Threat Management Unit (T.M.U)

This service is the first step prior to developing a security plan and establishing a protective team. Research is done and a full assessment is made of any and all past, current, and future threats.

Our field agents and in-house T.M.U staff investigate and survey all information regarding threats against our clients.

This may include database inquiries, mail screening, background profiles, and tracking. GPI's staff Psychologist reviews all assessments and forwards findings to the Protective Services Director.

GPI investigates, reviews, assess, investigates and provides recommendations for the management and monitoring of specific safety concerns, including workplace violence, stalking, disgruntled consumers, employees, domestic violence, and corporate/media figure pursuit. We then provide documentation covering the factors we assessed, the results of our investigations, and then set forth our conclusions and recommendations.

Our reports evaluate and summarize the history of the case, present the result of our threat and mental health evaluation, and provide the information gathered during the investigation. We explore all the options available for managing the situation and set forth steps we feel should be taken, those we feel should not be taken, and the reasons why. GPI may also recommend direct monitoring and management in some cases.

We provide consultation, advice on safety and privacy, and support to high-stakes public figures, government agencies, media figures and corporations who face predictions of violence or physical harassment.

The Stalker

When a stalker is involved, the victim can be in physical danger. Close protection is frequently required.

Some stalkers remain 'covert' and may even try to get close to the victim surreptitiously. At some point the stalker may approach the victim. The "covert" nature of the stalking may be eliminated at this point.

It may be as late as this stage that the victim finally discovers the identity of the stalker, and this knowledge may represent a threat to the stalker. With the veil of anonymity removed, the stalker's behavior may become unpredictable.

A stalker's behavior can take many forms:

Watching the victim ("drive-by's" or "peeping toms")
Following the victim
Approaching the victim in a public place
Direct confrontation in a public place
Contact - a violent criminal act, such as physical or sexual assault

GPI is experienced in handling stalker cases. The sophistication of our detection and protection extends way beyond a mere "bodyguard" to offer you the best peace of mind possible.
