The Art of Investigations in Private Security

The Art of Investigations in Private Security

Investigations require a special skill set. A good investigator must not only be a detail-oriented individual with exceptional observation skills but creative in their mindset towards their approach to an investigation. Each investigation is unique in its own right rendering a custom approach to each case required. An investigation can consist of a pre-employment background check, special due diligence perhaps for a merger or acquisition in a business transaction, interviews in a theft situation, physical surveillance of an individual(s) for purposes of documenting suspected activities, and the list runs on.

A quality investigation will have hallmarks that consist of the following attributes:

  1. Commitment from Senior Level Management
  2. Allocation of Resources
  3. Compliance with the Law
  4. Extensive Documentation
  5. Post-Investigation Follow Up

Premier Risk Solutions Talks Active Shootings on NBC

Premier Risk Solutions Talks Active Shootings on NBC

This weekend shots erupted inside Southcenter Mall, just outside of Seattle, Washington. Shoppers were sheltered in place as police searched for the shooter. The details surrounding this shooting are not known, other than two people were injured. This prompted Seattle’s NBC station, KING 5, to interview PRS consultant, Bill Cooper, about active shooing scenarios. What do you do if you find yourself in a situation like this?

Cooper recently discussed this in our weekly series, “Strong, Safe & True.” Perhaps the most alarming thing, is Cooper expects the U.S. to continue to see more active shootings as COVID-19 restrictions loosen and crowds start to gather again. The targets tend to be places where there is an opportunity for a large number of victims.

There are things that Cooper believes everyone can do to stay safe. He explains in the interview. Continue to visit our website for more blogs and educational information.

What Tourism Will Look Like in Europe on Security Front

What Tourism Will Look Like in Europe on Security Front

It looks like some Americans will have the chance to take a vacation to Europe this summer, but what does that really look like? There are some concerns from security experts, as they will try to keep both their own citizens safe, as well as tourists.

In this week’s edition of our video series, “Strong, Safe & True” we sat down with Stuart Nash, owner of Alchemy Global, a security company in the U.K.. Nash says tourist sites won’t quite look the same this summer. There won’t be as much milling around. Tourists will need to expect to plan everything well in advance and continue to be aware of the space around them. It will most likely be groups at certain times allowed at famous sites and there will be security in most places to help enforce the rules.

Nash added, that if all restrictions aren’t lifted, not all venues will be open. For some businesses, it makes sense to stay closed with no operating costs and government subsidies than to open at partial capacity.

We specifically talked about how security will look this summer as well, hear what Nash had to say. Remember to keep checking our blog section of our website as we will continue to post new videos.

Inside the Mind of an Active Shooter

Inside the Mind of an Active Shooter

We continue to see the number of mass shootings rise in our country. The latest shooting that targeted innocent people in a public place was a grocery store in Long Island, NY just days ago. At one point, most of us have wondered, “What would make someone do that?”. In this edition of our video series, “Strong, Safe & True,” we sit down with Dr. Gregory Jantz to try to answer that question.

Dr. Jantz is known for his work with mental health and specifically for addressing active shooter scenarios on various news networks. He tells us what kind of profile a shooter usually fits, how they pick their victims and how to look for warning signs before it happens. Jantz, like others, believes we will most likely see more mass shootings in the months to come. Hear what he has to say in the video.

Will We See An Increase in Domestic Terrorism?

In this week’s edition of our video series, “Strong, Safe & True,” we sit down with Retired Police Chief and Commander Bill Cooper to discuss domestic terrorism. In the past month, we’ve seen mass shootings in Georgia, Colorado, California, Washington D.C…..and Cooper expects the number of shootings to increase as pandemic restrictions go away.

Fewer restrictions mean more mass gatherings and that presents targets for domestic terrorists.  Cooper says there are several things at play and to consider. There are more militias, and they are better organized and prone to inciting violence. In addition, the tense political situation is having an effect. Watch the video on this page for Cooper’s advice on what to look for and how to not fall victim.
