                      COMMAND SECURITY CORPORATION REPORTS

                             FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Lagrangeville, New York *** August 11, 1997 *** Command Security Corporation
(NASDAQ:CMMD) today reported the results for its first fiscal quarter, ended
June 30, 1997. Revenues for the quarter decreased slightly to $11,788,480 from
$12,000,789 reported for the same period last year. The net loss applicable to
common stockholders for the quarter increased to $(511,105) or $(.07) per share
from the $(122,174) or $(.02) per share recorded for the same quarter last year.

During the period there was an increase of $295,000 in the provision for self
insurance reserves (a non-cash charge). This provision is based upon actuarial
computations and the timing of reported claims and is not necessarily indicative
of a trend. Without this non-cash charge, gross profit as a percentage of sales
would have been 16.3% in both the current quarter as well as in the same quarter
last year.

Commenting on the results of the quarter, William C. Vassell, Chairman of the
Board said, "We are beginning to regain our momentum following our year of
consolidation in fiscal 1997. During the last quarter we began to provide guard
service connected with the maintenance of ATM machines. At present we have
obtained contracts which are expected to produce in excess of $500,000 in annual
revenue. We are aggressively pursuing additional contracts in this area which we
feel has substantial growth potential."

During the quarter revenues for employer of record service agreement clients,
which are not reflected on Command's financial statements increased to
$4,869,219 from the $3,754,033 generated in the same period last year. Revenue,
attributable to Command for the services performed for all services agreement
clients increased to $427,793 from the $327,772 recorded in the prior period.

Mr. Vassell added, "We are pleased to report this quarter that net cash provided
by operating activities increased to $1,283,261 from the $672,363 generated in
the same period last year."
