Saint Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) April 16, 2005 -- Brown Security & Law Group, P.A. is a minority and veteran owned small business that provides security consulting, intelligence and investigation services. The firm's goal is to help businesses reduce losses caused by inadequate security measures. These losses can occur because of harm to employees, property damage, theft or lawsuits from allegations of negligent security.

What distinguishes Brown Security & Law Group, P.A. from the rest is the extensive training and experience of its founder, Alvin K. Brown. Before opening his own firm, Alvin was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as a security officer. His duties included providing executive protection to the former Director of Central Intelligence, Mr. George Tenet, and assessing and improving security at CIA facilities overseas.
