Akal Security
This is a settlement for the Commercial lawsuit.
Topeka, KS: (Jul-14-07) The US Government brought a lawsuit against Akal Security, a New Mexico security firm, alleging that it violated terms of a contract to provide trained civilian security guards at eight Army bases. Akal Security was hired in September 2003 to provide guards at Fort Riley; Fort Lewis, WA, Fort Hood, TX, Fort Campbell, KY, Blue Grass Army Depot, KY, Fort Stewart, GA, Sunny Point Military Ocean Terminal, NC, and Anniston Army Depot, AL. The suit stated that an investigation revealed that the firm failed to provide as many guards or their proper training as the contract required. The case stemmed from a lawsuit filed on behalf of the federal government by guards who were hired by Akal to work at Fort Riley.
In a settlement reached, Akal Security agreed to pay $18 million to settle allegations. Akal President Daya Khalsa said the firm was cooperating with the government to uncover any and all discrepancies and was working to strengthen its own training programs to comply with all contracts.
