The key note speakers will be Commander José Luis Rojo y Arabi, President of GCD and FEPASEP and John Cockburn, President of Bulldog Technologies, Inc. The former will be addressing the audience with his magisterial conference “Development of Reengineering in Security, Challenges to Modernity” (Desarrollo de Reingeniera en la Seguridad, Retos a la Modernidad).

Bulldog’s Mexican Value Added Reseller (VAR), Grupo Irosa, will present and perform live demonstrations for the RoadBOSS™and YardBOSS™. Grupo Irosa is teamed with Mexico’s number one security provider, Grupo Diamante who is supplying essential GPS and cellular infrastructure to facilitate computer tracking of Bulldog-equipped trucks and trailers. For further information visit Grupo Irosa on the web at www.irosa.net and Grupo Diamante at www.diamante.com.mx.
Grupo Diamante executive Rocío Molina said yesterday in Mexico City, “Government, corporate and private security professionals must acknowledge the new faces of crime and loss and deter them by pushing the envelope of technological advantage. Bulldog Technologies has developed precisely what the security community has been searching for and will be rewarded for its foresight.”
As Commander José Luis Rojo y Arabi stated, the patented Bulldog RoadBOSS™ GTS and YardBOSS™ are the only devices presently able to offer electronic cargo door sealing, tracking and recovery functions in the Mexican market. This functionality enables Government Agencies, Cargo Transportation Companies, Law Enforcement Agencies and Insurance Companies to manifest, secure, track, manage and recover a variety of transportable goods and other valuable assets.
John Cockburn will also be meeting His Excellency Mr. Gaëtan Lavertu, Ambassador of Canada in Mexico to discuss the cross border security under the NAFTA Agreement and the new regulations of the US programs like C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and FAST (Free And Secure Trade) and its repercussions for Canadian companies operating in Mexico and the window of opportunity opened to a high-tech security company like Bulldog Technologies Inc. with its mission of “Protecting the Global Supply Chain”.
Bulldog and its partners have also been successful in pre-negotiating significant cargo insurance discounts for its Mexican customers. Major insurance companies such as Royal & SunAlliance will also offer deductible relief of up to 50% of normal rates, should non-recoverable claims occur while Bulldog customers are so equipped.
