Workplace Violence

What Is Workplace Violence and Why Is It a Concern?

Workplace violence is any act of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the worksite. This can range from verbal abuse and bullying to physical altercations or even active shooter incidents.

In any professional environment, the safety of employees, visitors, and property is paramount. Workplace violence not only jeopardizes the health and well-being of individuals but can also result in significant financial losses, legal liabilities, and a damaged reputation for your business.

Our Workplace Violence Security Services are designed to help you proactively prevent, manage, and respond to violent or threatening situations in the workplace. We provide tailored solutions to mitigate risks, ensure the safety of your workforce, and create a secure environment where employees can focus on their work without fear.

Risk Assessment & Safety Planning: We begin by conducting a thorough security risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities within your workplace. Based on the findings, we develop a tailored safety plan to address potential threats and improve overall security procedures. Our plans focus on minimizing the risk of violent incidents and ensuring a safe and productive environment for your employees.

Workplace Violence Awareness Training: Prevention is key when it comes to workplace violence. We offer customized training for your employees and management team on how to recognize early warning signs of aggression or violence, de-escalation techniques, and proper procedures for reporting and responding to threats.

Our training includes but is not limited to the following:

Identifying behaviors that may indicate potential violence
Conflict resolution and de-escalation strategies.
Reporting and documenting incidents.
Personal safety measures and emergency protocols

On-Site Security Personnel: Our experienced security officers can be deployed on-site to provide immediate presence and deterrence. Their role includes:

Monitoring Entrances and Exits.
Acting as a visible deterrent to potential aggressors.
Responding to any signs of escalating violence.
Coordinating with law enforcement if necessary.

Security personnel can be placed at key locations within the workplace, including high-traffic areas, entrances, or near areas of higher risk (e.g., offices, warehouses, parking lots).

Incident Response and Crisis Management: In the event of a violent incident or threat, our trained officers are equipped to respond immediately, ensuring the safety of all personnel. We provide on-the-spot intervention, secure the premises, and manage the crisis until law enforcement or emergency services arrive. Our team is also prepared to assist with post-incident documentation and provide a detailed report for any legal or insurance purposes.

Surveillance & Monitoring Systems: We can install and monitor security cameras and access control systems to help detect and deter violence before it escalates. Surveillance systems allow for continuous monitoring of all areas of your facility, with real-time alerts in case of suspicious behavior. Additionally, integrating access control can limit access to restricted areas, ensuring that only authorized personnel are allowed entry.

Emergency Protocol Development: We work with you to develop and implement clear emergency protocols tailored to your business. This includes evacuation plans, shelter-in-place procedures, and guidelines for responding to different levels of workplace violence, such as:

Verbal threats or harassment.
Physical confrontations.
Active shooter situations.
