We work closely with you to develop a customized program to deal with workplace violence incidents and the disruption to your business. 

Personal Protection

International commerce is a fact of modern business life.  To operate successfully in this dynamic economic climate, companies have to send or relocate senior executives and other employees abroad.  This leaves these individuals vulnerable to threats of assault, armed robbery, car jacking, and kidnapping.  The opportunities in the global marketplace are real but so are the risks.   If your organization is engaged in business or maintains employees overseas, you should partner with a security organization that is informed and prepared to meet threatening situations. The Wackenhut Corporation provides advice, support and protection for key executives and other employees who travel or relocate to foreign countries and face potential threats to their safety and security.  Qualified protection specialists and professional drivers are assigned to limit exposure to dangerous or unpleasant situations.
