Some companies claiming to specialize in Workplace Violence and Corporate security are merely in the business of selling products. They will visit your worksite and give you a site assessment that will predictably advise you that you need 50 of whatever product they sell, etc. Apex will tell you what you actually need. Apex’s ethos is to help you choose the most effective, efficient, and economically practical physical security and threat mitigations. We know what will work because we have extensively researched workplace violence and shootings to identify the patterns of security exploits used by attackers. Few others have.
