INVESTIGATING CURRENT ACTIVITIES WITH THE HELP OF IQM SPECIALISTS

Responding To These Incidents With The Help Of IQM Specialists

Dishonesty Security Failures Drug Abuse Harassment Violent Behavior Intrusion Sabotage Extortion

Our Response Program Completes The Full Cycle

A successful CRIME - FREE WORKPLACE has programs that begin with prevention and focus on designing defensible space and appropriate continuing observation of personal behavior in the secure environment. Even the best of those organizations have occasional event. Unfortunately, we often meet new clients on the wrong swing of the pendulum and we have to start with the development of a formal security policy, a system of personnel evaluation, and a method of procedural enforcement. Policy is redefined by correcting breaches of company expectations. Our investigations define the cause of the event with recommendations for correction. Examples of causative factors are:

Current phsychological problem on the part of a staff or family member
Criminal behavior by staff or intruders into your secure environment
Illegal use or possession of drugs or alchohol on or around the facility
Corruption on the part of supervisors and managers
Untrustworthyness on the part of employees, contractors or venders
Inappropriate behavior by staff or customers impacting the organization.

Objective of Response

Document related physical and objective evidence to guide management action
Conduct structure interviews and interrogations to record subjective evidence
Administer polygraph examinations to verify the truth
Coordinate the use of outside experts to analyze or collect specialized evidence.

These undesirable incidents may be commited by managers, employees, venders, contractors, and even customers. A prompt and effective response to such events or allegations is appropriate. The purpose of the response is documentation and resolution. It involves the documentation of some specific identifiable happening for the purposes of gathering evidence that will lead to the solution or resolution of that event. Often there are two purposes of gathering evidence that will lead to the solution or resolution of that event. Often there are two opposing parties identified in an event. Allegations of sexual harrassment serve as an example. Management is best served by a straight forward and independent response to the happening. IQM can assist in this response by making telephonic recommendations to registered clients and following up with onsite participation in a consultative role as a part of the management team.
