Security Administration and Management
At JD Security Consultants, we assist you in identifying, organizing,
staffing, and training security forces, guiding you through planning,
direction, control, implementation, and budgeting for a successful
security operation.
Security Assessments
What are your risks and vulnerabilities? You may think you have identified them all...until you receive the results from a comprehensive assessment of your security program. We provide:
- Crime Risk Analysis
- Foreseeability Studies
- Security Surveys
- Threat Identifications
- Vulnerability Assessments
Security Awareness and Education
One of the most critical components for a strong security program is to ensure that your staff, workforce, tenants, even customers are educated and aware of potential risks and protection measures. JD Security Consultants provide training programs customized to your organization's physical and intangible risks.
Crime Prevention
An ounce of prevention...Our team will show you exactly how you
can decrease the risk of crime in and around your organization through
technology, analyses, training, and more. The price of prevention
is far less than those of litigation, loss of property, even loss
of life...
Emergency Response and Crisis Management
Developing these critical plans (prevention/mitigation, preparedness,
response, and recovery)
before you need to put them into
action is one of the best investments you can make for your business
and your people. JD Security Consultants will identify potential
risks, and then help you outline your response procedures, and implement
your emergency recovery plans, getting your team positioned for
fast action should a situation arise. This is one you should not
bury in the bottom of the pile.
Expert Witness Testimony
Each security litigation case is distinctly different and involves
complex issues that may be difficult to interpret. In order to adequately
support your case, extensive research of information and documents
must be conducted. Also, technical issues such as access control,
CCTV, and security systems may be reviewed. These are time-consuming
activities that can be performed best by a security expert.
JD Security Consultants offers security professionals that are not
only Board Certified in Security Management and Physical Security,
but also have over 25 years experience in the law enforcement and
security field. We have worked on cases for a wide variety of clients,
including those involving college/university, hospital, and parking
lot security litigations.
We are qualified to provide you with:
The development of deposition questions for security experts, management, and security employees.
A review and analysis of reports, statements, and depositions.
The preparation of discovery documents.
Court testimony and documentation for depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and trials.
The creation of charts, graphs, photographs, and models to be used
as trial exhibits.
Comprehensive and detailed written reports with opinions and conclusions.
Security Lighting Surveys
Lighting is the most efficient and cost effective security feature available to deter crime and reduce the fear of crime. Many inadequate security lawsuits involving parking lots cite insufficient lighting as a major factor.
NEW SECURITY LIGHTING GUIDELINES FOR ILLUMINATION LEVELS HAVE BEEN
ESTABLISHED. In 2003, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North
America (IESNA) issued these security specific lighting guidelines.
JD Security Consultants will conduct a security lighting survey
to assist you in complying with these updated requirements.

Security Policies and Procedures
When was the last time you reviewed your security policies and procedures? A solid security program demands that you have updated, written policies that protect you and your constituencies. JD Security Consultants will review your policies and procedures and ask you the important questions you never thought to consider.
The Clery Act
(The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act) is the landmark federal law, originally known as the Campus Security Act, that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses and security policies.
HIPAA
We will help you protect yourself against violations, fines up to $250,000 and 10 years imprisonment, of the Privacy Law, HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act), administered by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) (within the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services) that investigates complaints about failures to protect the privacy of health information and medical records.
Workplace Violence
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), there were 564 workplace homicides in 2005 in the United States, out of a total of 5,702 fatal work injuries. The numbers are staggering and something no responsible business can ignore. Our professionals can help you implement strategies to make your workplace safer. The potential of violent crime in all work environments cannot be ignored.
Premises Security Liability
As Board Certified professionals, we will help you to assess the
real risks to your premises security and identify achievable security
measures before you face damaging litigation. We can also address
existing legal issues and determine litigation strategies, protecting
your organization, assets, and profits.
Security Force Management
JD Security Consultants will help you to develop and maintain a
cutting-edge security force, protecting your human, physical, and
other valued assets. Our professionals will assist you to develop
security guidelines and enforce security standards compliant with
recent state and federal legislation for security. We will even
show you techniques that enable you to leverage your security force
as a marketing tool, since they are often the front line professionals
who greet your constituents.
Your security staff, whether proprietary or contract, is key to a successful operation. The recruitment, selection, screening, training, equipping, supervision, and deployment are areas of vital importance. Adequately addressing these factors can affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization and lessen the possibility of negligence claims.
