NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - July 23, 2007) - BOMA's Office Building Show, BOOTH 316 -- AlliedBarton Security Services, www.AlliedBarton.com, the industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, celebrates its 50th anniversary in concert with BOMA's centennial observation at the Office Building Show at New York's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

"We are proud to be the security services company of choice for hundreds of diverse companies across multiple industries for the past fifty years," said Bill Whitmore, CEO, AlliedBarton Security Services. "As we recognize the company's anniversary, we also honor the men and women who work in the challenging and rewarding physical security services sector. Our fifty year milestone shines a spotlight on the professionalism, respect and expertise of today's security officers."

AlliedBarton Security Services commitment to its employees reaps dividends with outstanding veteran security talent who have been at the company for decades. A shining security star who has provided inspiration and support to AlliedBarton colleagues for over three decades is Mr. Trinidad Medina, age 79, who has been an active employee for 36 years and is a commissioned officer representing Frost Bank in Texas. "When people ask why I've been at one company for so many years, I tell them that variety is the spice of life and that AlliedBarton provides that spice in the form of cutting-edge training. Training is available to all officers in a variety of formats as well as specialized training that addresses emergency situations."

The Freedonia Group, a leading business research company, reports the number of security guards is at historically high levels. In fact, the number of guards employed by private security firms is expected to increase 3.6 percent per year to 780,000 in 2010 from 537,000 in 2000. "Our industry is attracting accomplished men and women who find a rewarding career in the physical security sector," adds Whitmore. "Today's security professional is technologically savvy and is ready, willing and able to provide a primary line of defense at thousands of important sites around the country."

As the first security services company selected as one of Training magazine's Top 125 training companies for two consecutive years, AlliedBarton offers on-the-job, web-based, and ongoing training programs for all personnel, from security officers through executive level management. The company's commitment to training includes industry-specific programs customized for the security challenges in the markets they serve.

"Our focus on Human Capital Management moves employee growth and satisfaction to the forefront of all company initiatives," adds Whitmore. "By utilizing employee retention programs and promotions from within, we foster a culture of quality security officers and continuous customer satisfaction."

Allied Security was founded in Pittsburgh, PA, in 1957 and has grown to become a strong national security provider. In 2000, Allied Security and SpectaGuard, a regional security leader based in King of Prussia, PA, joined forces to form what was then the fifth largest contract security company in the country. The company has pursued organic growth and strategic acquisitions of several other industry leaders, including Barton Protective Services and Initial Security, which share the company's customer-centric practices and values. AlliedBarton was acquired by MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc. in 2003. Today, AlliedBarton is the largest American owned and managed contract security company.
