Today, TechNet International, Inc. (“TechNet”) announced its implementation of improved customer security features prompted by recent world and national events.

In response to requests from some of its major customers, TechNet has implemented a nationwide upgrade to its technician integrity system which assures customers of the integrity of TechNet's work force in and around customer's sites, employees and customers. TechNet now requires a complete criminal background check for each technician provided to install service or perform any other function on TechNet's behalf.

TechNet understands that its customers have an increasing awareness of their duty to provide the highest degree of comfort that all due diligence has been taken to provide for secure surroundings.
