ICTS in tram deal

Security services provider ICTS International N.V. has announced that its subsidiary I-SEC Homeland Security has signed an agreement with Rotterdam Elektrische Tram (RET), a provider of mass transit services in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and surrounding areas. The agreement will see I-SEC provide security consulting services aimed at improving RET's security posture and its readiness to deal with potential terrorist attacks.

I-SEC will develop and implement security courses for RET staff, frontline employees and management. Other elements include a site-by-site risk assessment and the development of security procedures for terror-related incidents. The agreement runs through 2007.

I-SEC previously conducted a security survey of the RET organization and found that it was well prepared to deal with safety-related emergencies.
