A. Executive Summary
The Executive Summary should highlight the content of the proposal and features of the
program offered, including a general description of the program and any unique aspects or
benefits provided by your firm.
With a storied history dating back to 1901 in Denmark, G4S has grown to
become the largest security solutions provider in the world with
operations in more than 100 countries and more than 610,000 employees
across a diverse range of sectors including: government, utilities,
financial institutions, retail, leisure and tourism, and transport.
G4S traces its beginnings in the U.S .back to 1954 when George
Wackenhut founded The Wackenhut Corporation in Miami, Florida. After
48 years of unprecedented growth and becoming one of the largest security companies in America,
The Wackenhut Corporation merged with Group 4 Falck A/S based in Denmark in 2002, beginning a
transformation to becoming the global security leader.
In 2004, Group 4 Securicor was formed from the merger between Securicor plc and Group 4 Falck
A/S’s security business. G4S plc is now the world’s leading international security solutions group
which specializes in outsourcing of business processes and facilities in sectors where security and
safety risks are considered a strategic threat.
Based on the needs outlined in the request for proposal, we are confident that our solution will
exceed the needs of the City of Fort Collins. The G4S Custom Protection Officer® (CPO) program
has been the benchmark of excellence in the security industry for more than a quarter century, with
our CPOs representing the highest qualified level of security officer available. CPOs possess
valuable life experience and provide an effective alternative to contract law enforcement.
We recruit individuals for the CPO program who will:
Represent your commitment to security with the highest public profile presence
Possess a strong work ethic and take pride in their performance
React well under pressure and adapt quickly to changing situations
Work effectively on a team as well as independently when required
Be effective leaders and problem-solvers
Exhibit strong interpersonal skills
To deliver the desired attributes, we established the industry’s most stringent experience
requirements, which cannot be fabricated or duplicated in a classroom. Each CPO must possess at
least one of the following attributes to qualify for this premier corps of security professionals:
Service in the military related to law enforcement or security (such as Military
Police, Elite Military Forces, combat arms) or a support role in a combat zone
A minimum of eight years of active service in any military branch
Graduate of a Certified Public Safety Academy (military or civilian) in the law
enforcement, adult corrections or firefighter field
Bachelor’s degree in law enforcement or criminal justice-related studies
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432
5
A combination of an Associate’s degree in law enforcement or criminal
justice with current or prior active military service
The CPO program redefines the role of security at sites with complex requirements, and CPOs set
the standard for performance and professionalism to which all others are measured. The
combination of experience, training and customer service means a CPO starts off at a level to which
most security personnel aspire. If the needs are demanding, the expectations high, and the situation
challenging, G4S’ Custom Protection Officers provide clients with proven performance and peace of
mind.

Provide a detailed narrative of the services proposed if awarded the contract per the scope
above.
G4S will provide you our highest level of security officer, our Custom Protection Officer® (CPO)

