As Chairman of the Board and CEO, I often argue that the Center for Security and Emergency Management and C4SEM Enterprises are unique resources in security and emergency management training and consulting organizations.

 

Our Honor Line store is often described as one of the most reliable suppliers of uniforms, equipment, and gear for our first responders.

 

I can make this claim for three reasons.

First, C4SEM is built upon an academic model through which we provide objective research and a client-centered myriad of security services and training. Our mission and vision are shaped by our core values, ensuring that those services and training are insightful and technically rigorous. Our core principles and extensive military and law enforcement experience keep our programs and services rooted in the real world, the world that our clients are facing today.

 

Second, all of the work that we do, be it providing security service, investigation, training, consulting, or research our mission projects are formed by our systems perspective. That perspective begins by recognizing that there is no single solution. Security and emergency management depend on a complex fabric of national and international security policies and politics that are constantly interacting, evolving, and ultimately shaping our strategies. As leaders, we are trained to see and understand the larger environment in which problems arise and for which sustainable solutions can be crafted.

 

Finally, the diversity of perspectives and backgrounds found in our team is matched only by the diversity of clients whom we serve and the challenges that we address across the continuum of security and emergency management programs. We have many voices within our organization but only one purpose: to deliver comprehensive, systematic solutions that improve safety and security.

 

Thank you for visiting our Web site. We hope you return often.
