Former U.S. Sen. Kit Bond is teaming up with a former U.S. marshal to start a private security company.

Kit Bond Corporate Protection Services will be based in Columbia. The president of the new business is Mauri Sheer, who until May had served as a federal marshal in western Missouri where he coordinated security at three federal courthouses.
