Gangs/Drugs in the Workplace

The presence of gangs and drugs within the workplace is both an invisible and destructive force to a company. It is invisible because by their nature, most gang members and drug dealers (who are often one of the same) usually seek to prevent disclosure. Simply stated, in order to survive within the workplace, the gang member and the drug dealer must go "under the radar screen". They need to operate rather silently in order to maintain their job, and to supplement their income through the sale of illegal narcotics, and the commission of other crimes, such as thefts, robberies, and the like. In this sense, most companies do not know they have a problem, until it surfaces in a dramatic and destructive way, such as a workplace shooting or a drug overdose.

Our consultants have both the expertise and skills to help your company learn various identifiers of gang and drug activities. These identifiers typically are disguised as simple, everyday items, such as clothing colors, styles, attires, and logos. Further, language, hand signs, graffiti, and behaviors also may be identifiers of gang and drug activities. In order to fully appreciate the significance of these often subtle identifiers, we employ active police officers as consultants. Since the gang and drug culture is constantly evolving, partly due to societal trends and conditions, the need to have "current" intelligence is crucial to be able to properly and accurately identify such activity.

Once identified, we assist you to frame corporate policies and procedures, designed to foster a secure environment, while at the same time, being cognizant of competing principles, such as privacy and discrimination laws. This is a delicate balance for the individual untrained in the nuances of gang/drug activity, and not adequately trained and versed in legal frameworks, such as case law and legislation. Our consultants are sensitive to this balance. For example, Dr. James F. Pastor, is an attorney with substantial experience in public safety and employment law. He was also a former tactical police officer in the Gang Crime Enforcement Unit with the Chicago Police Department. His experiences in the gang unit coupled with his legal training and experience will provide concise and cogent advice on how best to resolve gang and drug activity within your company. The failure to deal with such activity can result in substantial damages and exposure.

Feel free to contact us to discuss how we can help resolve the threat of gangs and drugs at your company.
