Workplace violence mitigation

Similar to school shootings, workplace violence is a growing epidemic with sometimes fatal consequences. As is the case in many mass shootings, prior knowledge of the event is common.  Unfortunately, many view the mechanism of reporting as too harsh and then have extreme regrets retrospectively. 

Our expert team of Investigators, Psychologists, and Lawyers can assist your company in the identification and mitigation of workplace violence threats.

Dealing with the situation quickly and professionally reduces any potential workplace violence and civil liability for your company. Additionally, your employees will feel safer returning to work knowing that their company is addressing the situation.  

Secure your workplace against threats and minimize the risk of employee harassment by hiring our Los Angeles based attorney services. From surveillance investigation to background checks, we work around the clock to ensure our clients across Southern California are safe and sound. 

Most of the time, employers, human resources staff, supervisors and co-workers recognize the warning signs of an employee who is a potential threat to the safety of the office/job site.  Many times, unfortunately, these warning signs go unaddressed.  We at Blackbird Investigations can assist in identifying these potential risks and mitigate any issues.

Blackbird Investigations can assist in rapidly identifying these potential risks to mitigate any issues. Our investigators will conduct a thorough background of the employee to address prior criminal activity, current financial/marital issues, social media postings, and depending on the severity, interviewing and documenting statements of co-workers.

Utilizing our contracted Licensed Psychologist who specializes in workplace violence, we create a profile of the employee to assess the potential threat level to determine the next possible course of action.

Upon determination of the threat level, our Investigators can provide security during the termination process.  In cases where the employee has already been terminated, we can conduct a Post Termination Assessment and provide surveillance of the subject to ensure a volatile situation does not occur.

While most larger firms have In-house Counsel, those attorneys are typically unfamiliar with the restraining order process.  If the need arises, Blackbird Investigations can provide attorneys who specialize in this area of the law.  Additionally, we can serve the Restraining Order on the employee to further emphasize the gravity and seriousness with which this potential threat is being addressed.

Blackbird Investigations offers corporate training for employees to help recognize and report potential issues, tactics and response to workplace violence, as well as a review of current security of your job site.  We work collaboratively with Management, HR and In-house Counsel to ensure your company is a safe environment and assist in reducing the civil liability that many corporations are now facing.
