Alex Goldstein, CPP Security Consultant

I provide expert security and threat-risk assessments for local businesses, global enterprises and public-sector entities. I deliver observation-based recommendations for improvement of security ranked by criticality and cost-benefit factoring.

I review security, safety, and emergency programs in places of worship, regional municipalities, small and medium-sized companies, global and multi-facility enterprises, and remote outposts – I examine and fill critical gaps in technical documentation and policy, conduct close observation of daily security service delivery, bring in technical experts to introduce problem-specific solutions, and facilitate interviews on behalf of our clients with stakeholders – listening to all those needing to be heard.

I deliver the absolute best in modern security, public safety, and emergency management training. We design and deliver courses, teach a wide range of general and sector specific security management courses to the public, and set up corporate security training in-house, tailored to any company’s needs.