2. Project Management
Describe how the project would be managed and who would have primary responsibility for it.
The City of Fort Collins contract would be serviced by our Northern Colorado (DEN) office, located in
Denver, CO. Colorado Area Offices were established in 1962 at the request of the US Department of
Defense in support of Armed Security Services provided to Buckley Air National Guard Base in
Aurora Colorado. Today, G4S operates two full service Colorado Area Offices (Southern Colorado &
Northern Colorado) providing security solutions to business, industry and government throughout the
Front Range (Fort Collins/Greeley North to Pueblo South) and the western slope. G4S currently
employs approximately 800 Uniformed Armed/Unarmed Security Professionals state-wide. Both
offices operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with Supervisors on the road 24 hours a day
conducting unannounced inspections, responding to issues, and assuring a consistent delivery of
service.
Our Denver office staff will also provide supplemental supervision and management during off hours,
weekend and holiday periods. Area Supervisors operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and are
available to provide management supplementation. Area Supervisors will monitor, evaluate and
support Security Officers serving your location so that each may provide what it takes to deliver
complete customer satisfaction. Their responsibilities include:
Conducting announced and unannounced post inspections
Implementing corrective action plans
Assisting with selecting, training, and evaluating officers
Reviewing the security program on a continual basis
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432
17
Assisting with special requests, problems, emergencies & extra staffing requirements
Maintaining schedules and 24-hour efficiency
Encouraging and mentoring security personnel on how to increase their productivity and
service to the your location during their post hours
Cover posts for short-term needs as needed
Serve as the locations point of contact as needed
As a global organization with decades of experience, G4S has the expertise, resources and
programs in place to assist our clients in the prevention, deterrence and detection of security threats
at their locations. We find the right combination of people, protection, customer service and
technology to mitigate risk and provide a safe and secure environment.
Area Operations
All G4S area offices are vigilant in their ability to respond to customers’ needs and are therefore
equipped to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The G4S local offices will provide the
resources and guidance necessary to ensure that our contractual obligations are met, your locations
expectations are exceeded and our personnel are able to perform at their peak.
At the local level, the General Manager has been authorized to commit the security force resources
necessary to satisfy contract requirements, conduct all required customer interface/inspections, and
is expected to maintain the highest standards of quality. Corporate policy dictates that each area
office follow standardized procedures in regard to recruitment, screening, hiring, uniforming, quality,
payroll, training, and administrative functions.
We have found that this standardization provides a common focus, strengthens communication,
enhances supervision, reduces costs, and fosters interactive relationships by and between the
corporate and regional management teams and the area office. Further, each area office is its own
profit and loss center, with each area manager making his own operational and financial decisions.
This means that key decisions pertaining to the day-to-day operation of the account (except as they
relate to waiver of specific corporate policy) may be made immediately, at the local level. It is
incumbent upon each office to maintain appropriate staffing levels that will enable us to provide the
highest degree of professional service in the most cost-effective manner.
The organization of the local area office provides experienced supervisory and administrative
personnel support the area manager in the day-to-day operations of each account. This support
includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Client Relations
Recruitment
Background Screening
Classroom Training
Supervision
On-the-Job Training
Continuing Education
Supervision
Inspections
Site Assessments
Post Orders
Uniforming
Equipment Procurement
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432
18
We rely on our experienced local and regional management teams to effectively lead and manage
our Officers. These management groups combine a foundation of law enforcement expertise with
demonstrated experience servicing locations similar to the locations environment.
Under the direction of the General Manager, G4S’ local area supervisors set the standard for
customer support as thoroughly trained and experienced security leaders. They regularly monitor,
evaluate and support our security officers to ensure that our contractual obligations are met, our
customers’ expectations are exceeded and our personnel are able to perform at their peak.
Supervisors will regularly encourage and mentor assigned personnel on how to increase their
productivity and service to your account during their post hours. G4S will maintain a strict standard
of employee conduct and competency and will initiate and administer appropriate disciplinary action
when appropriate. G4S insists that the behavior of its personnel, both on and off duty, reflect
favorably on both G4S and its customers. Area supervisors are responsible for:
Conducting announced and unannounced post inspections
Corrective action plans
Assisting with selecting, training, and evaluating officers
Reviewing the security program on a continual basis
Assisting with special requests, problems, emergencies, and extra staffing requirements
Maintaining schedules and 24-hour efficiency
WEEKLY COMPARABLE STATISTICS (COMPSTAT)
The CompStat model is a management tool within a performance management framework that
incorporates analysis of key performance business data, strategic problem solving, and a clear
accountability structure. Ideally, CompStat facilitates accurate and timely analysis of needs
impacting both internal and external customers, which is used to identify business patterns and
potential problems. Based on this analysis, tailored responses are implemented through operational
functions involving personnel, managers, account managers, supervisors, and branch and area
resources. An accountability structure is critical to ensuring the analysis is acted upon and the
responses are implemented correctly as well as assessing whether responses are effective in
reducing turnover, overtime, non-billed revenue, payroll/billing accuracy. The net result is a
collaborative effort for improving customer satisfaction, achieving operational excellence, and
improving the profitability of the business unit.
Corporate Support
In addition to our local and regional support, your location will also receive the support of our
dedicated corporate headquarters team. Corporate resources include:
G4S North America Training Institute
Strategic Accounts Group
Experienced Transition Teams
Systems Integration
Safety & Risk Management
Compliance & Investigations Services
Security Best Practices
Short-term & Emergency Services
Business Processes
Local Presence
Our corporate office also is home to the G4S 24/7 Communications Center – our in-house call
center. It is set-up to allow customers to make a single call to the local office for any issues that may
arise after hours. This eliminates the need to make numerous calls when a problem or emergency
arises after normal business hours. After normal business hours, our 24/7 Communications Center
Representatives will have access to your after-hours contact information and response protocols and
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432
19
we can customize procedures at the request of your location Representatives will immediately
dispatch the appropriate G4S personnel to respond to the emergency or issue. The G4S
representative will follow up with the responders to confirm resolution of your call. A log is created for
each call including the notifications sent and the final resolution reached.
3. Methods and Timeline of Communication
Describe the methods and timeline of communication your firm will use with the City’s Project
Manager and other parties.
Transition Plan

