Recently, a senior US Secret Service official commented that the current threat environment is the highest they have ever seen. While this reality applies to federal protectees, this volatility undoubtedly carries into local government as well.
At TrueJam Insights LLC, one of our primary interests is bringing a higher level of safety and protection to individuals and groups that have not traditionally invested in or had to consider their personal protection. Backed by over four decades of public safety leadership, we understand the profound weight of these realities.
Learning from the Past to Protect the Future
Throughout my career in Ohio Law Enforcement, I watched school safety receive serious attention after the tragic murders at Columbine High School. Subsequent incidents at Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook Elementary School highlighted severe vulnerabilities across higher education and elementary levels. These significant historical events heavily influenced the actions I have taken over my career to make school environments safer.
While state, local, and federal resources have been extremely helpful in making public schools safer, there is a distinct gap for small and private schools that lack the same level of funding. We are uniquely positioned to assist these institutions with practical, reasonable, and comprehensive safety planning.
The Expanding Scope of Executive and Civic Risk
The need for proactive security extends deeply into the corporate and civic realms. The assassination of an insurance industry executive on the streets of New York City created an awakening in executive protection circles and the corporate world. Business leaders have become much more aware of the need to protect themselves not only in the office but in their daily lives.
Simultaneously, local government discourse has become nastier and more personal. These attacks are frequently directed at local leaders who volunteer to provide leadership for their community while receiving minimal compensation.
Furthermore, we recognize the unique vulnerabilities faced during election cycles; therefore, we provide strategic safety planning and protective advance work to assist local electoral campaigns that are not benefiting from state-wide assistance.
TrueJam Insights was established to bring the mindset and resources of high-functioning public safety to government entities, schools, businesses, and non-profits.
