PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Believe it or not, spring is almost here and with spring comes many special
events. If you have been with us for more than a year, you are well aware
that Moore Security provides a phenomenal amount of extra coverage for
Thunder over Louisville as well as Derby related events. Once again this
year, we will be working with the Marine Corp Unit out of Ft. Knox for
the majority of special event coverage. That is only a small portion of
our requirement and we may be calling on many of our permanent Officers
to assist with other standing posts. We know this causes great strains
and we definitely appreciate your cooperation.
Moore Security is currently in the process of renewing the contract with
one of our larger clients. In the negotiation process, the client made
the comment that they have never seen the loyalty of Security Officers
to a company as with Moore Security. That is probably the most valued
compliment a company could ever receive. We realize that there are certain
elements in this industry that we cannot overcome. No one ever makes enough
nor has enough benefits. Knowing that, we have always tried to provide
what we can and be the kind of employer that earns that kind of respect.
I personally want to say thank you to the Officers that project that dedication
and loyalty. Unfortunately, with our growth, I do not get the opportunity
to meet as many Officers as I would like, but I can honestly say that
I am extremely proud of the professionals I have met.
We always promote our new clients and the opportunities that they provide,
but it is client retention that is the true mark of success. It is our
existing clients who remain with Moore Security for years that are testimonial
to the job you do. Our client retention rate is off the charts compared
to national averages and with your continued dedication and loyalty, this
will not change.
On a similar note, while meeting with a prospective client, he told us
that he allowed us an opportunity based on an impromptu meeting he had
with one of our Officers. He asked the Officer a few questions about Moore
Security and was very impressed with his answers. The Officer portrayed
a very positive image of Moore Security and now we have an opportunity
of a new partner. Unfortunately, he did not know the Officer so we cannot
give proper thanks, but please know that every day you are the best advertisement
Moore Security could ever have.
As always, thank you again.

OFFICER COMMENDATIONS
Stan,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Moore Security
for responding to our emergency needs concerning the high water on Utica
Road. ALL the security guards did an excellent job. As of this date, I
have not heard one complaint from the residents of Longview Beach area.
I know this was hard on some of the guards as they worked a lot of extra
hours, more than normal. However, they all stepped up to the plate and
were more than willing to go the extra mile when necessary. I especially
want to say how much I appreciate Butch Love and Jed Davis. Their help
to me was immeasurable. Butch Love is doing a great job overseeing our
Security at River Ridge. The Security guards we now have in place have
caught on to being a team and approach their jobs in a very professional
manor. Their respect for Butch is evident. Jed Davis is always ready to
do whatever it takes to get the job done. Jed is my eyes and ears here
at River Ridge and is very professional when it comes to his job. I appreciate
his efforts and concern. We have good men doing a great job!
Thanks everyone for a job well done!!

Sara,
I am writing this note to inform you of some of the great employees we
have at Moore Security.
On 2/18/05 I received a telephone call from Joe Douthitt regarding a possible
emergency at the Trimble County Power Plant (The details were left out
due to confidentiality). I called Sergeant LC Brewer at the Plant and
had him recall all of the assigned Security Officers assigned to Trimble
County.
In less than an hour, all security officers were on site and were deployed.
I arrived approximately 30 minutes later with two Security Officers to
help with the manning.
Fortunately the event turned out to be a non-event, but to mobilize, post,
and brief, a guard force in this short of a time shows our Officers dedication
to our Clients (LG&E) and to Moore Security. I would like to personally
thank each of them for their quick response, dedication to our client
and their willingness to keep LG&E personnel and property safe.
Below are listed the names of these exceptional Officers:
Capt. Karen Willis (Trimble County Power Plant Post Supervisor), Lt. Carolyn
Moore (Trimble County Power Plant Shift Supervisor), Sgt LC Brewer (Trimble
County Power Plant), Janice Smith (Trimble County Power Plant), Barbara
Martindale (Trimble County Power Plant), Bob Godsey (Ghent Power Plant),
Capt. Virginia Smith (Moore Security Field Supervisor), Maj. Lesa Wiseman
(Moore Security Field Supervisor), Maj. David Powell (Moore Security Patrol
Supervisor), Charles "Vince" Boehnlein (LG&E Flex Officer).
Respectfully,
Scott

SCHOOL SAFETY TIPS FOR PARENTS
Be sure your child knows His or her: home phone number (including area
code) and address, your work number, the number of another trusted adult,
and how to use 911 for emergencies.
Make sure your child has enough change to make a phone call or they carry
a telephone calling card.
Plan a walking route to school or the bus stop. Choose the most direct
way with the fewest street crossings and use intersections with crossing
guards. Test the route with your child. Tell him or her to stay away from
parks, vacant lots, fields, and other places where there aren't many people
around.
Teach children -- whether walking, biking, or riding the bus to school
-- to obey all traffic signals, signs, traffic officers, and safety patrols.
Remind them to be extra careful in rainy, foggy, or snowy weather.
Make sure they walk to and from school with others -- a friend, neighbor,
brother, sister.
When car pooling, drop off and pick up children as close to school as
possible. Don't leave until they have entered the school yard or building.
Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides or gifts from
strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone you or your children doesn't
know well or doesn't trust. If your child is home alone for a few hours
after school:
Set up rules for locking doors and windows, answering the door or
telephone. Make sure he or she checks in with you or a neighbor immediately
after school. Agree on rules for inviting friends over and for going to
a friend's house when no adult is home.
Take time to listen carefully to children's fears and feelings about people
or places that scare them or make them feel uneasy. Tell them to trust
their instincts. Take complaints about bullies and other concerns seriously.
