TIER I · PROGRAMS & COMPLIANCE

Threat assessment teams trained to recognize the early signals.

Program design, team training, and escalation architecture for organizations carrying workplace violence exposure they have not yet had to operationalize.

— I.

The situation

"We have indicators coming in through HR, IT, and security — and no single place where they get assembled into a coherent picture."

Workplace violence prevention is not a single program. It is a cross-functional discipline that lives at the intersection of HR, legal, security, and frontline management — and fails when any one of those four operates without the others.

Engagements typically include assessment of the existing prevention posture, design or refinement of the cross-functional threat assessment team, training of intake and triage personnel, and development of escalation and intervention protocols that work the way the organization actually operates — not the way the protocol binder describes.

Who this serves

HR leadership and in-house security teams handling rising threat indicators. General counsel managing the legal exposure that accompanies prevention failure. Operations leaders in distributed workforces, healthcare systems, schools and universities, and any organization where employee, vendor, or visitor behavior carries elevated risk.

The work is designed to give a threat assessment team genuine operating capability — not policy theater.

The qualification

"Three decades of work in federal protection, corporate enterprise security, and the behavioral discipline of the U.S. Secret Service's Office of Professional Responsibility inform how a threat assessment team actually has to function when the indicators arrive. Not theoretical. Operational."
