Press Release Body = KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., March 6, 2006 – When it comes to
protecting people where they live, work and visit, security officer training had
better be done right. According to Training magazine, AlliedBarton Security Services
is one of the best in the business – any business – at training its
employees. This is AlliedBarton’s first entry in Training magazine’s
prestigious Top 100 list, and they were the only contract security services firm
named to the list. The honor was announced last night at Training magazine’s
annual awards dinner.

AlliedBarton’s corporate philosophy is “Quality People, Quality
Training, Quality Security.” With a substantial investment in and 70 full-time
employees dedicated to the training program, the company clearly stands behind its
vision. AlliedBarton’s more than 38,000 employees serve over 100 of the
Fortune 500 companies and in a wide variety of business sectors.

“We are very proud of our training program, its track record and of our
employees who are committed to excellence every day,” said CEO Bill Whitmore.
“We strive for ongoing improvement in the training arena, and we are honored
to receive this recognition.”

When protecting a client’s employees, residents, or visitors, a security
officer must be well-trained and ready for any scenario. Yet, because each of
AlliedBarton’s customers has different security needs, the company’s
training program must also be flexible. Officers must be skilled in the core
fundamentals of security and then be taught the nuances of a particular
client’s requirements.

While training to become an officer, AlliedBarton employees are also learning the
skills they need to move up the company’s ladder into management. The company
hopes this focus on the employee will keep officers around because sometimes an
experienced officer can make all the difference in a crisis and in the training of a
new employee.

“Our annual customer retention rate is approximately 90 percent, and we
believe our training program has a lot to do with such a high percentage,”
said Mike Phelan, vice president of training for AlliedBarton. “In our field,
your performance is the only thing that matters to your client. Our program focuses
on training our employees to become top-notch security officers while also preparing
them for roles in management. In the long term, we train our officers because it is
essential to servicing our clients, to retaining the best employees and to building
a culture of excellence.”
