==Article Improvements==
Hi. As many of you are already aware, this article can be greatly improved and expanded. There are also a small number of factual inaccuracies that should be reviewed and corrected. 
In the interest of transparency I am declaring that G4S is my client. I hope to work with other editors to ensure that this Wikipedia article is accurate. Please contact me on my Talk Page if you have any questions.[[User:Vivj2012|Vivj2012]] ([[User talk:Vivj2012|talk]]) 15:37, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

I don't know if I'm writing this in the right place, but the page says G4s is the 3rd largest private employer in the world - which is incorrect and does not equate with the relevant wiki page for largest employers in the world. (26/06/2019)
===Information Box===
A few details included in the article information box need to be updated. I've included a list of these below with relevant references for verification:
*'''Key People -''' Replace Nick Buckles (CEO) with Ashley Almanza
*'''Services -''' These now include 'Manned security services, cash handling services, justice services, and outsourced business processes related to security and safety risks'
*'''Revenue -''' Change to £7,297 million (2013) [http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2013/03/13/530162/0/en/G4S-plc-UK-DK-Annual-Financial-Report.html NASDAQ GlobeNewsWire]
*'''Operating income -''' Change to £516 million (2013) [http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2013/03/13/530162/0/en/G4S-plc-UK-DK-Annual-Financial-Report.html NASDAQ GlobeNewsWire]
*'''Employees -''' Figure is now 620,000 (2013)
 
Thanks [[User:Vivj2012|Vivj2012]] ([[User talk:Vivj2012|talk]]) 15:19, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
:Hi - I have updated key people, services and employees. I have not changed the revenue; the figures you quoted excluded the Olympics which I am sure the company would rather forget but should obviously be included. Likewise the figure you quoted for operating profit is before the Olympics and before amortisation. [[User:Dormskirk|Dormskirk]] ([[User talk:Dormskirk|talk]]) 23:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
===Introduction===
The introduction to the article would benefit from the inclusion of references that are currently missing. I've included suggested references below, if someone could review and add these to the article if suitable:
*G4S plc (formerly Group 4 Securicor) is a British multinational security services company headquartered in Crawley, United Kingdom.[http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=GFS.L Yahoo! Finance]
*G4S has a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.[http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-markets/stocks/indices/summary/summary-indices.html?index=UKX London Stock Exchange]

===History===
I've pulled together a G4S timeline that details significant dates in the company's history all the way back to 1901. The timeline can be found in my [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vivj2012/sandbox/G4S_History sandbox] if someone could review it and let me know their thoughts. Thanks [[User:Vivj2012|Vivj2012]] ([[User talk:Vivj2012|talk]]) 10:24, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
:Hi - This should not be added. It does not comply with [[WP:PROSE]] which requires text to be in flowing prose rather than timeline format; nor does it have in-line references as required by [[WP:SOURCE]]. It also looks similar to the history section on the company website and wiki material should always be independently sourced. Sorry! [[User:Dormskirk|Dormskirk]] ([[User talk:Dormskirk|talk]]) 20:11, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
::Thanks for getting back to me Dormskirk. Would it be better to have a written section focusing on the company history instead? There's so much information missing with regards to key events. Thanks [[User:Vivj2012|Vivj2012]] ([[User talk:Vivj2012|talk]]) 16:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
:::The history section is already quite long and G4S was only established in 2004. It would be better to expand the articles on [[Group 4 (company)|Group 4]] and [[Securicor]] if you are referring to history before 2004. Best wishes. [[User:Dormskirk|Dormskirk]] ([[User talk:Dormskirk|talk]]) 21:06, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
::::Hi Dormskirk. Included below are a number of points with supporting references that should be included under the History section of the article.

G4S was formed in July 2004, when Group 4 Falck’s security business merged with Securicor to create Group 4 Securicor and began trading on both the London and Copenhagen Stock Exchanges.[http://www.digitallook.com/investing/visual_tools/security.cgi?csi=104331&ac=&username= Digital Look]

In 2005, Lars Nørby Johansen was succeeded as Chief Executive by Nick Buckles and, in 2006, the new G4S brand identity was rolled out across its business worldwide.[http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=2173401&ticker=WDH:DC&previousCapId=426471&previousTitle=WILLIAM%20DEMANT%20HOLDING Bloomberg] In the same year, Alf Duch-Pedersen succeeded Jorgen Philip-Sorensen to become the non-executive Chairman of the business.[http://www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=20060630095518PBEDD FE Investegate]