The following is a description of our transition plan that identifies key activities and when and how
they occur:
Four Weeks Prior to Start
1) Contract is finalized & G4S Transition Team forms
2) Our transition team meets your representatives several times before service starts
3) Recruit Personnel (Incumbent & New Officers)
G4S will offer 100% of the officers you wish to retain the opportunity to complete our hiring process.

and screenings will receive G4S employment at your locations.
To fill remaining positions at your locations, G4S will draw upon our local
employment pool of over 1000 officers filtering for the correct fit at these
facilities and we will recruit new officers using our award winning, G4S
Career Center, an online community and resource for job seekers. Its high
online visibility draws a tremendous pool of applicants as seen in the more
than 1,500,000 Page Views per month.
In addition to G4S Career Center, we will recruit using traditional methods,
such as our Military Recruitment Program, newspaper ads, state
employment services, employee referrals, local police and sheriff’s
departments, and federal law enforcement organizations.
Three Weeks Prior to Start
1) Interview Candidates
Our transition team will interview all officer candidates to clarify their application information,
elaborate where needed, and ensure all forms are completed and signed. G4S is an Equal
Opportunity Employer pledged not to discriminate in employment on the basis of race, religion, color,
sex, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, ancestry, medical condition, marital status or
other factors protected by applicable law.
2) Conduct Background Investigations
Our HR team member will ensure we have signed and witnessed releases before beginning
background investigations. G4S conducts comprehensive pre-employment screening on all

One Week Prior to Start
1) Create Master Schedules
We will create an Installation Schedule for staffing at your locations to cover post hours, number of
officers at each post, and skills needed. The schedule is entered into the G4S Labor Scheduling
System and includes pay and billing information. We prepare the schedule as far in advance as
practical to give officers early notice of their work schedule and days off.
2) Issue Uniforms/Equipment
We will issue uniforms and equipment, documenting the number of issue, item, date of issue,
employee's signature and initials, and witness signatures in the G4S Uniform and Accessories
Record. Officers will receive training in proper uniform wear and care during their initial orientation.
3) Classroom Training
Our training team member will implement the training program and plan as designed
by the G4S North America Training Institute (NATI). Training material will be
consistent with the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to perform their general
responsibilities, and are presented in a variety of languages as well as self-study
student workbooks.
4) Assign Personnel to Schedules
In every case possible, officers will be assigned to schedules that are suited to their personal
background, personality, appearance, and desires, thereby contributing to a higher level of personal
performance. Officers will not exchange scheduled shifts or days off without first obtaining approval
from their G4S supervisor.
5) Place Equipment/Forms on Post
The first officer assigned to the post will deliver, tag, and sort equipment, forms and supplies on the
day service starts. The officer will use them as Post Orders dictate, and pass them on to the
relieving officer.
The Week Service Starts
1) On-The-Job Training
We will conduct on-the-job training with officers new to your location and for any incumbent officers
changing positions. Our training team member, G4S supervisor or incumbent officer familiar with the
post and its responsibilities will perform training.
2) Contract Commences
G4S management will be present during the first week of service to facilitate any questions your
representatives may have, as well as to handle any contingencies that may arise.
Going forward, G4S management will continue to make regular site visitations to observe our
operations, follow up with any request or issues, and communicate status to your representatives.
They are available by cell and email in addition to these scheduled site visits.

