Security Law & Methods

Security Law combines security methods and legal principles.  Due to the wide range of exposures created by crime and misconduct, it is often difficult to balance legal requirements and security methods.  For example, do you grapple with these issues?

• How do you reconcile workplace searches and privacy policies?
• When is your firm liable for crime and misconduct?
• What legal standards apply to violent acts, such as terrorism and workplace violence?
• If your security personnel use force or make an arrest, what liability exposures are raised?

• What contractual and operational provisions can minimize liability exposures?

These questions, and others, related to crime and security are critical to effective risk management.

While some attorneys are versed on such issues, most do not have expertise in security matters to provide appropriate counsel.  This is a key focus of our business. We understand both legal principles and security methods. Our expertise is illustrated in two groundbreaking books: Security Law and Methods, and The Privatization of Police in America. This knowledge is coupled with an intuitive security "sense,” derived from decades of police and security experience.  We approach this multi-disciplinary subject with a consistent theme: control crime and its attendant legal exposures.
