Homeland Security Awards Tri-S Security Contracts for Services in California

By
Matthew Potter
(MoneyWatch)  The International Business Times has a press release from Tri-S Security announcing that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded their subsidiary, Paragon, two contracts to provide services in Los Angeles and San Diego. The contracts worth about $140 million combined are to provide guards for a variety of Federal sites in the two counties. Tri-S Security provides all facets of security for buildings and facilities for government and commercial customers. Paragon especially has a strong history of providing these kind of services to the U.S. Government. Once again this is an illustration of how much the government spends on things.