Constant & Proactive Communications — Transition Reporting
G4S will keep you informed regarding the status of pre-start-up activities, as well as up-to-date
activities throughout the transition process. We will do this through several communications
channels, including:
Weekly (or more) in-person meetings prior to, and during the first month of service
Phone, email & text messages for communications requiring more immediate response
Online transition schedule available via the secure G4S web portal
After-hours phone messages handled by live customer service representatives at the G4S

Retaining the Best — Hiring Incumbent Officers
Grandfathering Benefits & Compensation
G4S is very interested in capturing the expertise and knowledge of the incumbent officers assigned
to your locations today. For those officers you would like us to retain, G4S will offer them the
opportunity to complete our hiring process.
Upon successful completion of our background investigations and screening process, incumbent
officers will be offered employment at your locations and be grandfathered for group insurance
purposes. This means we will count prior service toward the standard 90-day waiting period for their
participation in our group insurance.
Allaying Incumbent Officers’ Concerns
To minimize your incumbent officers’ concerns, we request you announce that our representatives
would like to meet with the current staff, either before or after their shift. During these informal
meetings, we will answer their questions, introduce them to G4S, and provide employment
application packages for them to complete.
These meetings allow incumbents to familiarize themselves with G4S and we get to know them as
individuals.
Continuous Improvement — Post-Transition Satisfaction
90-day Control Plan
In line with principles of ISO and G4S’s ongoing efforts to continuously improve, the Strategic
Accounts Group has implemented a 90-day Control Plan. This plan involves the ongoing monitoring
of newly transitioned sites through follow-up activities to ensure the resolution of any issues that
arise during the initial 90 days following the transition.
4. Proprietary Technology Enhancements
Include a description of software and other analysis tools to be used.
Our award-winning technology provides transparency, allowing you to see security in action with
ongoing access to real-time data, and supplies you with the knowledge to make smarter decisions.
By integrating G4S’ manned guarding with our technology solutions, we can also offer
recommendations that focus on continuous improvement of your overall security program, allowing
us to deliver greater peace of mind and allowing you to focus on high-level strategic planning.

ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS
The systems included in Administrative Functions integrate with one another, ensuring compliance
and offering you the following benefits:
HR System manages employee data, including background investigations, new hire screening
and training, which incorporates into the Labor Scheduling system to prevent unqualified or
unscreened personnel from being assigned to you.
The Labor Scheduling system ensures a fully qualified and trained Officer is on post 100% of the
time and, because Time and Attendance data feeds directly into Labor Scheduling, our client is
provided with accurate and timely invoices and Security Officers are paid correctly.
‘Secure-Start’ Check-In System
The company has implemented a computer based telephone check-in system using a state-of-the-
art Interactive Voice Response System (IVR). This system provides real-time monitoring of arrival
and departure times at security posts. The primary function of the system is to verify officer presence
at “cold-starts.” “Cold starts” are sites or posts that are not staffed at all times. All call information is
stored in a secure database at G4S Secure Solutions corporate headquarters, in conjunction with
the reporting system used at our G4S 24/7 Communications Center. Caller ID is used to notify the
system when an officer attempts to call in from a number not listed for a given post.
The process requires officers to call in from the post to an 800 number to check in and out. If a
check-in is missed, the IVR system can call the post and allow the officer to check in if they are
present. If an officer is not present or is unable to check in, the system will notify the appropriate
supervisor and the 24/7 Communications Center (NCC) of the missed check-in. If an officer needs
assistance with a call to the Secure-Start System, they can be prompted to transfer directly to the
24/7 Communications Center to speak to a Customer Service Agent.
Secure-Start provides customers with detailed reports showing any open posts, minutes open,
compliance percentage as well as a detailed incident/case log report with resolution and notification
record for any open or delayed posts.
Secure Trax®
Secure Trax®, our mobile-based software platform, will be deployed to your account to provide
operational efficiencies and increase the effectiveness of the security program. As proven at
customer accounts similar to your location, Secure Trax® allows our officers to communicate directly
with your designated representatives, perform specialized duties customized to the property, log
incidents, report observations, perform inspections and provide concrete data for analysis and
decision-making. Deployed on a smartphone, Officers assigned to specific posts across your
account will be equipped with Secure Trax® to:
Deliver increased operational efficiencies
Real-time collection of actionable security data for improved decision-making
Eliminate delays for receiving vital information when it is needed most
Transparency of G4S’ compliance with contractual requirements
Increased reliability of data vs. manual reporting
Elimination of paper supports green initiatives

PROOF OF PRESENCE
To support our commitment of consistently meeting operational compliance objectives, this module
uses several tracking mechanisms to ensure Security Officer proof of presence throughout the entire
shift:
Check-In / Check-Out: The Security Officer uses the check-in / check-out application at the
beginning and ending of each shift. Particularly important at posts without 24-hour coverage, an
operational alert is issued if there is a late check-in or an early checkout, so staffing gaps can be
mitigated swiftly.
Break Management: All authorized breaks can be systematically managed through Secure
Trax®. Any non-authorized or extended break results in an operational alert to a Supervisor.
Guard Tour: Secure Trax® has an advanced guard tour module where a patrol officer is
required to perform "checks" within a facility(s) during a shift. Scheduled in advance, any
variance to a guard tour results in an alert
GPS Tracking: To support outdoor mobile patrol personnel, Secure Trax® uses GPS
technology to track movement throughout a shift. Using a geo-fence
capability, a near time operational alert is issued if an officer moves beyond
the boundary of the geo-fence.
Random Verification: An alert feature designed to ensure Security
Officers have the device in their possession at all times. A random number
is displayed on the screen and the device is audibly alerted. The officer
must re-enter the number into the device within a specific time period
CUSTOMIZED SECURITY AND SAFETY
INSPECTIONS
Based on customer specific requirements, Secure Trax® provides the ability
to create an electronic template to support security, safety, or facility-based
inspections. Once created, Secure Trax® prompts the Security Officer to
execute the inspection consistent with customer-defined requirements.
Examples of inspections include AED equipment, secure site, lighting, and
behavior safety checks. The officer scans each location as directed using Near Field
Communication (NFC) or bar code technology. Based on the type of inspection, the system
automatically prompts the officer to record required information (e.g., record readings on equipment
with automatic alerts issued if readings are outside predetermined thresholds).
DAILY ACTIVITY REPORTING (DAR) SYSTEM
Through Secure Trax®, all activities performed by Security Officers are captured by a DAR
application. Configurable to meet the specific needs of our customer, the DAR application
streamlines the process to collect shift-level activities and provides rich reporting capabilities via
Insight.
INTEGRATION WITH CUSTOMER SYSTEMS
Information captured using Secure Trax® can also be integrated with a customer’s existing incident
management system, reporting systems or command centers.
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432
26
INCIDENT DOCUMENTATION & REPORTING
Using Secure Trax®, Officers will capture accidents, incidents, near misses and injuries instantly and
provide real-time reporting, facilitating in the swift implementation of corrective action and
notification. Once an incident is entered in Secure Trax®, it is instantly transmitted to pre-defined
account recipients, thereby replacing the need for
paper incident reports. Prior to deployment, we will
work with your location to create user defined
categories specific to your operations such as
lighting defects, physical plant issues, accidents,
criminal activity, slip and falls, etc. When an incident
occurs, officers will record an incident report
synopsis in Secure Trax® including:
Categories
Persons involved
Police reports
Digital photos
Once recorded, officers have the option to notify your designated
representatives based on category or severity of incident, enabling specific report distribution by you.
For example, senior security management would be notified instantly of any critical incidents,
and your building maintenance department would be notified of any simple property issues.
G4S Will Provide City of Fort Collins with Site Specific Web Based Portal to Measure Performance
Accountability via KPIs
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are provided automatically via the G4S web portal as part of our
security solution. Account-specific performance metrics are available in real-time from web reports that

