Each year the magazine selects its elite list by reviewing quantitative and qualitative scores pertaining to the company's depth and scope of its training techniques, curriculum, strategy and personnel. Dr. Michael E. Goodboe, Wackenhut's Chief Learning Officer, said "This recognition distinguishes G4S Wackenhut in the security industry and signifies that we have some of the best trained personnel serving our customers."