In 2007, G4S officially entered the FTSE 100 index of leading companies on the London Stock Exchange. It also launched its ‘G4S 4teen’ programme, an innovative global sports development project.[http://www.telegraphindia.com/external/display.jsp?mode=details&id=25057 The Telegraph India] In 2007 the company also began providing electronic monitoring equipment and services in New Zealand.[http://www.professionalsecurity.co.uk/news/news-archive/em-in-nz/ Professional Security]

In 2008 G4S acquired GSL, a leading provider of critical primary and support services and outsourced justice services; Armorgroup, a leading provider of defensive and protective services to national governments and international peace and security agencies; RONCO Consulting Corporation, one of the world's premier humanitarian and commercial mine action, ordinance disposal and security companies; and Scottish Rock Steady Group – who steward at major sporting and music events mostly in the UK.[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/2786738/Troubled-ArmorGroup-secures-sale-to-G4S.html Daily Telegraph] [http://www.ifsecglobal.com/document.asp?doc_id=546004&site=ifsecglobal IFSEC Global] [http://www.ifsecglobal.com/document.asp?doc_id=545743&site=ifsecglobal IFSEC Global]

G4S appoints Clare Spottiswoode and Winnie Kin Wah Fok to the G4S Board as non-executive directors in 2010, whilst entering the Brazilian security market with acquisitions of Plantech and Instalarme. G4S also acquired Skycom, a market leader in the African systems market.[http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/companyOfficers?symbol=GFS.L Reuters] [http://investinbrazil.biz/news/uk-based-firm-g4s-making-additional-investment-acquisitions-brazil-51-stake-acquisition-plantec Invest in Brazil] [http://www.advfn.com/lse/ShareNews.asp?sharenews=GFS&article=44345362 ADVFN]

===Operations===
The accuracy of the Operations section could do with updating to ensure that it's accurate. I've written content which I think could replace the current Operations section, and should most probably be titled Services and Operations. Feedback welcome:
====Services and Operations====
G4S PLC specialises in outsourced business processes & facilities in sectors where security & safety risks are considered a strategic threat, with expertise in the assessment & management of security & safety risks for infrastructure, valuables. [http://tools.morningstar.co.uk/uk/stockreport/default.aspx?tab=0&vw=sum&SecurityToken=0P00007ODS30E0WWE$$ALL&Id=0P00007ODS&ClientFund=0&CurrencyId=GBP Morning Star]

====Core services====
G4S’ core services include ‘Manned security services’ – where it provides trained and screened security officers. [http://utahpeoplespost.com/2013/04/g4ss-top-pick-rating-reaffirmed-at-rbc-capital-gfs/ People's Post]

The company provides ‘Security systems’ such as access control, CCTV, intruder alarms, ﬁre detection, video analytics and security and building systems integration technology.

‘Monitoring and response services’ is another core service, where G4S provides key holding, mobile security patrol and response services and alarm receiving and monitoring facilities. [http://www.prosecurityzone.com/News_Detail_G4s_monitoring_and_response_gains_new_md_4294.asp#axzz2TvJpC51J Pro Security Zone]

G4S provides ‘Secure facilities services’ which includes integrated facilities services for entire sites or estates for commercial customers and governments.[http://www.infologue.com/company-news/g4s-wins-major-ministry-of-justice-integrated-facilities-services-contract/ Info Logue]

The business has ‘Risk management and consultancy services’ which also includes mine detection and clearance services.[http://www.stoplandmines.org/org.asp?o=116 E-Mine]

G4S also provides electronic tagging and monitoring of offenders at home or in the community.[http://www.securityoracle.com/news/G4S-Secures-Half-Year-Profits-Boost_18748.html Security Oracle]

The company provides back office support functions for police forces, support for front line policing including the provision of custody suite services and forensic medical services.[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-22338332 BBC News]

It also manages juvenile and adult custody centres. This includes the management of all aspects of a facility and those held within the facility – similar centres are also used for the detention of asylum applicants.Prisoner escorting is another core service. G4S transports prisoners and asylum applicants between courts, police stations and custody centres.[http://www.g4s.com/~/media/Files/Annual%20Reports/g4s_annual_report_2012.ashx G4S Annual Report 2012]

====Operating Structure====
G4S segments its business into two areas; secure solutions and cash solutions.

Secure Solutions includes services for commercial and government organisations in areas such as risk consulting, manned security, and security systems. Commercial contracts make up 59% of G4S turnover, and government contracts amount to 23% of G4S’ turnover.

