Consultation regarding persons of concern or complex threat scenarios can help decision-makers more effectively gauge risk and formulate effective, defensible mitigation strategies. BSA connects clients with experienced and qualified subject matter experts review cases with management team members.
The consultation process typically includes an initial intake and screening call, a review of any documents or communications (including voice mail recordings, email, and other electronic communications), and a conference call between a BSA consultant and the client. While BSA can deploy experts to the client location to provide consultation, conduct interviews, coordinate contacts with mental health or law enforcement personnel, educate employees, participate in high-risk negotiations, discipline, or termination, or work with a violence management team, in the majority of cases, no travel is necessary. Telephonic and web-based meetings provide an economical and effective means of quickly determining the seriousness of the situation and initiating an appropriate organizational response.
