TRIBUTE
G.W. MEYERS III
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Operatus and especially Commander Powers for providing a white paper per my request that in turn allowed our police officers to all receive new Trijicon RMR redot sights for their duty pistols. The level of experience and knowledge that the Operatus provides to the law enforcement community is invaluable.

I am very impressed with Operatus and the new SENTINEL 07 program they have developed which sets a new standard for a new level of protection against
active shooter incidents. Combining their counter-terrorism experience with our technology at SDS will save innocent lives. In retrospect, I would like to also sincerely thank their
assigned agents and team members for assisting SDS in multi shooter testing using our technology which proved to be a great success.

International Music Producer & Entertainment Industry Consultant Several years ago, Lance Powers of Operatus was personally recommended to me by one of my celebrity clients for security and personal protection purposes. In my line of work, one cannot take any chances these days when it comes to protecting yourself, your family, or your clients. From day one, I have been very impressed with Mr. Powers’s professional experience and abilities.

The Operatus are some of the best protection specialists that I have ever met. They are detail oriented and a meticulous individuals in how they manage my protection and, as I have personally witnessed on several occasions, also lethal in deterring any threats. I believe that during my last trip to Georgia that Commander Powers and Agent Aggson that were assigned to my protection actually prevented a life threatening situation and are the only reason that I returned home safe to this day. My professional credits as a producer include the original music for TV shows: NBC Nightly News, Baywatch, and NBC Dateline, as well as live concerts, HBO original programs, PBS specials, and TV/Radio jingles, and most recently with Leann Rimes on the Desperate Housewives TV series soundtrack. I also contributed music to motion picture soundtracks: Top Gun, Where the Heart is, Runaway Bride, Enough, Serendipity, The Program, The Big Picture, and Life or Something Like That. I have also worked on many specialized music projects with such clients as Billy Ray Cyrus and Martina McBride.
Operatus Service makes it possible for me to continue my work without limitations in a safe and protected manner and they are based on my own personal experience simply the best at what they do!
Republican Presidential Candidate for the United States of America I would like to thank the Operatus for their excellent dignitary protection services. As you are aware, the job of protecting presidential candidates has become a much greater challenge in recent years than ever before. We live in an age of unprecedented political divisiveness and threats can materialize at a moments notice. This can impact the security and safety of those responsible for governing our nation including the final outcome of any election. Operatus is exemplary in the competence with which they provide protection and in regards to how they perform their tasks in and amongst large disorganized crowds.

United States Congressional Candidate As the former Sheriff of Graham County, Arizona and Congressional Candidate for United States Congress, I was gratified with the special protection services which Operatus provided me with during my speaking event with U.S. Presidential Candidate Ron Paul. Lance Powers, as well as all the members of my security detail, did an outstanding job and I felt very safe at all times. Operatus is a world class organization!
Sheriff Richard Ivan Mack
I met Lance Powers over 6 years ago when he was on site with a business intelligence group from Operatus Mr. Powers had me at hello with his professional demeanor and the way that he conducted himself in various situations. Mr. Powers is highly intelligent and projects a level of confidence that makes anyone want to strive harder to achieve their goals. I am not impressed easily, but highly recommend Mr. Powers without reservation to any corporation or organization that places a high value on security, integrity and performance!

As a well respected producer, writer, composer, recording artist and entrepreneur with clients such as Destiny’s Child, Beyonce, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, and Macy Gray, I use Operatus personal security services exclusively for my protection. I have earned seven Grammy Award Nominations, and also won a Grammy Award for my rendition of “Lady Marmalade” featured in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge. Due to my success and worldwide travels, I am very pleased with the level of security and service that the Operatus has provided for my family, friends, clients and I. I highly recommend their services for anyone that is serious about security and personal protection as they are some of the most bad ass highly trained individuals in black suits that I have ever met.

“Last year marked the biggest annual rise in deaths caused by terrorism, with more than 32,000 people killed in attacks around the world, so that is just another reason why I believe we need more organizations like the the Operatus to help win the fight against the ongoing threat of terrorism. ARGUS-VT1 developed and supported by Operatus is what security forces and military counter terrorism units around the world need to effectively meet and counter the ever-changing threats of global terrorism. Retaining the ability to quickly adapt and counter any threat is what tips the scales of engagement by providing those who fight terrorism with the ability to prevail.”
Jim Duffy
Operatus from a corporate prospective brings an unprecedented level of experience and knowledge rarely seen in our industry. Working with their directors and protection agents from day one has been a very rewarding experience. Combining their talents with the talents of our team at Protection One will set a new benchmark for innovation and excellence in the security industry. One thing I will also mention in closing based on my first encounter with Operatus, is that their protection agents like agent Fleming and agent Epting are not to be tested as they clearly demonstrated that their skill sets far exceed the average man.

The methodology and technology with which they conduct their operations with is exemplamary . These experienced professionals are the best of the best and I am honored to be on their board of strategic

“Our school with over 1200 students and teachers selected the Operatus to provide a full LS-VTR assessment and we have now never felt safer with their new security recommendations and counter-measure protocols. I was also extremely impressed with their close attention to detail and overwhelming commitment to our schools protection.”

Music & Records Industry Consultant at International Music Commission, USA I first met Lance Powers in 1984 when he was assigned to my protection durning many international meetings and events. Today the security agency he now represents provides the highest level of specialized security services available for my company IMC which provides music, records, entertainment, concert and international tour support services. We also provide multi-million dollar music consulting and investment banking services throughout the entertainment industry and are well connected with a number of investment bankers, private equity groups, hedge funds, and venture capital firms worldwide.

I would go so far as to say that the security services provided by Operatus are not only exceptional, but military grade. Lance Powers and everybody at Operatus are carefully selected for their intelligence, creativity, integrity, high ethical values, and extreme competence. Mr. Powers has also provided international security services for Brian Ross Productions, Starborn Records and the International Music Commission, specifically in Cannes, France, during the Midem Convention (www.Midem.com). Lance oversaw my activities in connection for international licensing for the music from “We Are the World”. written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. Experiencing the security services provided by the Operatus as they provided safety and welfare for the celebrity artists, producers, and executives working directly with me has always given me tremendous confidence and personal satisfaction.
I cannot say enough about the security services of Operatus other than to say that, in my opinion, there are no finer personal or corporate business protection or executive protective services available at any price, anywhere in the world. I highly recommend the services of Lance Powers and Operatus. On a scale of 1-100, I give this company a grade of 10,000. Operatus redefines the meaning of the word ‘excellence’. In sum, Operatus is an A+ agency, 100% state-of-the-art, and at the very top of their game. You will find none better.
OPERATUS is one of the most impressive organizations that I have ever encountered and VIKTOS is truly honored to be a verified premiere advocate partner as we only align ourselves with companies and organizations that are committed to excellence as we continuer to deliver without compromise throughout the world.