Cash Solutions is the outsourcing of cash cycle management for banks, financial institutions and retailers - making up 18% of G4S' turnover.[http://www.g4s.com/~/media/Files/Annual%20Reports/g4s_annual_report_2012.ashx G4S Annual Report 2012]

In 2011, the company reviewed its operations and developed a sector-based approach to its business activities. As a result of the change, G4S’ mining division grew its business by more than 50% in 2012.[http://www.mining-technology.com/features/featuresucceeding-mining-security-g4s-andrew-hames Mining Technology]

:I have updated the operations section but the material on the board etc is all information that could be obtained from the Group's website. [[User:Dormskirk|Dormskirk]] ([[User talk:Dormskirk|talk]]) 19:18, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

====Activities====

A paragraph has recently been added, under the heading “Operations, Activities”, detailing certain contracts that G4S Forensic and Medical Services operate with the UK's National Health Service. It is inappropriate to include this, as it focusses on too narrow an area. These particular contracts operate in one region of one country, out of the 120 countries in which the group operates, and make up less than 0.1% of Group revenue. I would suggest this particular paragraph be removed from the page.

In the interests of transparency, I am declaring that G4S is my client. I am hoping to work with the Wikipedia Editors to ensure this article is accurate. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions.

===Controversies===
Three additional points regarding Israel, the Wackenhut Subsidiary and London 2012 are missing from the existing Controversies section. If someone could please review these points and let me know their feedback. Many thanks, [[User:Vivj2012|Vivj2012]] ([[User talk:Vivj2012|talk]]) 14:48, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

====Israel====
In April 2012, G4S released a statement detailing its activities in Israel. The company provides maintenance for some electronic security systems at a prison, a police station and a small number of checkpoints in the West Bank.[http://www.business-humanrights.org/Search/SearchResults?SearchableText=g4s+israel Business & Human Rights Resource Centre]

====Wackenhut Subsidiary====
In 2013, G4S announced its intention to divest its US Government services business, citing difficulties faced by non US business in accessing appropriate data.[http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/g4s-divest-us-government-solutions-141000921.html Yahoo! Finance]

====London 2012 Security Contract====
Following the Olympics games, G4S provided a donation of £2.5m to military charities as a goodwill gesture.[http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/aug/13/london-2012-g4s-donate-2-million The Guardian]
:All three points seem fair enough: I have added them to the text. [[User:Dormskirk|Dormskirk]] ([[User talk:Dormskirk|talk]]) 20:18, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

====Immigrant-detainee labour====

I note that a sub-section has been added titled 'Immigrant detainee labour' stating that G4S was this year criticised for using immigrant detainees as cheap labour. The source cited is an article in the Guardian newspaper. Since the initial accusation is clearly stated, in the interests of a balanced and more informative entry, I believe the statement made by the Home Office refuting the allegations should also be included. This statement was in fact also in the Guardian article, and reads: "The long-standing practice of offering paid work to detainees has been praised by Her Majesty's inspectorate of prisons as it helps to keep them occupied whilst their removal is being arranged. Whether or not they wish to participate is entirely up to the detainees themselves. This practice is not intended to substitute the work of trained staff".

In the interests of transparency, I am declaring that G4S is my client. I am hoping to work with the Wikipedia Editors to ensure this article is accurate. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions

They faked his psych clearance, that allowed him to concealed carry on the job, as they had done for over 1,500 others and got fined for it by the state of Florida. G4S had the fox guarding the henhouse. [[User:Activist|Activist]] ([[User talk:Activist|talk]]) 09:14, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

I have heard the G4S was the company that recently had dogs attack unarmed protesters at the Dakota Access Pipeline construction sites.

== G4S has recently fired aproximately 75 employees in the last months. ==

This company is going to implode! The marrital team at the top of the U.S. team, has fired approximately 75 employees. Many of these being 24+ year employees, from back in the Wackinhut days. The finance department is now headed by an incompitant team, moral in the feild is at an all time low due to lost leaders and corporate support. By the way, six figure bonuses were being made at the top regularly while the the lower management and people at the lower runs didn't even recieve a cost of living increase year after year. Don't take this post as truth, investigate for yourself. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:587:4300:2A7A:FF:F7EC:8EBB:D744|2601:587:4300:2A7A:FF:F7EC:8EBB:D744]] ([[User talk:2601:587:4300:2A7A:FF:F7EC:8EBB:D744#top|talk]]) 01:48, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
