The BENS Business Force is the perfect vehicle for businesses to make a meaningful difference.  By pledging resources during times of crisis, when the opportunity cost is low, or by offering pro bono services to support well-managed projects, Business Force member companies can contribute in a cost-effective and highly leveraged way.  Initial programs have generated over 20 dollars of security capability for every dollar invested in Business Force operations.  And the Business Force enables employees to feel a sense of pride for having made their community safer.

"You have shown real leadership with the formation of the MidAmerica Business Force. I especially applaud your efforts on agroterrorism, a long time concern of mine.”
-- Kansas Senator Pat Roberts
