses come to know the quality of service provided by HMSG we anticipate substantial growth in this sector," concluded Mr. Wison.
Business Management needing Security Services and Personnel seeking employment as uniformed security guards should contact HMSG for more information.