G4S will survey customer satisfaction at the City of Fort Collin’s location annually using our web-
based Customer Satisfaction Survey tool. The survey consists of five (5) questions utilizing a one-to-
five scale. Any results under a three (3) are flagged as unsatisfactory. G4S has a documented
process when we receive an unsatisfactory rating based on the principles established by ISO and
our ongoing efforts to continuously improve. The Denver office manager who receives the
unsatisfactory rating is required to make face-to-face contact upon knowledge of the review. At that
time, they are required to create an action plan utilizing our established Corrective Action Report
(CAR) which documents adjustments that need to be made to the overall policies and procedures as
they relate to the account. Once the action plan has been established and implemented a follow-up
meeting with the client is required within 30 days of initial knowledge of the issue. Another meeting
will occur within 30 days after that to ensure the issue has been resolved and a Preventative Action
Report (PAR) has been completed which identifies potential enhancements in order to avoid future
CARs. A sample screen shot for this system is provided below:

duty and desire to ensure the influence we have makes a positive impact on the people and
communities in which we work.
As one of the world's largest global employers, we work to ensure our employees are cared for and

The Benefits of G4S’ Social & Environmental Commitment
Your company’s reputation and public image will benefit from G4S’ commitment to its social and
environmental responsibilities. Our transparency and full compliance means your security partner
will not let your brand down.
Proof of G4S’ Environmental Commitment
We measure, report and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions as seen in our 2013 program
accomplishments.
Measured the carbon emissions of businesses representing 94.5% of the Group
Achieved overall reduction in carbon intensity of 4.9%
Developed & expanded a global network of environmental coordinators
Implemented Greenstone Carbon Management System across the Group to track &
analyze carbon emissions
Introduced multiple programs to reduce carbon intensity across the Group
The focus of G4S going forward is to:
Continue to implement carbon reduction strategies
Systematically measure the carbon emissions of at least 94% of the Group

G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432

Introduce measurement of waste and water consumption to our Climate Action Program
Shredded paper diverted from landfill to farming mulch
G4S Environmental Responsibility in Action
Carbon Reduction through Digital Paychecks
In the U.S., G4S achieved a massive reduction of 20% in carbon intensity in 2011 by
converting employee paychecks from paper to the web. This reduced the number of sheets of paper
being produced from over 1 million sheets per year to less than 10,000. Additionally a further
339,000 sheets of paper were saved by external vendors.
Lower Fuel Consumption & CO2 emissions
G4S reduced its fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by changing vehicles from six- to four-
cylinder engines; implementing a telematics monitoring/management system for our fleet,
implementing T3 Motion, zero emission electronic vehicles for outdoor patrol areas and including
electric or Smart Cars for residential community opportunities. G4S has also reduced air travel by
bolstering the use of video conferencing.
Lean Resource Usage through Intelligent Design
On the energy front, our U.S. Headquarters in Jupiter, FL was consolidated from a 96,000 sq.
ft. facility to a 60,000 sq. ft. modular design building. Power saving measures included the extensive
use of glass to leverage sunlight over electric lighting; consolidation of onside data services and
relocation of a data center to an outsourced facility for greater efficiency in cooling and emergency
power; use of energy efficient T5 lighting fixtures and adaptive occupancy sensors to control all
interior lighting.
G4S has also reduced its waste by incorporating sensor active plumbing fixtures and the use
of reclaimed water for landscaping. All offices now participate in local waste paper recycling
programs and we continue to expand our electronic
document storage program.
Reduced Paper Usage with Secure Trax® Technology
G4S’ award-winning Secure Trax platform has been
commended for its contribution to climate action, eliminating
numerous paper-based administrative and reporting systems
including sign-in sheets and incident, safety and facility-
inspection reports.

