David S. Katz, the Chief Executive Officer of Global Security Group, Inc., is delighted to announce that our firm has been selected again as the sole security provider for the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. This marks the third consecutive year that Global Security Group, Inc. has the privilege of serving this iconic event.

The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro and Craig Hatkoff to help revitalize the economy in lower Manhattan after the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11. The TFF has flourished each year and has become one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. The mission of the film festival is “to enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival experience.” Global Security Group, Inc. is honored to support the TFF and to have been chosen once again to provide security for this internationally acclaimed event.

Tactical Pistol Training/Judgment Shooting using the Meggitt XVT System:
Training will be conducted using Meggitt’s state of the art shooting simulator and is identical to the system currently in use at the FBI/DEA Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Participants will use inert training weapons that have been permanently and irrevocably altered to fire a laser burst detectable only by the system. Our instructors have been certified to provide this training by the United States Department of Justice and provide a level of training not commonly available to the general public. Participants are subject to background screening prior to attending the courses. Private and group sessions available.

In response to the surge in recent threats directed at those in the financial services industry, we are providing comprehensive security and life/safety assessments for individuals working in this targeted sector. In addition, we are also offering on-location safety and security briefings. These presentations detail the basic security measures that executives must follow in order to enhance their own level of personal security. Our instructors can provide a variety of programs from a 45 minute “Executive Safety Briefing” to more comprehensive full and half day sessions. Please contact us for additional information.
