KING OF PRUSSIA, PA--(Marketwire - March 3, 2008) - AlliedBarton Security Services, the
industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, announces
the appointment of Richard A. Michau, CPP, as Vice President of the
Chemical/Petrochemical market segment. Michau joins AlliedBarton with
more than 25 years of experience in the security services industry. Since
the end of 2006, Michau was the owner and a critical infrastructure
consultant with D&R Consultants, LLC, and prior to that he was with a
national service provider for 10 years, and served as that company's
President of the Nuclear Services Division from 2000 through 2006.
"As Federal regulations require that chemical and petrochemical industries
take a critical look at the methodology in place to secure their
facilities, it is crucial to have a leader with the experience and judgment
that Richard Michau possesses," said Bill Whitmore, President and CEO,
AlliedBarton Security Services.
"I am proud to be a member of the AlliedBarton team, and to work with our
clients to assist them in recognizing, understanding and addressing the
rigorous and evolving security requirements in the chemical and
petrochemical industry," said Michau. "Along with the members of our Chemical
Petrochemical Security Alliance (CPSA), AlliedBarton will continue to
provide for the needs of our industry clients with high quality services
and resources."
"AlliedBarton has a distinguished history of serving companies in the
petrochemical and chemical sector with well-trained security officers and
supervisory personnel that help ensure our client facilities are safer and
more secure," adds Michau. "Federal regulations including the Chemical
Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS), Maritime Transportation Security
Act (MTSA) and Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)
demand comprehensive security programs which ensure the overall
effectiveness of physical security measures including perimeter protection,
access control, effective procedures and a well-prepared security force."
AlliedBarton is working to ensure highly sensitive sites are in compliance
with CFATS and MTSA, which require the implementation of risk-based
performance standards for the nation's high-risk chemical and petrochemical
facilities.
Michau is a member of ASIS International and has served as Chair on the
ASIS Utilities Security Council and as President of the Professional
Certification Board. Michau received his BA degree from National-Louis
University and is a graduate of the Chicago Police Academy and the National
Crime Prevention Institute at the University of Louisville. He is also a
licensed private investigator. Prior to entering the private sector,
Michau served as a police officer in the Chicago metropolitan area.
