The Recent Loss of Our Officers and Friends

06/05/2004 This week marks a dark period in CIS history. In one week, we have lost two of our own in two separate tragedies. On June 3rd, CIS Officer Ken Barker died from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident and on June 5th, we lost Chris Neidrich to enemy fire in Iraq. Both Ken (Saber 122) and Chris (Raven 18) are men of distinction with this agency. Chris was a friend who many of us in senior management mentored since 1993. Throughout his career, Chris helped develop our CCBPI methodology and protected VIP’s from the Saudi Royal family, CNN anchorwoman Paula Zahn, Radio host Glenn Beck, and many others. Chris was currently assigned as Detail Leader for Blackwater protecting coalition interests in Iraq. Both of these men proudly served for our country, Ken a Marine and Chris a Navy Seal Candidate. They continued their service to the community and this agency with the same pride and distinction. Both of these men have left behind young children. Ken has a little girl named Madison and Chris has a boy named Gage. We are working on a scholarship for their children in their honor. If you would like to help or send condolences to the families, please email Mandy Holtz at holtzml@cisworldservices.org. Funeral arrangements with full honors for these officers are pending and will be announced on the CIS web site. – KC Poulin, CEO – Critical Intervention Services “The men and women in the private security field are the forgotten soldiers of an invisible empire.” Professor Christopher A.

In Memory of Christopher Neidrich, RAVEN 18

06/05/2004 We are deeply saddened to announce that at approximately 10:30 am, June 5, 2004, CIS special operations officer Christopher Neidrich (RAVEN 18) was killed in an ambush near Baghdad International Airport. Chris was on temporary assignment in Iraq providing Executive Protection for American diplomats. Chris came to CIS in 1993 after being Honorably discharged from the United States Navy. Chris was accepted into the Navy’s prestigious Basic Underwater Demolition School, where he trained to be a Navy SEAL. Due to personal reasons, Chris had to separate from the Navy but still wanted to be apart of an elite force, which brought him to CIS. While with CIS, Chris served in the SSG division where he was an integral part of what we are today. Chris later transferred into the Executive Protection Division where he was assigned to high profile celebrities, business executives, and a number of other details where he always proved to be a valuable asset to CIS. In December of 2003, Chris was scheduled to certify as an Anti-Terrorism Officer giving him one more identifier as a trained professional; Unfortunately this was delayed due to his selection by Blackwater USA to deploy for assignment in Iraq. Chris is survived by his 4-year-old son Gage Neidrich and his fiancĂ© Angela. Chris will be missed and always remembered as a true warrior that not only spoke about being a professional, but also lived as one. A special memorial page has been put up to honor Chris and his contributions to CIS. CIS personnel and people who knew Chris are welcome to contribute comments in memory of Chris by sending an email to cgundry@cisworldservices.org.
