Find the right security consultant

What to write

Plain language works best. You do not need any security terms. A few examples:

• “We are a private school in Georgia and our board wants an outside review of our safety plans before next fall.”
• “An employee was let go and has been sending threatening messages to staff. We are in Illinois.”
• “I am an attorney with a negligent security case involving an apartment complex parking lot in Florida.”
• “Our clinic has had several incidents with aggressive visitors in the waiting room.”
• “Our CEO is starting to get unwanted attention online and travels often.”

Please do not include names, addresses or other private details. A general description is enough to point you in the right direction.
