CONSHOHOCKEN, PA--(Marketwire - December 8, 2008) - AlliedBarton Security Services, the industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, has earned national recognition for its training programs for the fourth consecutive year on Training magazine's Top 125 list. Last week, Training magazine, the leading business publication for learning and development professionals, announced that AlliedBarton is one of the companies selected for the annual Training Top 125 list, the ranking of companies' excellence in employer-sponsored training and development programs. The ranking for the 125 leading organizations will be revealed during an awards gala held February 9th at the Training 2009 Conference & Expo in Atlanta, GA.

"We were the first security company to be awarded for our training program by Training magazine and are honored now to be the only security company to rank as a training leader for four consecutive years," said Jim Gillece, AlliedBarton Chief People Officer and Senior Vice President of Human Capital Management.

"As a learning organization, we've established a culture of learning and development with programs that constantly evolve. As our clients' needs shift, we revise existing or develop new training programs to ensure our security officers are prepared. Our offerings evolve to utilize technological advancements."
