INTERNATIONAL
     Wackenhut has become a multinational company with approximately 20,000
employees   in   this  country  and  overseas.  Since  the  company  became
international with the opening of an office in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1966,
TWC has expanded its services to countries in four continents.
     TWC  operations  now  spread  across  the  United  States, extend into
Canada,  across  the  Atlantic to the United Kingdom and Western Europe, to
the Middle East, Far East, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and South
America.  Wackenhut International, Incorporated, coordinates the activities
of  TWC's  overseas affiliates, subsidiaries and operations. It is itself a
wholly-owned subsidiary of TWC.
     Illustrative  of Wll's wide scope of activity are two recently-awarded
contracts.
     In  a joint venture with an Argentine partner, Autotrol, SA, Wll broke
into  the  Latin American nuclear power-generating market with a $7 million
contract  to  design,  engineer and implement a total security system for a
new  plant  built  by Argentina's Atomic Energy Commission near the city of
Cordoba.
     The   other  is  a  $14  million  contract  to  provide  training  and
supervisory  guidance  to  fire  and  crash rescue personnel at 15 civilian
airports  in  Saudi Arabia. Wll also concluded two other contracts with the
Saudi  government in 1980, one to provide a fire-fighting force for the new
Jeddah  International  Airport  and  the  other  to  provide  fire  service
communications systems at 13 Saudi airports.
     Working  closely  with Wll in such major international projects is the
Wackenhut  Systems  Corporation  and its Systems Design Division, which has
been  responsible for the planning, design and engineering of an integrated
total  security  system  for the entire Jeddah Airport complex, the world's
largest airport.
     The  Systems  Design  Division  is  also busy in security planning for
police departments, oil refineries, processing plants, industrial buildings
and numerous other projects.

DESCRIPTION
     The  Corporation's  principal business is furnishing security services
to  business, industry and professional clients, including protective, fire
and   safety   services   to  various  governmental  agencies  and  general
investigative services.
     Security   services  include  studying  problems  of  clients  through
professional  surveys,  designing effective systems of security to minimize
the  rise  of  loss  and  implementing  these  systems  utilizing Wackenhut
procedures  combined  with  guards,  electronic  devices and alarm systems.
Other   security   services   include   emergency   support   programs  for
labor-management  disputes.  A specialized service is provided for airlines
through Wackenhut's Pre-Departure Screening of passengers.x

     Electronic equipment is sold as part of an overall security system, as
well as to other security firms and through distributors.
     As   the   third  largest  international  investigative  and  security
organization  in  the nation, Wackenhut competes with other local, regional
and national security companies.
     The  Corporation  had  more  than 10,000 domestic clients during 1980.
These  ranged  from  clients  for  whom a single guard or investigation was
provided,  to  customers  utilizing  several  hundred  of the Corporation's
guards  along  with  investigative  and  other services. The largest client
during  1980  was  NASA,  John F. Kennedy Space Center, which accounted for
6.5% of the Corporation's domestic revenue during the year
     In 1980, the Corporation had approximately 17,000 employees (excluding
foreign operations).

