During our specialized SRA, we focus on the following vital components:
-
Emergency Action Plans Review
Being prepared for the unexpected is crucial for safeguarding anyone within your space. We'll conduct a thorough review of your existing Emergency Action Plans (EAPs), or help you begin developing them, for a range of critical scenarios. This includes:
Natural Disasters: Are your plans robust for events like fires, floods, or severe weather specific to your location?
Active Threat/Crisis: Do you have clear, practiced protocols for responding to a violent intruder or an unfolding crisis?
Specific Threats: Are you prepared for unique threats relevant to your environment, such as theft, medical emergencies, or workplace incidents?
Lockdown/Shelter-in-Place Procedures: Are your protocols for securing your location effective and easily implementable by all occupants?
We'll provide feedback on their completeness, clarity, and effectiveness, offering suggestions for improvement and ensuring they align with best practices.
-
Security System Evaluation and Consultation
Your security technology should be a proactive asset, not just a reactive measure. We'll perform an in-depth evaluation of your existing security systems, including:
Surveillance Cameras (CCTV): Are your cameras strategically placed? Is the footage clear, accessible, and regularly reviewed?
Access Control Systems: Are your entry points, restricted areas, and sensitive zones properly secured? Do you have robust procedures for managing keys, fobs, or entry codes?
Alarm Systems: Is your alarm system reliable, monitored, and regularly tested?
Communication Systems: Do you have effective ways to communicate critical information rapidly to employees, customers, family members, and emergency responders during an incident?
Our consultation will identify gaps and suggest practical upgrades or reconfigurations that maximize the effectiveness of your technology within your budget.
-
Team/Occupant Evaluation and Consultation
Even the best technology and plans are only as good as the people operating them or relying on them. We'll evaluate your current team's or occupants' understanding of security protocols and their operational readiness. This includes:
Reviewing roles and responsibilities related to security and emergency response.
Assessing current awareness levels in areas like first aid, de-escalation, and threat recognition.
Providing consultation on optimizing internal communication and coordination during an emergency.
Whether it's your dedicated staff, a group of key personnel, or family members, we'll help you enhance their capabilities and cohesion.
-
Planning and Preparation with Gear and Skills
Preparation goes beyond plans—it includes having the right tools and the skills to use them. We'll assess your current gear and equipment readiness, such as:
First aid kits and AEDs: Are they readily available, stocked, and do people know how to use them?
Communication devices: Are radios, emergency phones, or other essential tools in place and functional?
Emergency supplies: Do you have a cache of supplies for extended lockdowns, power outages, or sheltering?
Beyond physical gear, we'll consult on the skills development necessary for your team or household members to effectively utilize these tools and implement your emergency plans.
-
Policy and Procedure Review/Revision
Clear, concise, and current policies and procedures are the backbone of effective security. We'll conduct a thorough review of your existing security-related policies and procedures, including those governing:
Visitor management and access protocols.
Incident reporting and response.
Workplace safety rules.
Opening and closing procedures.
We'll identify any outdated, unclear, or missing policies and provide recommendations for revisions or new policy development to ensure they align with best practices and your enhanced security goals.
