  • Personal Security & Anti-Kidnap (VIP protection)

In the wake of the murder of Brian Thompson in December 2024 in New York, there has been greater scrutiny regarding high profile employees of companies. Personal security planning and awareness should not only be considered for high profile targets, but also for people that are working in potentially hostile locations. There is a fine line between proportionate mitigation, and an overly intrusive approach, especially in someone’s own home. At Hawkshaw we are used to such issues and believe discretion is the key to effective arrangements.

Areas that will be covered include, but not limited to:

  • Awareness and perception training
  • What companies should consider prior to sending someone to a hostile location
  • Personal home assessments of high-profile employees
  • Anti-kidnap methodologies
  • Corporate response to kidnap, extortion, blackmail

Please get in contact to discuss any of these matters further.
