Today’s workplace is threatened by many external factors – among them threats of, and occasionally, acts of violence by displaced employees. Recently an HVAC supply company found itself faced with an unprecedented situation when a former employee threatened the safety of one of its warehouses and the employees working there.
At the start of a busy holiday weekend, an urgent call for protective assistance was placed to an affiliate company which routed it promptly to Crisis24. Our Private Strategic Group team delivered a solution to the client in just two hours.
Within 24 hours of the notice to proceed, Crisis24 had an armed security professional on the ground meeting with the warehouse management team to agree on a course of action. Surveillance of the facility determined that adequate protection would require additional team members. Relying on our vast network of protectors, Crisis24 secured the certified and licensed security professionals required.
The Crisis24 team remained on site for an additional two weeks after a second threat was made, rotating as necessary to ensure the safety of employees and the continuity of business.
Proactive planning is key to mitigating risk, but unforeseen situations can arise and escalate quickly. When moving from planning to execution swiftly is essential, Crisis24 can deliver. Learn more about Private Strategic Group and crisis response services available from Crisis24.
