| Sparta Commercial Hires Top Law Enforcement Expert As Strategic Consultant |
| New York; January 19, 2010 |
Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. today announced the hiring of Joseph C. Peters, Esq., as a Strategic Development Consultant focusing primarily on expanding Sparta’s already established Municipal Leasing Program.
Commenting on the appointment, Anthony Havens, Sparta's CEO, said "Given Sparta’s commitment to more broadly offer its Municipal Leasing Program to local, city, and state law enforcement agencies throughout the country, Joe’s understanding of the competitive landscape, along with his long-standing relationships in this arena, will be invaluable. We are honored that he has chosen to join the Sparta team.”"
"I've been familiar with Sparta for some time” Peters said, “and particularly impressed with their Municipal Leasing Program. This program offers appropriate police and other governmental organizations an extremely valuable alternative to the traditional way of purchasing items like motorcycles to tactical vehicles, fire and rescue units to ambulances, and more. And in these very difficult budgetary times for those agencies, Sparta’s Municipal Leasing Program can reduce the annual capital outlays and allow the agencies to pay for the equipment over extended periods of time. I’m very enthusiastic about this relationship and proud to be a part of this forward thinking and innovative company."
Joe Peters is an internationally recognized expert on high-level security, intelligence, surveillance and protection systems.
