Key Takeaways

Afghan parolees — many of whom served with US special operations forces, police advisory missions, or protective services in Afghanistan — bring world-class security experience to the US security services industry. Physical security companies providing armed and unarmed guards, executive protection, event security, and access control are natural fits for Afghan parolee entrepreneurs with professional protective services backgrounds. Bankable funds the equipment, vehicles, and working capital these businesses need.
