K Calder & Associates
K Calder & Associates is a fully licensed and insured security and threat management consulting practice. We provide practical threat management solutions and services to private and public sector organizations and individuals.
Faced with a threat, two common reactions emerge:
- Under-react: "Bob's just like that. Calm down. Ignore him. Once he gets fired, the problem will be solved."
- Over-react or mis-react: "There's an armed guard by the front door and new lexan windows, just in case Bob comes by again."
Both reactions can be dangerous. How do you know if a person is a "howler" (makes noise but is not dangerous) or a "hunter" (requiring an immediate and specific response)? A trained threat assessment professional will help you:
- Manage risk and practice due diligence
- Focus resources exactly where they are needed
We do:
- Customized consulting
- Threat assessment training programs
- Threat/risk assessments
- Security planning for organizations (private and public)
Empty threats... or early warning?
An act of significant workplace violence is rarely a spontaneous incident. Often there are identifiable behaviours of concern, or indicators, which show that a person is moving toward an act of violence. We can help you evaluate and manage the risk. Contact us today if you are concerned.
