Our core values of honesty, integrity, professionalism, and excellence shape our identity and guide our actions. Let's look at how these values come to life in our work:
Honesty: We believe in maintaining transparency with our clients.

However, in line with our value of honesty, we openly communicated these findings to the client, helping them understand the potential risks and the necessary steps to mitigate them.
Integrity: We stand by our commitment to provide unbiased and impartial advice. A case in point is when we recommended a more cost-effective security solution to a client, even though we could have suggested a more expensive option. This decision was guided by our integrity and our focus on serving the client's best interests.
Professionalism: Our team's professionalism is reflected in our punctuality, responsiveness, and respect for our clients' time and resources. For example, during a crisis management project, our team worked around the clock to ensure the client's business operations were minimally disrupted.
​
Excellence: We strive for excellence in all we do. This was evident when we helped a client implement a comprehensive workplace violence prevention program. The program was not only effective in preventing incidents but also recognized for its innovation and impact.

The High Price Businesses Pay for Lacking
De-Escalation Training
Without crisis management and de-escalation training, businesses risk incurring costs from negative customer experiences, escalated conflicts, and potential legal repercussions.
Customer complaints or negative online reviews can harm a business's reputation and deter future customers. Escalated conflicts can lead to physical harm or property damage, resulting in liability and legal fees.
Additionally, employees may suffer mental health issues from dealing with the aftermath of an incident without proper training, leading to absenteeism and decreased productivity.
Overall, the cost of not having de-escalation training can be significant, both financially and in terms of overall business performance.

HOUSE OF WORSHIP SECURITY CONSULTING
Houses of Worship including, Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, and Temples are places of faith, religion, ideology, and emotions. It is a place where most individuals feel safe and supported by their community while sharing common views and morals. In recent years, there has been an unprecedented increase of religion-based Hate Crimes in the U.S. Active-Shooter and Knife yielding attacks are no longer strange to the world, and security must be at the best interest of every House of Worship.
Every religious institution is different in size and design. Some places of worship may be a single building with a few attendees. Other places may contain multiple buildings and entrances with thousands attending services and events every day from morning to night with activities for all ages. The design and purpose may be as different as the theology and philosophy taught inside.
​
Therefore, a Houses of Worship Security and Threat Management program must be uniquely designed for your facility, placing equal priorities on the safety of people, programs, property, and preparedness for emergencies. The level of security will often be determined by financial and personnel resources; yet it is imperative that you do something to protect those who worship with you.
