  1. "Boelter helped lead the private security firm Praetorian Guard Security Services". Frankly, anyone who names a "security" company after the Praetorian Guard should be preemptively arrested.

  2. Web site still up at time of writing.

Praetorian Guard - Meet the Leadership Team

Dr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military. He has worked for the largest U.S. oil refining company, the world's largest food company based in Switzerland and the world's largest convenience retailer based in Japan.

Yeah, so he's saying he worked at a 7-11?

The security firm's site says they "only offer armed security," and that they use "the same make and model of vehicles that many police departments use in the U.S

And why would you want to advertise that?

Vehicles that look like cop cars are a better deterrent than something that says security services on it.

Can confirm; have a Durango (which our highway patrol uses) and the number of folks that slam on their brakes when they see me on the highway is humorously large.

In all fairness, its better than advertising that you exclusively offer unarmed security

This guy better have an armed escort twice as big as Luigi when going to trial. If he lives that is. But he won't.