Key Differences
G4S’ depth of resources and experience is unmatched. However, adding value to our clients’
operations extends well beyond an extensive list of capabilities. According to client feedback, what
distinguishes G4S from other providers is our ability to address their risk mitigation concerns by
delivering a cohesive program focused on results that are important to them. We will drive
exceptional value and efficiencies for the City of Fort Collins through our key differentiators, which
include:
Stable Organization with a Focus on Investing in Service Excellence
In an industry marked by ongoing mergers and acquisitions, G4S has continued to grow organically
by delivering on our promises:
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432
48
Providing exceptional customer service by an experienced management team and a stable
workforce
Investing in technology to drive meaningful results for our clients
Delivering superior solutions through a customized approach based on clients’ specific
needs
While merging companies are forced to focus on restructuring, reorganizing and trying to unify
disparate corporate cultures – often creating an uncertain environment for customers and
employees, G4S is a stable company with a tenured leadership team and an established
organizational structure. We possess a culture with unwavering values such as integrity,
performance, teamwork and customer-focus, marked by more than a century of industry experience.
For the City of Fort Collins, it means you can count on G4S to continue to invest in what matters to
you, including:
Deepening our customer relationships through skilled account leaders and ongoing
relationship management
Enhancing our employee selection processes and training and development programs
Advancing service and product innovation by deploying innovative software platforms and
technology service excellence centers
Additional Security Service Capabilities to Support your Broader Needs
G4S is the world’s leading international security solutions group. As such, we offer a unified, holistic
approach to a broad range of security challenges that provide clients with increased value through
the integration of G4S’ services including physical guarding, enterprise security systems repair and
maintenance, executive protection, high-risk country services, and investigations. This diverse
combination empowers G4S to examine and execute security programs from every angle, and
provide an innovative program that ultimately delivers more than the sum of its parts.
The City of Fort Collins has access to G4S’ diverse security capabilities beyond the scope of this

