What services are you interested in?*

Kidnap for Ransom and Extortion (KRE) and its non-traditional variants, such as express kidnapping and virtual kidnapping, have become an established threat in many areas of the world. Crisis24 is highly specialized in KRE issues, mitigation and resolution. We provide expert advice, support, and response to help protect your people, their families, and your organization before, during, and after kidnapping threats and incidents. 

A Continuously Evolving Threat

Kidnap for Ransom and Extortion is a significant concern in various parts of the world and is continually evolving. KRE hotspots can be attributed to political and economic instability, corruption, weak law enforcement, and a lack of a central authority or state control. The personnel of organizations based and operating in affected regions may be vulnerable to these criminal acts.

We estimate that there are around 20,000 to 35,000 kidnappings for ransom annually.
