Missionaries Security

One phone call could alert Simi Valley Police Lt. Bob Klamser that a group of vandals was smashing car windows in a parking lot. The next could as easily alert him that a group of terrorists had kidnaped a missionary family somewhere in the Third World. Watch commander and head of his department's hostage negotiation team, Klamser also is a founder of Contingency Preparation Consultants, a 3-year-old, nonprofit company that advises overseas missionaries on avoiding--and surviving--capture.