Risk360™
Risk Management Software Available to City of Fort Collins (client option…not included in pricing
proposal)
G4S also offers an optional additional enhancement to our Secure Trax® platform: RISK360™. G4S
developed our exceptional RISK360™ case management software to address the varied needs of our
clients. RISK360™ has numerous features that make it an ideal enhancement to the security program in a
commercial real estate environment:
Multi-faceted, analytical reporting
features to provide true data and
information on trends within one
facility or across multiple facilities
Incidents can be entered via a
personal computer or our handheld
Secure Trax® device
Locations can be defined to ensure
data is collected for the locations in
your organization.
Incidents are centralized in a web
based incident management
application where you can review
and approve incidents. Once
approved, information is available
for analysis in the business
intelligence portal under the
Incident tab.
Risk360™ provides you with the
flexibility to customize incident
categories based on your individual
reporting requirements, including
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432
50
four levels to segment your incident reporting: classification, category, sub-category, and type.
Not only can you customize what is reported, but you can also customize where incidents are
reported from.
Detailed incident reporting and notification features.
RISK360™ is an innovative, user friendly, cost effective and feature-rich incident management system that
can be easily customized to align with specific policies and requirements of customers.
RISK360™ supports the development of a risk management plan through the effective capture,
management, notification, and analysis of real-time data. This data can then be used to develop risk,
security, and safety plans that will reduce the costs associated with legal defense, liability exposure, and
damage to your reputation and brand. RISK360™ provides a complete end to end solution that goes far
beyond simple notification and recording, allowing customers to have a documented and measurable
business improvement cycle that tracks the effectiveness of security decisions and implemented
countermeasures. It all begins with capturing the events when they occur.
Emergency & Disaster Services
In the event of an emergency or disaster, G4S will continue to provide contracted security services
using our permanently assigned staff and flex-force capabilities. We will operate using our
Emergency & Disaster Protection plan and draw on officers, supervision, management and
equipment from our network of over 110 offices nationwide as needed.
Should you require emergency or disaster services in addition to our contracted scope, we can
quickly provide a contingent of 600+ qualified personnel to meet your emergency needs. This
response force, our Emergency/Disaster Services Rapid Response Team (Rapid Response Team),
is well trained, pre-equipped and capable of responding to crises wherever directed, such as:
Natural disasters such as fires, earthquakes or storms
Accidents that can lead to chemical spills or toxic releases
Acts of violence or malice directed at a company, governmental agency or individuals
Plant closing or work stoppages related to labor unrest
This type of coverage is considered “out of scope” of your security contract and is typically
negotiated under either our Emergency or Disaster Services Agreements with applicable pricing.
When you activate our Emergency or Disaster Services Agreements, we will mobilize the necessary
G4S personnel, management and equipment for rapid delivery of your contracted emergency
services.
Components of the G4S Emergency/Disaster Services program include:
G4S Emergency/Disaster Services Rapid Response Team
Officer communication during crises
G4S Emergency Operations Center
IT continuity plan & backup
Key fundamentals of the G4S Emergency/Disaster Plan
Objectives of the G4S Emergency/Disaster Plan
Proven response & performance experience
G4s Emergency/Disaster Services rapid Response Team
G4S officers, supervisors and management of the Rapid Response Team operate normally in client
engagements throughout the United States. Each team member has designated replacements within
G4S Secure Solutions (USA) Inc.
Proposal No. 8432
51
their local assignments so when the Rapid Response Team is activated they are cleared to respond
without jeopardizing their normal duties.
Proven Response & Performance Experience
G4S has deployed thousands of hours of emergency and disaster special services across the United
States. Several of our high-visibility projects include:
BP Oil Spill
G4S provided over 500 Custom Protection Officers®
(CPOs) to BP as part of its response to the oil spill in the gulf coast
in 2010. G4S CPOs provided protection of BP’s assets and
personnel across the gulf region in Louisiana, Alabama and Florida
with tasks that included access control at critical command and
control locations as well as at shore rehabilitation centers and wild
life refuges.
Hurricane Katrina
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast region of
the United States. Many of G4S’ customers in the area, specifically in
New Orleans, were severely affected. Even before the hurricane
grade winds had diminished, G4S activated its Emergency Response
Center and was able to deploy more than 1,600 security officers to
the area in a matter of hours.
The G4S security professionals were stationed at the sites for
a substantial amount of time, for weeks in some cases, and did not
leave the protected area until the situation returned to normalcy.
Hurricane Andrew
G4S headquarters stood directly in Andrew’s path and was
severely damaged; over 75% of our personnel were made homeless
or went without water, power and other necessities of life for weeks.
The government and critical business shut down. Yet G4S completely
fulfilled its responsibilities in South Florida, regionally, nationwide and
internationally. No client lost service, and not one paycheck was
delayed or misplaced.
Through our catastrophe counter-measures plan, within hours,
the corporation had security officers and other assistance en-route to headquarters from
throughout the southeastern and south central states.
Post September 11, 2001
Within 90-days of the 9-11 tragedy, G4S recruited, hired, trained
and deployed over 6,000 officers to U.S. airports, such as:
* Baltimore Washington International Airport
* Nashville International Airport
* Las Vegas International Airport
