Somali program is company’s latest assignment for African nations
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Oct. 15, 2009) - CSS Global Inc. announced today that its experienced international protective operations team will provide security consulting services and training to the transitional government of Somalia.
Under a contract recently approved by Somalia government leaders, CSS Global will assist the government’s security, dignitary protection and counterterrorism programs. CSS Global’s protective operations instructors will train a significant portion of the government’s new security force.
In September and October, CSS Global executives met with the leadership of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia in Nairobi, Kenya and in Washington, D.C.
“On behalf of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, I am happy to announce that CSS Global has been awarded a long-term contract to provide security and training services in the areas of Dignitary Protection and Counterterrorism,” said H.E. Ali Hassan Gulaid, Ambassador and Special Envoy of the Transitional Federal Government. “I am confident the expertise of the CSS Global senior staff will prove to be a valuable asset to us in our efforts to establish a safe and secure Somalia for our citizens.”
CSS Global, an affiliate of Ada, Michigan-based CSS Alliance, has provided counterterrorism, security and logistics services in emerging markets. The CSS Global protective operations team is comprised of former military and law enforcement personnel, including former Special Forces members.
“We’re honored and proud to work with the Transitional Federal Government to improve security services in Somalia,” said Chris Frain, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Owner of CSS Alliance. “Our protective operations team has the experience and focus to provide strategic security services and support operations in any situation. Our focus on providing exceptional service doesn’t change based on where our teams are deployed.”

Its clients include the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which was in need of emergency response services following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Ike in 2008 to set up and manage temporary shelters, feeding stations and mobile medical units.