ELECTRONIC SECURITY SYSTEMS
     As  part  of  a  program  to  streamline its electronic operations and
output  to  meet future demands and to provide clients with a broader range
of   products  and  services,  TWC's  east  and  west  coast  manufacturing
operations were consolidated during 1980 and placed within Stellar Systems,
Inc., of San Jose, California, another wholly-owned subsidiary.
     These  systems are utilized in high-security areas such as prisons and
nuclear power-generating plants, both in the United States and overseas.
     Outdoor  perimeter  security  was  revolutionized  by Stellar with its
development   of   a   new   type   of   technology   called  'E-Field',  a
high-performance   fence   sensor  designed  to  provide  the  ultimate  in
all-weather  intrusion  security. It can even signal whether an intruder is
trying  to  go  over  or  under  a  fence.  Stellar also has produced a new
fence-mounted cable sensor system called 'E-Flex', which features low-cost,
rapid installation.
     Among  Stellar's  other  sophisticated products is a proprietary alar
system  called  the  'Mars  1000'.  It is capable of monitoring up to 1,000
alarm  points  against intrusion, ideally suited for use in small-to-medium
size  industrial  complexes,  university  campuses and apartment and office
buildings.
     Another  electronic  tool  in  the  field  of  access  control that is
manufactured  by  Stellar  is  a  device  called  Identimat.  It recognizes
individuals  not  by  a  key  or  a card, but by the geometry of our hands.
Placing  a hand on the identimat scanner will instantly admit an authorized
worker  to  a  sensitive  area--or  refuse entry to anybody not authorized.
Thus,  the  ability  to gain entrance depends upon a non-transferable human
characteristic.
     TWC  acquired  during 1980 an interest in an electronics manufacturing
firm,  Securtec  of  Scottsdale,  Arizona,  which  produces  and  markets a
multi-point  alarm  system  with  the  unique capability of pinpointing any
intrusion.

OTHER SERVICES
     Wackenhut was a pioneer and remains a leader in another critical field
of  security  familiar to all travelers: Pre-Departure Screening of airline
passengers.
     Since  1972, when TWC launched its PDS service (in anticipation of the
federal  government's mandatory requirement for it the following year), the
distinctively  uniformed men and women PDS inspectors have had a major part
in virtually eliminating airplane hijackings in the United States.
     The  PDS service offered by Wackenhut has been extended in some cities
to include baggage claim and skycap assistance.
     The  Wackenhut  Institute  was created in 1979 to coordinate TWC's own
increasingly  sophisticated training standards and also to serve clients in
private industry.
     TWI,  comprising  a separate division at Coral Gables headquarters, is
staffed by recognized experts in every area of security.
     From  security  basics  and  Pre-Departure Screening methods developed
with  the  FAA,  their programs include specialized firearms techniques and
the advanced courses required for nuclear plant personnel.
     Increasing  numbers  of  private  corporations  are  turning to TWI to
update  the standards of their own proprietary guard forces. One segment of
TWI's  basic curriculum is especially tailored for security guards employed
by county and state governments.
     Loss  Prevention,  the  science  of  preventing  or stopping financial
losses  caused  by  theft,  is one of TWC's specialty services. Ironically,
businesses sometimes are unaware they are being robbed until the losses are
reflected  in  their own financial records. Even then they may be unable to
pinpoint the precise areas affected by theft.
     With  white-collar  crime  against business now estimated at more than
$50  billion  a year, Wackenhut's Loss Prevention experts are playing a key
role  in  rescuing  profits that would otherwise be lost. TWC personnel are
trained  in  methods  of locating possible sources of crime, analyzing them
and finding the best way of eradicating them.

INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION
     TWC  also  deals  with  crime  through  its prestigious Investigations
Division  whose  personnel  are  highly  experienced  in  undercover  work
surveillance, general and background investigations and polygraphing.
     Working  closely with the Investigations Division is Clarence M Kelley
and  Associates,  which  was  formed  as a separate entity of The Wackenhut
Corporation  to  provide  very  specialized investigation into white-collar
crime  and  arson.  The  division  is  headed by the former Director of the
Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation  and  its executives are also former FBI
agents. Clarence M Kelley and Associates is based in Kansas City, Missouri.
     Because  terroism  is a growing threat of the times, another major arm
of The Wakenhut Corporation is its Executive Protection Division. It offers
defense   against   terrorists,  kidnappers  and  criminal  assailants  for
executives, their families and others in high-profile positions.
     Services  include  surveys to identify vulnerabilities, implementation
of   protective  programs  and  periodic  audit  of  established  programs,
development  of  crisis  management  plans for corporations and training in
bodyguard and personal defense skills.
     The  Company  has  a  wholly-owned  casualty reinsurance subsidiary in
Bermuda. The major portion of the subsidiary's business is reinsurance of a
portion  of  the  Company's  workmen's  compensation  and general liability
insurance.
