ARES Group, Inc. dba ARES International Security (ARES), pronounced AIR-EEZ, is a Virginia-based business SBA 8(a) certified company that specializes in the implementation of security and management solutions to create a secure environment for our customers.

ARES’ Corporate Officers and seasoned employees have vast experience in security, law enforcement, information management and classified operations support.

The Corporate Officers have directly supported security requirements for the General Services Administration, NASA, the Defense Intelligence Agency and other intelligence agencies, Department of Justice, Environmental Protection Agency, commercial organizations and the Department of Defense.

The ARES Corporate Vision is to ensure successful accomplishment of our client’s goals and operational objectives by providing the most innovative, responsive Business Services and Solution Possible. The mission is to provide these services in an ethical, responsive, innovative, effective and cost efficient manner. Only through the success of our client’s objectives can ARES realize its own success in the areas of growth and increased capabilities.

3.0 Services

ARES offers support in multiple areas of security services for organizations that require government security clearances. Our core services revolve around the following security disciplines:

· Protective Force Operations and Management

· Program Protection and Program Security Support

· Vulnerability and Threat Analysis

· Physical Security Analysis

3.1 Protective Force Operations

ARES provides protective force services to government and commercial customers. These services range form reception duties to security force operations, and include very diverse mission tasks:

· Armed and Unarmed Security Officers;

· Alarm Monitoring, Dispatch and Response;

· Special Response Team Operations;

· Security Escorting into classified or sensitive areas;

· Roving Patrols; and

· Vehicle Patrols.

3.2 Canine Explosive Detection Services

ARES currently provides trained Explosive Detector Dog (EDD) Services in the form of at least one (1) trained and certified Explosive Detector Dog Team (EDDT), comprised of a certified EDD and EDD Handler. ARES EDDT personnel are capable of performing the following:

· Inspection of all incoming mail, packages and other deliveries made to the client building and/for facilities prior to delivery and receipt by client personnel. Such items will be inspected as directed by the client at the Post Office Receiving site, a designated area within the facility parking lot, at the facility loading dock, or other appropriate area as directed by the client.

· Inspection of any suspicious packages found within the facility that may include off-site facilities as requested by the client on an as needed basis.

· Inspection of facilities/buildings/parking lots/compound entry points and/or vehicles as required or at the direction of the ARES Lead Canine Handler, the client Technical Representative or other designated personnel in charge during a bomb threat, evacuation drill exercise/event or other emergency.

· ARES provides EDDTs to provide EDDT roving patrols as required in times of heightened security or during specific threats. These patrols will pay particular attention to exterior areas in keeping with explosive detection search techniques and protocol to include all areas specified by the client or deemed appropriate or exigent due to circumstances by the on-duty EDDT.

3.2.1 Training & Certification of EDDTs

All ARES Team EDDT handlers are graduates of a credible EDD handler course that has been recognized by a U. S. Government, Law Enforcement, Military or private commercial industry Working Dog School. Their certifications are conducted in accordance with Phase II of the Department of Treasury Odor Recognition Proficiency Standards for Explosive Detection Canines. The ARES Team handler and canine training courses are four weeks in duration. The course is designed to produce highly proficient EDDTs encompassing all aspects of canine explosive detection. The course consists of classroom and operational field training through a credible training academy. After initial certification as an explosive detection handler, site based operational training is performed to accomplish expertise at the deployed site. During their certification course - which includes the 12 topical areas listed below, each handler must demonstrate superior knowledge, skill, and proficiency to pass the final written, oral and practical tests. The ARES EDDT handler training includes, but is not limited to:

· Philosophies/theories of explosive detection,

· Improvised Explosive Device (IED) recognition,

· Legal and liability aspects, including applicable department policies,

· Public relations,

· Care and maintenance of canines,

· Obedience and control,

· Area searches,

· Building searches and,

· Vehicle Searches,

· Search techniques/patterns,

· Safety precautions, and

· Explosive alert procedures (bomb procedures).

