Regulated Security Solutions Will Continue With Its Quality-Oriented Approach

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- In the wake of Exelon's recent decision to implement an in-house security program across its nuclear fleet, The Wackenhut Corporation acknowledges their strategic management decision and today announced that it remains firm in its commitment to be the premier provider of quality security solutions. "While we never welcome the loss of valued customers, we had forecasted that some existing business may be lost as we transitioned from the traditional labor-augmentation model to a solutions-focused platform working in partnership with our clients. This is where we want to be in the marketplace and positioning the new Regulated Security Solutions (RSS) division for future growth within the nuclear sector and other regulated industries both domestically and globally has the backing of our entire team," said Wackenhut RSS President, Eric Wilson.

"Additionally, we view this as an opportunity to expedite the implementation of the RSS Strategic Alliance model at our other domestic nuclear facilities," said Wilson. The primary initiatives and focus areas of this new model include the following key components:

    -- An emphasis on maintaining a "continuous quality improvement culture"
       through professional training and leadership development.
    -- Clear accountability for results and the maintenance of outcome-based
       performance measures.
    -- An enhanced focus on maintaining a Safety Conscious Work Environment
       that encourages employees to voice their concerns.
    -- An uncompromised commitment to providing professional leaders that
       inspire optimum performance from their teams.
    -- The integration of new technology that supports an optimal security
       program.
    -- The maintenance of a web-based "corrective actions" portal to automate
       the management of "operating experience."
    -- The modeling of established and proven "Strategic Alliances."
    -- Shift from a service based provider to a turn key solutions based
       business.

Wackenhut is proud of the hard-working men and women who have and continue to represent the best in nuclear security protection since we entered the industry in 1984. During this period, there have been no security breaches or infiltrations by any terrorist faction at any of the Wackenhut-protected facilities. "Our historical performance speaks for itself. We have always been a quality provider of security solutions, and we will continue to meet the challenges of the nuclear industry head-on," said Wilson.
