activities.

focus for the business community. The process of managing
threats, violence and disasters is extremely complex, high-
risk and difficult. These events also incur a significant

BioData
Application Form
It
is far more efficient to keep a problem employee out of the
workplace than It is to hire him/her and then try and deal
with ensuing risk issues. GEOS IMG Solutions has developed a
Bio-Data Application Form© based on the
organizational behavioral delinquency literature, to help
select the best applicant.
Forensic
Risk Assessment
GEOS
IMG Solutions has pioneered the utilization of sophisticated
risk assessment instruments such as the Behavioral Risk
Assessment Protocol (BRASP©). When an
organization is being threatened by known (or unknown)
individuals or groups, the BRASP supports the gathering of
information in a logical and coherent fashion. The
Information is sifted through a decision matrix that
suggests appropriate responses to protect personnel and
assets.
We
have developed a model of risk assessment based on
forensic/actuarial data. That is, we don’t
"guess" if a situation is likely to be
dangerous. This Risk Assessment Model permeates all of our
programs. Since the guesswork is taken out of critical
decisions, the development of a "crisis within a
crisis" is avoided. GEOS IMG Solutions has one of the
largest databases in the world on people who have threatened
to kill in the workplace and who have been evaluated by
Board Certified Forensic Psychologists.
Litigation
Support
IMG’s
staff and associates have been recognized by State and
Federal jurisdictions as subject matter experts in literally
thousands of cases. GEOS IMG Solutions’ most common
litigation support activity is post-incident expert witness
testimony for clients subsequent to a catastrophic
workplace event. Thankfully, these services are not
routinely required, but IMG’s forensic psychologist and
his associates have given evidence in support of many
clients regarding wrongful termination suits, etc.
GEOS
IMG Solutions has developed comprehensive checklists,
assessment tools and programs geared to meeting expectations
of safety In public places. These programs have been
developed largely from GEOS IMG Solutions overall knowledge
of viable protective practices - utilizing personnel and
systems - and our intimate involvement as expert witnesses
in numerous homicide and assault cases that occurred
in public places.
