DHL also utilizes intrusion alarm, access controls and armed guards at its warehouses to monitor freight, company officials explained.

DHL is also taking its security initiative one step further and is partnering with the BASC World Organization to obtain an Americas Regional certificate for the Latin American nations it serves.
