new division has trained 6,000 employees in more than 50
companies in 10 states and Canada.
“Never has a team of this caliber been assembled by a
private entity in the United States,” says Nick DeMedici, ATS
general manager and former law enforcement officer. “The ATS
team combines years of training and experience from agen-
cies including the United States Secret Service, United States
Marshals, NCIS, United States Army and state and local law
enforcement agencies. The most impressive aspect of our pro-
gram is our team. Knowledge is power, and we have gathered
an amazing amount of talent, both in subject matter and the
ability to present the material.”
