Master List - Security A&E / Consultant
We are putting together a master list of security consultants / architects & engineers (A&Es), similar to what we have done for recruiters and manufacturer reps.
The main qualification we are looking for is people / companies that prepared at least 4 Specifications in video surveillance or access control in the last year.
In this list, we do not want to include people who do generic consulting or guard services or your buddy who sometimes gives advice on cameras. Also, anyone who installs or sells products may not be on this list as we are focusing on 'pure' consultants/A&Es.
Make your suggestions below. Please include any details you know of people within a company or speciality of the firm.
I'm going undisclosed to avoid the wrath of any consultants that aren't happy about me singling out just this one guy, but Mike Anderson stays current on technology, and writes good docs. Especially if you're talking about higher end integration / PSIM type projects, I would recommend him.

Guidepost Solutions Technology Group - Growing firm, has acquired several smaller firms in recent years.
C.H. Guernsey - old-time architectural/engineering firm with security consulting division.
Aggleton Associates - NYC area

Hi,
My name is Stephen Bukoski. I recently became partners with David Saywer of Safer Places this past May. Our company is a security consulting firm located in the Boston area. I myself have been in the industry since 1990 working as a project engineer at Simplex for 12 years and spending the next 12 years working as both an account executive and manager of engineering for a Boston based security integrator. Although I have written many specifications with my previous employers, I prefer using statistics based on Safer Places' performance. We have generated over twenty-five (25) specification since May of 2013. These specifications have foused around mid to large sized IP based surveillance systems, video analytics and access control systems.
Our website is www.saferplacesinc.com
I look forward to being a part of the IPVM community.

No, mainly because we did not feel we got enough responses to put together some formal list. We'd like to but not sure how to do a list that is anywhere complete / authoritative.
