Investigative Consultation

Focus your Investigation
and Understand the Context
of the Concerning Behavior

Our experts enhance your internal capabilities to guide the investigation, and assess the person’s behavior, motivation, and intent to help you understand and contextualize the concerning behavior.

The investigative process is complex and presents numerous challenges.

We partner with you to navigate the investigation in an effective and efficient manner, acting quickly to prevent acts of harm and maximize your resources. We leverage psychological models and theories to help you:

  • Identify leads for collection and assess the information’s validity and relevance
  • Assist with interview preparation: generate questions and prioritize interviews 
  • Interpret behaviors, mental illnesses, and cultural elements
  • Assess the person’s motivation and intent 
  • Narrow subject pools to identify unknown persons of interest

 

If your organization does not have an internal investigative capability, we can provide investigators and guide their investigative plan.

Threat Assessment Investigations

Historically, investigations were conducted after an incident occurs; however, threat assessment investigations take place before an incident occurs. The Secret Service developed the model for these proactive investigations, which focuses on an individual’s pattern of thinking and behavior to determine if they are moving toward an attack. The threat assessment investigation explores these factors, including the circumstances of, patterns of, and specific triggers to the violent behavior.
