Deadly Weapons Protection

Prevention services​ 

• Post underwriting review: This is a remote post underwriting review in order to analyse and evaluate the security protocols of the client as well as to highlight any current exposures, threats and dangers. A risk analysis report of findings and general recommendations are provided to the client.
• Action plan webinar: This covers issues such as incident awareness, typical profiles of an assailant, how to respond to an incident, creating an emergency action plan, and raising awareness of key behaviours.
• Deadly Weapon Protection portal: Clients are given access to a portal containing useful information including case studies, thought leadership articles, assistance with creating security and active shooter plans, test exercises, copies of all previous webinars and an ask the expert feature. 

Crisis management services​ 

The support falls into four categories, but not limited to:

• Investigation on behalf of the client to determine the facts of the event to help inform the client’s response.
• Advice and support with the management of the situation. For example, counselling and communication strategies.
• When required post an event, the provision of temporary security enhancement such as armed or unarmed agents.
