History: (2. 1) Origins: AETOS was established in February 2004. Since its establishment, it has merged the Auxiliary Police forces of CIAS, PSA Corporation and ST Kinetics as a result of an amalgamation exercise initiated by Temasek Holdings. . (2. 2) Diversification: In 2006, AETOS Security Management formed two wholly owned subsidiary, AETOS Security Consultants, and AETOS Security Training and Consultancy, to meet their broadened scope of unarmed business and training and consultancy business. (2. 3) Personnel: The first General Manager was BG (Ret) Andrew Tan (2004–2005). He was followed by Mr Kelvin Tan (2005–2008). This position was re-designated as Executive Director in 2008, when Mr Chua Chin Kiat took over. The current Executive Director and CEO is Mr James Tan Chan Seng, the former Commissioner of the Singapore Civil Defence Force. (2. 4) Evolve: AETOS is involved in armed protection services for key installations and strategic industries, such as the airports, ports, gencos and defence installations. This competitive advantage in aviation security is however lost when Certis CISCO takes over the airport contract in 2008
