Premises Liability:  We have significant experience in the area of premises liability security cases.  Foreseeability plays a major role as it relates to the safety of your employees, customers and guests.  A crystal ball is not required as one might think as crime analysis is both art and science.  Knowing how to analyze that foreseeability from incidents both in and around an area is crucial in premises cases.   Experience in apartments and condos, parking lots, shopping centers, and convenience stores.  We can map crime for any address within the city limits of Houston.

Criminal events  involving workplace violence.

As part of our initial investigation of property related incidents, we recommend CAP Index to determine foreseeability and statistical comparability to the County, State, and US.  Pulling the FBI's Uniform Crime Report or reading through calls for service from the local police department is mind numbing.  The CAP Index compares the propensity for criminal activity of the target area to relative benchmarks.  I can review this concise report in a very short time to assist you in your case.  You will find few consultants who use this easy to read report
