Security and Workplace Violence Consultant

Days tend to involve threat assessments, policy reviews, training design, incident debriefs, and meetings with HR, security, and leadership about specific situations or program improvements. You might be reviewing a behavioral threat case Monday, training a manager group Tuesday, and consulting on a return-to-work plan Thursday. The work tends to live in case notes, assessment frameworks like WAVR-21, and confidential conversations with leadership teams.

The harder part is often the emotional and legal weight of the work. Cases involve real people, real risk, and real consequences for both potential victims and people being assessed. Discretion, documentation, and multidisciplinary judgment are non-negotiable. Variance across employers is real — large companies run dedicated threat management teams; smaller employers rely on the consultant to provide the program. Coordination with legal and HR is a daily ingredient.

People who tend to thrive here are emotionally steady, behaviorally observant, and comfortable with sensitive decisions that don't have clean answers. They tend to enjoy the mission of helping organizations protect their people thoughtfully. The trade-off can be the weight of cases that don't resolve cleanly — the work asks for resilience over time.