Annual Re-certification of our EDDTs occurs on an annual basis. ARES adheres to the Odor Recognition Proficiency Standard for Explosives Detection Canines (the ATF Standard), which employs an odor recognition proficiency test (the Test), and is established to determine if the EDDT can successfully recognize explosives odors. The test is used in conjunction with our training methodology and provides a standardized method for assessing our EDDT’s ability to recognize explosives odors. ARES conducts the re-certification training and testing in the operational environment of the working canines. The re-certifications are documented and video taped from start to finish including the selection, placement and return of all explosives and will be provide the documentation and videotape to the client technical representative upon completion.

3.2.2 Care & Maintenance

Providing care for our canines is essential to the success of our program. Our handlers receive training about proper care and maintenance techniques during their initial certification, and are kept abreast of industry trends. There are five aspects to our canine maintenance policy.

1. Dog Rest. Providing ample time for our canines to rest is a crucial element of accurate performance in the field. While a team can search intermittently over a long period of time, a single repetitive task will reduce detection accuracy. Each canine will be provided ample opportunity to rest and be active outside the parameters of job. This includes 15 minuets of rest every hour, which provides dogs with the opportunity to relax. We also take specific measures to ensure that our canine teams have an opportunity to recuperate from the day’s work at the end of their shifts. We provide our working dogs with a quiet home environment, where they can rest without distraction and prepare for the next day of work. Our strict schedule of work, play, and rest provides a balanced life for our working dogs, prevents burnout, and increases dog proficiency.

2. Medical Care. ARES has contracts with leading veterinary clinics to provide our canines with medical care. Our dogs receive annual physicals, rabies shots, and emergency care when needed. Our veterinary clinic also recommends individual diets based on each dog’s weight, breed, and nutritional needs. This ensures that our dogs remain healthy and maintain the energy level needed to perform their work.

3. Grooming. Our handlers are responsible for the daily grooming of our dogs. Our dogs are bathed at least once a week during the summer, and monthly during the winter. This allows our dogs to maintain protective oils on their coats during the winter, and remain cool in the summer.

4. Kennels. Each handler’s vehicle is equipped with a portable kennel for the transport of canines to and from work. Our dogs also have separate, permanent kennels at the handler’s residences (unless provided on-site by the client) provide larger, more comfortable sleeping arrangements.

4.0 Commitment to Quality Services

We have demonstrated, in our past and current contracts, the ability to motivate both new and incumbent employees to new levels of performance, resulting in significant improvements in job quality, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, our management team considers the input provided by ARES personnel as an invaluable part of the Quality Control (QC) process. Our personnel are encouraged to suggest improvements in the way they perform their jobs. ARES management provides thorough, ongoing QC oversight, and recognizes and rewards innovative thinking. ARES’ management initiatives have resulted in a work force that is not only customer oriented, but able and motivated to take advantage of the latest technology and to suggest ways of improving day-to-day performance.

5.0 Corporate Presence

Unlike most security contractors, we believe in developing long term working relationships with our customers. This begins by providing on-going corporate presence on the contract site and not only when there is a problem or when the customer requests our presence. As part of our Corporate Quality Control Plan, a senior ARES corporate official meets face to face with each of our client representatives at a minimum of once a quarter. Additionally, another method we use to stay abreast of customers’ needs is through phone and email interactions. As you can see corporate presence is a big priority of ARES. Our experience has shown us that increased corporate presence increases employee morale, and demonstrates our commitment to quality services and successful performance.

6.0 Summary Our proven performance and values will continue to assist Federal agencies in meeting the evolving challenges of maintaining the integrity of security services in an environment of tight resources and elusive threats to our Nation’s security posture. Our approach to performance is to create an environment where our people are responsible and accountable for achieving results, with the highest degree of performance and quality. Finally, we offer a low performance risk because of our established experience within the federal government in providing armed and unarmed physical security services.
