In conjunction with close protection and security driver services, Vigilance has
been used to directly support the visit of a major healthcare organization’s CEO
to Bangladesh. In this instance, information was automatically provided to the
analyst assigned to oversight the trip, who in turn forwarded information of
significance to the project manager, detail leader, and embedded executive
protection staff. The notification filters were set-up to provide alerts only of
events inside Bangladesh, and only over a specific number of days.
One client engaged the GRG to maintain all-source/all-hazard awareness and
early warning on organized labor issues, which could adversely impact their vital
operations. Vigilance spread a net over key phrases in news services, monitoring
social networking sites, blogs and specific individuals, receiving newsletters and
other updates on the labor entities involved. GRG delivered real-time awareness
to key risk managers, and provided useful analysis of the threat status.
In the recent case of the Mehserle trial verdict being important to planning and
operations of businesses in the Oakland, CA area, GRG was able to provide
background information, updates on court proceedings, verdict announcement,
and area transit impact to a short list of Securitas USA leadership, to promulgate
within their organization and to their key contacts. This type of information provision
is a capability of Pinkerton’s GRG, which can be leveraged as needed
to increase Securitas and Pinkerton operational awareness and influence.
The GRG has evolved the means of accessing documents, vital contact information
and real-time GPS asset locations, making them accessible on an as-needed
basis to provide yet another tool for Pinkerton and Securitas USA managers to
respond quickly and confidently to emerging situations.
