Work Violence techniques
The principal problem facing employers has been the lack of information and qualified professional assistance to reduce the potential for a violent incident. This is where our comprehensive investigation methods will help you reduce the risks created by workplace violence. We employ cutting-edge technology and proven interview techniques.
We also perform covert surveillance, forensic consulting and intervention planning, psychological and behavioral assessments, executive protection (armed and unarmed), comprehensive background investigations, workplace violence prevention and intervention training, Post-traumatic stress debriefings and site surveys and risk assessments.
We work with licensed behavioral psychologists and executive protection professionals, most of who are former federal law enforcement and are licensed & insured to carry concealed weapons.
We often liaison with local authorities to provide practical remedies. We are cautious not to violate anyone’s “reasonable expectation of privacy.” We pay special attention to all state and federal statutory regulations, as well as private sector liability for unlawful surveillance (civil & criminal liability).
