DWS Defense Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DataWorld
Solutions, Inc. (PinkSheets: DWLD) is proud to announce that former
New York City Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik, CEO of
Giuliani-Kerik LLC, NYC, has joined their advisory board. In his
position as advisor to DWS Defense Systems, Mr. Kerik will help
guide DWS in responding to the post 9/11 security and defense needs
in today's world. "We are proud and honored to have Mr. Kerik join
us and believe his expertise and world-renowned experience in
counter-terrorism and the security marketplace will enhance DWS
Defense Systems emergence in the security arena," says CEO Daniel
McPhee. Mr. Kerik, who recently returned from Iraq and was
responsible for the reconstitution of the Iraqi Ministry of
Interior said, "I look forward to working with DWS, a company that
is focusing on the security needs of the international community,
government and corporate America." DWS Defense Systems was created
in response to the growing security concerns expressed by the
clients of DataWorld. In reaction to acts of domestic and
international terrorism, businesses are searching for better ways
to protect their buildings, and more importantly, to better protect
the people who work in or visit these locations. DWS will offer one
such solution -- high quality, state of the art security glass and
the associated security system -- that will have numerous potential
applications. Glass currently used in many buildings may
potentially cause significant injury if shattered. The DWS solution
can minimize this problem and provide greater security to the
building's occupants. The in-house architect and engineering team
at DWS, who have over 80 years of combined experience in the
security and defense field, will be able to assess and customize a
turnkey security solution for any type or size of business. DWS
Defense Systems and its highly skilled team will design, develop,
install and market specialty products and equipment for the
security needs of domestic and international businesses. The
company is already in negotiations with a number of Fortune 1000
companies to provide security solutions that will be tailor made to
suit each company's particular needs. About DataWorld Solutions:
