Homeland Security Technology, Inc. Enters Security Teaming Agreement with Leading Security Firm -- Professional Protection Incorporated (PPI(TM)); HST, Inc. and PPI(TM) to Offer Security Services to Louisiana and Gulf Coast Region
DEL MAR, Calif., Sep 26, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Homeland Security Technology, Inc., (a Division of Amnis, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AMNI)), announced today that it has entered into a Security Services Teaming Agreement with Professional Protection, Incorporated (PPI(TM)) of North Carolina to provide security and logistical support for operations in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. HST signed the teaming agreement with PPI(TM) on Friday.
Under the terms of the agreement, PPI(TM) will act as the prime contractor and will utilize HST as its sub-contractor on contracts signed in relation to security support for personnel affected by the two devastating hurricanes that have ravaged the region.
PPI(TM) is currently working contracts in the region and has established a command and control center in Metairie, Louisiana to provide security and material support for Allstate Insurance National Catastrophic Team/South East Team dispatched to the region. HST will provide personnel and logistical support for PPI's continued security operations in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region.
"HST entered discussions with PPI(TM) immediately after Hurricane Katrina had passed through the New Orleans area and dispatched our Director of Security, Mark Wilson to make liaison with PPI(TM) in Metairie, Louisiana," said Colonel Jeffrey Powers, CEO of Homeland Security Technology, Inc.
"I observed a well coordinated, professionally run central command operation at the PPI(TM) command center," said Wilson. "After discussions with PPI(TM), it was only logical that our two companies should team together to place a powerhouse security organization at the disposal of the local authorities and show FEMA that the team is capable of supporting their personnel with like logistical and security assets."
"Teaming with HST, we are able to put up to 150 professionally trained experienced law enforcement and security professionals on the ground in any area affected by these storms on a moment's notice. We are capable of self-supporting the deployments and can operate from command posts set up in any area of operation," commented Carlton E. Miles, Jr., CEO of Professional Protection Incorporated.
The PPI/HST team has already begun to function with HST providing logistical support in the way of handheld Garmin RINO 120 radios for PPI(TM) security personnel. PPI(TM) has established liaison with the Louisiana State Police, The Louisiana State Board of Private Security and Examiners, Jefferson Parish President, and the New Orleans Police Department; and HST will be assisting PPI(TM) in negotiations for future FEMA security contracts in the Louisiana and Gulf Coast region.
