candidates for chiefs of police throughout Illinois. As a result of our quality, thoroughness and value Integra
Security Alliance has been selected as one of only three classified as preferred vendors, the other two
companies are architectural firms. - Tony Ramos continues onto his second-term as co-chair of the Public/Private Liaison Committee for the
Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police.
- Processing up to 4,000 employee screens per day, we represent one of the largest team of criminal record
researchers in the country. These services are provided to employers, law enforcement, news media as well as
other screening companies. - ADT Security Service connects with Integra Security Alliance.

- Illinois Safety Council (ISC) www.ilsafetycouncil.org held their second annual expo and introduced Facility
Security as a new training session.
- Integra Security was selected as the presenter for both " Background Checks - What you Need to Know
and Ask" and "Facility Security". - Background Checks - this section explained the various screening options available to employers which
included finger prints, statewide screening, criminal databases, online criminal record checks, countywide
criminal records, social security traces and each of their benefits and limitations. We also covered the best
practice for selecting a screening vendor. - Facility Security - during this session we covered the new challenges facing businesses today and the
need to fully integrate and better document your faculty protection system. This included the latest in
system integration interfacing CCTV, burglar/fire alarms, access control with wire, wireless and internet

- Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce www.chicagolandchamber.org collaborates with Interga Security
regarding pending security related public policies.
- We have worked with their Government Relations Division to review recent security related ordnances
introduced in city council. These ordinances, as organically introduced, would have established additional
requirements involving employee background checks and video surveillance equipment which would have
also required a significant financial investment by employers and business owners. In each of these cases
we were able to effectively support the Chicagoland Chamber and prevent passage.
- Cook County Crime Stoppers web-site www.cookcountycrimestoppers.org exceeds 25,000 visitors to date.
- In 2004 the Cook County Crime Stoppers web-site was first launched. As a public service, Integra Security
volunteered to develop, host and maintain the site. Crime Stoppers is an organization that brings together
citizens, law enforcement agencies, businesses and the media to fight felony-level crime. First launched in
1986, Crime Stoppers has helped federal, state and local law enforcement agencies recover over $23
million in property and illegal narcotics. In addition, they have worked to develop additional information on
hundreds of individuals wanted for murder, bank robbery, attempted murder and other felony type crimes
which have led to their arrest. To learn more visit their web-site.
- Group presentations will continue
- We continue to make ourselves available to organizations addressing security related topics. Please
contact me directly should you interest in this service.
