Security Awareness and Education

One of the most critical components for a strong security program is to ensure that your staff, workforce, tenants, even customers are educated and aware of potential risks and protection measures. The Council can provide training programs customized to your organization’s physical and intangible risks.

Crime Prevention

Learn how you exactly how you can decrease the risk of crime in and around your organization through technology, analyses, training, and more. The price of prevention is far less than those of litigation, loss of property, or even loss of life.

Emergency Response and Crisis Management

Developing these critical plans (prevention/mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery) before you need to put them into action is one of the best investments you can make for your business and your people. Advisors from the International Trade Council are available to help you identify potential risks, and then help you outline your response procedures, and implement your emergency recovery plans, getting your team positioned for fast action should a situation arise.

Expert Witness Testimony

Each security litigation case is noticeably different and involves complex issues that may be difficult to interpret. In order to adequately support your case, extensive research of information and documents must be conducted. Technical issues such as access control, CCTV, and security systems may also be reviewed. These are time-consuming activities that can be performed best by a security expert like the ones at the International Trade Council.

The International Trade Council offers security professionals that have many years’ experience in the law enforcement and security field.

Expert testimony services include:

• The progress of deposition questions for security experts, management, as well as security employees.
• A review and analysis of reports, statements, and depositions.
• The research into discovery documents.
• Court testimony and documentation needed for depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and trials.
• The formation of charts, graphs, photographs, and models to be used as trial demonstrations.
• Comprehensive and thorough written reports with thoughts and conclusions.

Security Lighting Surveys

Lighting is the most efficient and cost effective security feature available to deter crime and reduce the fear of crime. Many inadequate security lawsuits involving parking lots cite insufficient lighting as a major factor.

Consultants are available to conduct a security survey to support you in complying with these updated requirements.

These services are available at a discount to members of the International Trade Council.

Security Force Management

Our professionals will assist you to create security guidelines and enforce security standards compliant with recent state and federal legislation for security. We will even show you techniques that empower you to leverage your security force as a marketing tool, since they are often the front line specialists who greet your employees.
