To be fair to the guy, we shouldn't judge his security qualifications by the quality of his webpage.
I also think it is a good idea to have foreigners involved in the security business here given that accountablity and professionalism are lacking and hope he does well.

Chip...you're slipping.
Mr. SAS himself stated that "if you read the website info you will see I already have the contacts and the training."
On a side note: Using SAS in a security company's name is pretty silly unless you've somehow been officially associated with the highly-trained, ultra-professional British SAS.
If I were him I would take down the site and re-assess my business plan. This one hasn't passed the most elementary of tests - the message board bull**** detector.

Well, I did not want to sound 'unpleasant' but rather tried to protect from further embarrassment.

Well, I am almost certain that the person in the picture is not the webmaster nor the owner of this security firm...

Thanks for your feedback on the Web site.
Many companies have focus groups composed of the target audience and they gather unbiased opinion on images, brochures, sites etc. and their brand identity is created and based on this. This owner of SASDOMREP a former senior police officer will be taking all this feedback into consideration and will be obtain another photo that's more suitable. You can submit your comments by PM to SASDOMREP, I think that's a more constructive way to critique someone's work tactfully and privately.
I wish her all best and hope that her services and products bring security to the lives of her clients. I hope she'll have the luxury of time and the budget to contract marketing professionals.

The "unpleasant" remark was included because that's how he referred to me in an earlier post.
As far as the tiguere in the pic...I bet it's SASdomrep himself!

A decent response.
The only thing I would add is that when we make public claims we should expect public criticism.

Scandall, no disrespect intended, but I doubt the picture is SASdomrep himself, since it is my understanding SASdomrep is a woman.
This was discussed in another thread.
If I am incorrect in my assumption, I apologize in advance.

I received an email asking me what the Russian connection was 
Интересный сайт по охране - Доминиканские будни
And on a more serious note, there have been mails from people a bit concerned when seeing billboards with those sort of pictures that somehow this could be misinterpreted for a gringo company war on locals. I don't know if what they have seen is the same as the photo mountainfrog linked to but it appears that there are/is billboard(s) on the highway. Is this true?

Thanks for correcting me (in addition to the 5 PMs I just received telling me the same thing).
Newsflash: The 50 cent wannabe in the pic is not SASdomrep (qualified international security specialist).

Why is it in this life and on this forum there are always those that feel the need to attack and critisize those willing in life to work hard and get ahead. I hardly think that any client is going to run inside, if robbers are entering their property, switch on their computers and check for any design errors. Rather they will be more impressed by the actions of the company and protection given when they are under threat. I have already had cause to use firearms in threatening situations here in this country and I am pleased to say that all criminals involved are now enjoying the normal 5* star accommodation.
Lambada stop finding any reason whatsoever to attack me, you are merely adding to the tremendous support and friendship I get from people that you have previously insulted.
Thats it! I am not responding again to these inane childish remarks, I am busy, I have a business to run.
