Nederlandse Veiligheidsdienst was the largest Dutch private security firm between 1911 and 1999.[2] Ernst van der Lee started the organisation under the name Gecombineerde Nachtveiligheidsdienst (GNVD).[3]

Merger

The Nederlandse Veiligheidsdienst was sold in 1999 to the Falck Group.[4] Falck already owned Group 4 and Securicor these two companies merged to become Group 4 Securicor.[5] In 2004, the merger was only allowed by the Netherlands Competition Authority if parts of the company were sold to prevent a monopoly in the securities business. Falck Security & Services, was sold to Facilicom.[6] This resulted in Nederlandse Veiligheidsdienst being renamed Trigion.[7]
