SPRINGFIELD, Va., March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Pinkerton Government Services
("PGS") and Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC") announced
today, that they are combining resources in a strategic relationship to
provide innovative, comprehensive, high technology, security solutions to
federal government clients. PGS and SAIC possess unique and complementary
skill sets for performing the work required to assist in enhancing our
nation's security and providing for the physical protection of federal
government installations and infrastructure. Ron Harper, Chief Executive
Officer for Pinkerton Government Services, Inc. said that, "We are excited
about our new relationship with SAIC and look forward to working together to
offer our customers the strongest security solutions team in the business."
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 heightened awareness of the
need for increased investment in U.S. national security. Enhancement of the
level of preparedness for major U.S. government installations and critical
infrastructure such as nuclear utilities, nuclear fuel cycle and weapons
facilities, research and development facilities, and military installations is
a costly and complicated undertaking. PGS and SAIC feel that this
relationship positions them to provide the integrated, cost effective, and
comprehensive solutions that are so essential to success in this critical
area.
"SAIC is pleased to have this new relationship with PGS. We are confident
that the SAIC/PGS team offers our clients the best and most comprehensive
integrated security solutions available," said Steve Selecman, SAIC Vice
President for Operations.
