Yuma, AZ (PRWEB) December 14, 2006 -- Since September 11, 2001, business and industry has paid close attention to security within their own organizations. In fact, no other time in modern history has business and industry been more concerned with security issues.

A new concern for security measures to combat potential terrorism, sabotage, theft and disruption -- which could bring any business to its knees -- has swept the nation. This has opened up a huge opportunity for private investigators and security professionals to conduct in depth security surveys so businesses will know exactly where security holes are present and where they need improvement to limit their exposure to such threats.

Terror threats are not new issues for many American businesses and government agencies. But the need to accurately assess security risks, devise strategies to protect against them and establish effective reclamation procedures became the number one priority for many organizations immediately after September 11, 2001.

While cumbersome government entities worked to realign themselves and establish new policies and procedures, the invaluable role that the private security industry would play became immediately evident. One such private agency, Yuma-based Contreras Associates International, LLC (CAI) is already in position to establish itself as an industry leader.

While many private investigators scramble to carve out a niche for themselves in this field, CAI will be able to respond quickly, drawing on the resources of its own experienced staff, which includes its founder and president Miguel Angel Contreras, PhD, CPP, CFE, a retired federal criminal investigator with 30 years of law enforcement experience. Dr. Contreras will also sub-contract and network with other private security investigative, consulting, and training agencies.

CAI hopes to rely on its success which will result in the agency's growth in the area of homeland security services. CAI would provide clients with the information and strategies they need to reduce terrorism vulnerability from all possible attacks, including bioterrorism. The agency would negotiate threat assessment and feasibility studies for significant utility companies, large real estate developers, major corporations and government agencies in Arizona, in other USA locations, and South America and Europe.

Homeland Security is only one aspect of CAI's comprehensive investigative, consulting and training services. Established in 2006, by Dr. Contreras, the full-service investigative agency hopes to build a reputation for in-depth expertise in four main areas: security, corporate investigations, private investigations, and corporate consulting. The professionals provide discreet services for those looking to find a person, investigate employee theft or recover assets. Executives and high profile, celebrity clients would rely on CAI for personal bodyguard service or other security need.

Security Consulting consists of observation, inspection, interviewing and specialized report writing with recommendations. It requires a special knowledge of current security and risk issues. This manual covers these topics in a special simplified way giving you the ability to quickly move into this area of lucrative investigative and security specialization. Some of these types of cases tend to be on the large side of revenue producing case work for investigative and security agencies.

CAI will be using a number of strategies to keep public interest alive in all of its investigative initiatives and when the need arises, CAI will be doing pro-bono work when other agencies have given up hope.
