Grassroots Home Security - Collaboration and sharing of information by state and local government safety agencies during critical situations is receiving greater attention and priority. First responders continue to struggle to communicate with peers in other agencies or jurisdictions as part of coordinated emergency response efforts. This necessary communication technology is nicely addressed by Ryte Byte Homeland Security, Inc.(RBHS). RBHS is located on East Wacker Drive in Chicago, and was formed in October 2007 after Ryte Byte in Baraboo, WI received an Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) Homeland Security Market Development (HSMD) Innovative Produce Grant (IPG) to develop higher level law enforcement and homeland security applications for Lynx Sentinel (developed in 2006). Lynx Sentinel is a suite of geospacial database mapping and tracking software solutions for law enforcement, public safety and homeland security markets. Lynx Sentinel is already being used to provide police and county sheriff departments with the tools needed to effectively

track sex offenders

and comply with federal, state, and local laws and ordinances regarding sex offender tracking and notification including

Megan’s Law,

Jessica’s Law, and the

Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act.

Lynx Sentinel™ automatically plots on a map or satellite image the locations of sex offenders (home and work) and protected areas where children congregate (e.g. schools, day care centers, playgrounds, and bus stops), and warns users when

sex offenders

violate protected areas. The user-generated reports are easy to read and save countless hours of tedious hand searching and measuring. With the integration of GPS devices, Lynx Sentinel™ can

track sex offenders

in real time and warns of protected area violations by SMS, email or audible alerts. The same level of detailed assistance is being customized to assist SWAT, HazMat, Search & Rescue, EMS and Homeland Security. All this is being specifically developed for smaller-sized/budgeted law enforcement and emergency management agencies to provide them with similar functionality and state–of-the-art tools, information and technology at a fraction of the cost of those currently in use by large counties and municipalities. Lynx Sentinel is:.

# Installed and operational in hours. Requires minimal training.
# User friendly. Reports and alerts are easy to understand. Time sensitive information is at the user’s fingertips and easily shared over an internal network or the web.
# Cost-effective. Visual interface with satellite maps without expensive GIS software.
# Time saving. No need to interface with IT/GIS department to produce reports. The user defines the information managed and there are no limitations to what can be tracked.

AMERICAN TRANSIT CORP.
Had its origins in 1935 in Danville IL, when the brothers Dominick and Peter Giacoma began operating the Bee Line Transit Corp. south of Danville to Georgetown, replacing an Illinois Traction Co. interurban railway branch. The Giacoma brothers subsequently acquired additional bus companies in Midwest and southern states, and in 1951 incorporated American Transit Corp.(ATC) as a holding company for these bus companies. In 1966, ATC became a subsidiary of Chromalloy American Corp., a diversified conglomerate. And as more transit systems became publicly owned, ATC evolved to a management company for such transit systems. In 1987, Chromalloy American Corp. was acquired by Sun Chemical Corp., which manufactured printing ink. And in 1987, Sun Chemical Corp. changed its name to Sequa Corporation. And in 1989, Sequa sold ATC to Vancom, a Chicago area school bus operator. The school bus operations subsequently were sold to Laidlaw, while the transit management company was sold to National Express, operating intercity buses in Great Britain. And in 2005, ATC was sold to the European company Connex, which then changed its name to Veoila.

In late 2007, the Company acquired Laidlaw Transit, Inc., a competitor. In October 2007, the chief executive officer of First Student was coming to give assurances to the First Student employees, “talking to the employees about the new acquisition; [and telling them] not to be threatened by it.” About this same time, the Union began its organizational campaign.

Apology - To Mason
I have a big apology to make. Mason/Fred - is Fred Leatherman. I highly doubted this after finding another Fred Leatherman in Paducha KY - what are the chances. He has since updated his infromation on the Wa State Bar association and they match up. I am sincerly sorry and when I am wrong - I admit it. Please accept my apology. I also reached out to sevaral people who interviewed Fred - they did not think he would be on this forum posting with his real name. I stand to be corrected.
The real Fred Leatherman - has stood up.
If I'm misunderstanding your post then I apologize but why in the world are you reaching out to people that interviewed Fred to prove that he is who he says he is? How is that your business Dawn? Isn't that an invasion of his privacy? Are you trying to find other posters true identities too?
When people on a public forum start investigating others to find out their identity then that becomes a serious and dangerous situation.
