Homeland Security and Risk / Threat Assessment

When the smoke was rising from the Twin Towers, still standing in lower Manhattan, many police departments began mobilizing its police officers to respond to what was the worst attack on American soil in generations. But how many of these departments were actually prepared to respond to such a disaster; and how many of them were prepared to provide security and safety to its own citizens in the aftermath?

The commission investigating the 9/11 terrorist attacks found that workers in the private-sector and first responders were unprepared for a catastrophic terrorist attack. The commission underscored the importance of private–sector preparedness. Since 85 percent of the nation’s “critical infrastructure” is controlled by private businesses, it is important that homeland security and preparedness begin with the private sector.

With the current threat of terrorism, it is that more important that municipalities, schools, and private-sector businesses be prepared. To successfully deal with an emergency situation they must ensure that their existing security plans are effective and that their contingency plans are up-to-date.

PMC International will assist you in maximizing your investment by providing expert guidance on critical issues to mitigate security threats to your business operations. We provide you with a comprehensive and cost effective security and threat audit in any of the following areas:

v Personnel Security

We will determine who, other than your own employees, has access to facilities and ensure that those persons are fully identified and cleared. We will make recommendations on manners of limiting and controlling the access of such individuals to your facilities and/or employees. We will examine peripheral security to your facility to ensure mechanisms are in place to ensure employee safety when entering or departing a facility.

v Liaison to Law Enforcement and Emergency Services

If an event occurs which impacts your company, we can serve as liaison with law enforcement and emergency services to ensure your company is kept informed of actions which will have continuing impact on your operation.

v Bomb Threat

Lost production hours and injuries resulting from unorganized evacuations are just some of the problems that can accompany a bomb threat. Our Bomb Technicians can train your personnel in screening of packages and vehicles and establish response plans to bomb threats and suspect packages. Additionally, we will conduct site surveys and recommend systems and training to minimize the potential for becoming a victim of an actual bombing.

v Workplace Violence

We have a program to address workplace violence and "de-escalate" potentially injurious situations. We work with your staff on site to identify personnel and assign specific roles, as well as to isolate the threat and allow evacuation of as many personnel as possible. Our staff includes personnel experienced in hostage negotiations.

v Threat Assessment

We will assess the threat level to your business based upon a variety of factors including the area in which your company operates, geographic location of facilities, hardness of facilities, and public awareness. The potential for being a target of any terrorist group, religious or political, will be clearly articulated along with recommendations for actions to take to minimize risk.

v Terrorism Threat

Our terrorism experts will conduct site assessments and recommend preventive systems and mechanisms to minimize the threat of terrorist attack or infiltration.

v Facility Security

Where your facilities are located can be critical. Are you in a skyscraper? Do you share space with other companies or Government agencies that could be targets? Are you in a remote, rural location? These differences represent challenges in both protecting your assets and continuing business should you be displaced. We will assess your facility to determine vulnerability of power, telecommunications, air and water supply, presence and/or storage of potentially dangerous or toxic substances and make necessary recommendations according to our findings. We will examine your facility access control for employees, visitors, sub-contractors and delivery personnel and recommend mechanisms and systems to ensure security is maintained. We will examine vehicular access to your facility and recommend mechanisms and architectural alternatives to harden the facility and minimize risk.

We offer confidential residential security surveys to a variety of clientele, including: CEO’s, business executives, celebrities, sports figures, government officials, etc.
