EagleOne Logistics Intensifies Security Procedures With Oversight from the Hutchinson Group

FORT SMITH, AR (May 29, 2007) - EagleOne Logistics, which specializes in the shipping and distribution of pharmaceutical drugs, has hired the Hutchinson Group LLC to audit the company’s loss prevention procedures and oversee facility security and best practices. The Hutchinson Group was founded by Asa Hutchinson, former Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Administrator and Undersecretary of the Border and Transportation Security Directorate, the largest division of the Department of Homeland Security.

 

“This partnership will position us as a leader in the shipping industry when it comes to emerging security, recovery solutions and prevention strategies,” according to Tim Blount, Vice President of Human Resources and Compliance for EagleOne Logistics. “This relationship will enhance our security procedures by providing checks and balances, thus giving us another level of expertise and prevention.”

 

“The Hutchinson Group will also help us build stronger relationships with regulatory and compliance organizations, such as the DEA,” said Blount. “The Hutchinson Group provides access to a variety of other services, including a response team of retired DEA agents that conduct driver audits, route shadows and supply chain awareness.”

 

“EagleOne has taken great pride in its security and state-of-the-art technology that inspires confidence in the integrity of its shipments,” noted Asa Hutchinson, CEO of the Hutchinson Group. “EagleOne impressed me with its security investment and its commitment to going the extra mile to protect the customer and the public.”

 

Under Hutchinson Group’s advisement, EagleOne Logistics has hired a former police detective David Joplin to oversee all of the new security features and to coordinate the day-to-day security efforts. He will act as the point-of-contact with Hutchinson Group and EagleOne’s customers for any potential losses.
