WHAT DOES ERIGERE RAPIDUS MEAN?
"Erigere" is a Latin word that means to raise, erect, build, or stimulate. The Latin word "Rapidus" means rapid or swift. Combined it is known to mean "rapidly erect, to rapidly build." In the Special Operations community, it came to be known as "rapid entry/rapid deployment.” It symbolizes the commitment to training and preparedness, which is the cornerstone of the Special Operations community’s success. The phrase was adopted by Department of Homeland Security's Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) as their motto in 1986, and stands today.
Erigere Rapidus Solutions uses a proprietary process for planning, tracking and managing security contracts and projects. Our skillset was developed over years of experience in federal, state and local law enforcement and the military.
