WORKPLACE VIOLENCE SCOUT REPORTS
SCOUT Life safety
Individuals, Workplace Violence, Targeted Threats, Internet Exposure, Tripwire Monitoring
SCOUT Life Safety investigations are designed to evaluate the threat of violence and gather information about a subject of interest (SOI) through conducting due diligence and open-source information research. Life Safety reports can help you gain valuable insights into the credibility, qualifications, and potential risks or other red flags associated with specific individuals and assess the likelihood of violence.
SCOUT Snapshot
Preliminary Workplace Violence Assessment, Subject Background Check, Threat Potential Quick Review
When a rapid yet thorough preliminary assessment is needed to gauge the potential threat of workplace violence (WPV), SCOUT Snapshot is the go-to resource. This concise report focuses on individuals who may be involved in or pose a threat of WPV, providing a snapshot of their background over the last 24 months. It includes court and administrative records and identifies the subject’s social media footprint. While offering a swift overview, the SCOUT Snapshot can be expanded into a more detailed SCOUT Life Safety report if initial findings warrant further investigation.
It’s an essential tool for organizations that require an immediate understanding of a subject’s recent history and current social media activities to make quick, informed decisions regarding security and safety concerns.
SCOUT Threat report
Behavioral Risk Analysis, Workplace Violence Prevention, Threat Pattern Identification
SCOUT Threat Report serves as a crucial first step in the behavioral analysis of a subject who might be involved in workplace violence or could pose a threat. Gathering information from the previous 24 months, this report examines court and administrative records and the subject’s social media presence. Pinkerton’s Threat Management Group carefully reviews the findings to identify any behavioral trends that may indicate a pathway to violence. This preliminary behavioral analysis can seamlessly evolve into a comprehensive SCOUT Life Safety report for a full assessment.
