In today's dynamic business environment, businesses are susceptible to internal and external threats. Given the tragic recent events of September 11, 2001, security is more important than ever. Security & Loss Prevention are no longer a line item expense. Employees now expect a company to protect them from harm. Without an effective prevention program, your business will experience recurring losses to crime, financial trauma, employee turnover, lower productivity and liability exposure.
Fortunately, vulnerabilities can be identified by our Professional Security Consultants. Diogenes LLC provides Risk Management services and cost-effective solutions to minimize threats. Our services include:
Crime/Risk Analysis - Before security or crime prevention measures can be implemented, the nature of the property's crime must be understood. To define the problem, we conduct a Crime Risk Analysis which determines the property's overall crime risk by analyzing each crime's frequency, temporal characteristics (time and day), and spatial attributes.
Quality Control - Diogenes LLC provides both overt and undercover quality control inspection services to security service providers and their clients. Our experienced QC Inspectors visit each site and review the state of guard operations. Quality Control reports are sent to you weekly or monthly and may be tailored to meet your specific needs.
Risk Assessment - Diogenes LLC evaluates existing Risk Management Programs to ensure that management is operating within a cost-effective budget and maintaining an adequate protection level for company assets. We identify your program's strengths and weaknesses, help you understand the risks, and provide you with the information needed to make decisions on managing those risks.
Security Program Design - Diogenes LLC develops proven security programs which reduce these risks in a cost effective manner with minimal effect on productivity and employee morale. These programs are designed to directly support the goals of key company functions including operations, internal audit, and human resources. Diogenes LLC will help you manage your security resources and allow you more time to manage your business. Three components of our Security Program Design are:
• Policy & Procedure Development and Evaluation - Since policies and procedures are the least expensive security measure, we begin our design/evaluation analysis at this stage and work to maximize effectiveness and streamline security operations to enhance the overall program and bolster physical security measures and personnel responsibilities.
• Physical Security Surveys/Audits - Choosing the appropriate physical security measure (CCTV, access control, lighting, key control, policy & procedure) is paramount to an effective program. Once the nature of the problem on a given property is known, we select the correct tool to reduce the threat and evaluate it's effectiveness.
• Security Personnel Selection, Evaluation, Monitoring - The critical decision to place a human element on the property is carefully evaluated based on the property's actual needs, industry standard, and local standards. Once this decision has been made, we personally interview candidate companies to ensure high quality service and an appropriate contract price. Once the security officers are in place, Diogenes LLC independently audits the company's performance and makes contract renewal recommendations. Individual security officers undergo bi-annual Performance Evaluations.
Liability Analysis - Our consultants evaluate your company's security program with an eye toward reducing liability exposure from claims of negligent or inadequate security. This analysis is State-specific as it is based tort laws and court rulings. A detailed review of foreseeability of a crime occurring on the property based on a statistical analysis of property and neighborhood crime data. Reasonable cost-effective security measures are developed to reduce the opportunity for crime and the protection of employees, visitors and guests.
Personal Protection/Workplace Violence Training - All Diogenes LLC instructors are certified in their respective specialties. We are available to train management and employees in crime prevention and security. Courses include executive protection, preventing crime, and proper security procedures. We can provide specific training to meet your company's needs. Contact us for information meeting dates or for more information on private classes.
Litigation/Expert Witness Support - Premises security litigation is one of the fastest growing types of personal injury lawsuits. A recent study suggests that verdicts in favor of the Plaintiff in premises security cases range from $1 million to $2.1 million, while the average settlement amount is more than $500,000. Premises security lawsuits are being filed against every conceivable type of business establishment. Given these facts, property owners and managers should recognize their liability exposure. Beyond the inherent premises security defense provided by a Crime Analysis Report, you will be able to demonstrate to a jury that the risk of victimization at each property was reviewed and considered in making crime prevention decisions. We are available to assist you should a lawsuit arise. As expert witnesses, we will provide you with case preparation, on-site security surveys, risk assessments, and testimony as required.
