PRELIMINARY NOTE

      The persons filing this Amendment No. 1 are (i) Tweedy, Browne Company
L.P. ("TBC"), a Delaware limited partnership, and (ii) Vanderbilt Partners,
L.P. ("Vanderbilt"), a Delaware limited partnership. This Amendment No. 1
amends a Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC and Vanderbilt dated June
10, 1996 (the "Statement"). The filing of this Amendment No. 1 should not be
deemed an admission that TBC, and Vanderbilt comprise a group within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act").

      This Amendment No. 1 relates to the Common Stock, $.001 par value (the
"Common Stock"), of Pinkerton's, Inc. (the "Company"), which, to the best
knowledge of the persons filing this Amendment No. 1 is a company organized
under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices located at
15910 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 900, Encino, California 91436-2810.

      This Amendment No. 1 contains information regarding shares of Common Stock
that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held in the
accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it has obtained sole
or shared voting power.

      Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC and
Vanderbilt, there has been no material change in the information set forth in
response to Items 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly,
those Items are omitted from this Amendment No. 1.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNTS OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

      As of the date hereof, the number of shares with respect to which TBC may
be deemed to be the beneficial owner is 528,635 shares of Common Stock (the "TBC
Shares"), all of which shares were purchased in open market transactions. The
aggregate cost of the TBC Shares, including brokerage commissions, was
$12,911,490.

      The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts, the funds therefor coming
from the funds on hand in each individual managed account and in certain
instances from standard margin account borrowings from brokerage accounts
maintained at Fleet Clearing Corporation. It is expected that funds used by the
TBC Accounts to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, if additional shares
are purchased by the TBC Accounts (see Item 4 hereof), will come from the funds
on hand for each individual managed account, which funds on hand at any time and
from time to time may include, among others, funds borrowed pursuant to margin
accounts maintained at Fleet Clearing Corporation. Borrowings made by certain
TBC Accounts pursuant to such margin accounts are secured by margin securities
owned by the respective accounts, including some of the TBC Shares. Interest on
outstanding borrowings under such margin accounts ranges from 1/2% to 2% over
the brokers' call rate in effect from time to time at Chemical Bank, New York,
New York, depending upon the amount of outstanding borrowings at any given time.

      As of the date hereof, Vanderbilt beneficially owns directly 7,100 shares
of Common Stock (the "Vanderbilt Shares"), all of which shares were purchased in
open market transactions. The aggregate cost of the Vanderbilt Shares, including
brokerage commissions, was $175,246.

      It is expected that funds used by Vanderbilt to purchase additional shares
of Common Stock, if additional shares are purchased by Vanderbilt (see Item 4
hereof), will come from Vanderbilt's general funds, which include cash and cash
equivalents on hand and in banks.

      Vanderbilt's general funds have included, and it is expected that they
will from time to time include, funds borrowed by it pursuant to an
understanding with Chemical Bank. No borrowings from Chemical Bank were made by
Vanderbilt for the purpose of acquiring the Vanderbilt Shares. Vanderbilt
reserves the right to include all or any of the shares of Common Stock owned by
it at any time or from time to time, among the securities that serve as
collateral for such borrowings, subject to compliance with any applicable
statutes and regulations.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a) As of the date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
an aggregate of 528,635 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately
6.33% of the 8,346,469 shares of Common Stock which TBC believes to be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The TBC Shares are held in the TBC
Accounts.

     Also included in the TBC Shares are 215 shares of Common Stock held in a
TBC Account for a charitable foundation, of which Christopher H. Browne is a
trustee. Mr. Browne is a general partner in TBC and Vanderbilt.

     As of the date hereof, Vanderbilt beneficially owns directly 7,100 shares
of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.09% of the 8,346,469 shares
of Common Stock which Vanderbilt believes to be the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding.

     Each of TBC and Vanderbilt disclaims that it is the beneficial owner of any
of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock with respect to which TBC and Vanderbilt could be deemed
to be the beneficial owner as of the date hereof, is 535,735 shares, which
constitutes approximately 6.42% of the 8,346,469 shares of Common Stock, which
the filing persons believe to be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission
that TBC is the beneficial owner of any of the TBC Shares.

     The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect
to which each of the General Partners may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
by reason of his being a general partner of TBC and Vanderbilt, respectively, is
535,735 shares, which constitutes approximately 6.42% of the 8,346,469 shares of
Common Stock outstanding. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed
as an admission that any of the General Partners is the beneficial owner of any
shares of Common Stock, except as set forth herein as expressly and admittedly
being beneficially owned by a particular General Partner.

     Each of TBC and Vanderbilt disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Stock
held by the other. Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of TBC and
Vanderbilt, no person who may be deemed to comprise a group with any of TBC,
Vanderbilt, or any other person named in Item 2 hereof, beneficially owns any
shares of Common Stock.

     (b) TBC has investment discretion with respect to 528,635 shares of Common
Stock held by the TBC Accounts and has sole power to dispose or direct the
disposition of all of such shares. Of these shares of Common Stock, TBC has sole
power to vote or to direct the voting of 464,420 shares of Common Stock held in
certain TBC Accounts.

     Each of the General Partners of TBC, solely by reason of their positions as
such, may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose of or to direct the
disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts; and
(ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 464,420 shares of Common Stock
held in certain TBC Accounts.

     Vanderbilt has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of and dispose
or direct the disposition of the Vanderbilt Shares. Each of the General Partners
of Vanderbilt, solely by reason of their positions as such, may be deemed to
have shared power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the
disposition of the Vanderbilt Shares.
