We will put the media in contact with the CMAS that has the appropriate experience to intelligently answer the reporters questions.

Private Security Committee
Establishing information to be made available to the Private Security personnel that are deploying to hostile areas in an effort to make their deployment safer and more comfortable. Provide basic deployment equipment list and vendor contact information on how to acquire the materials and items. Post Lesson Learned information on the Google site in an effort to raise awareness to know risk or threats.
ATAB does not publish a membership list for the security of our CAS holders. For this reason no one will contact you in reference to a committee. If you have a desire to participate in a committee or submit a paper for the resource disk, you will need to contact the appropriate individual above.
If your company would like to hire an instructor in any of our areas of expertise, first preference is given to the Master Anti-terrorism Specialist, however any CAS that we would refer to you will be a qualified trainer.
