From all of us at The Falcon Consulting Group — thank you. 🇺🇸

Most workplace violence programs start too late.

Run-Hide-Fight training. Emergency notifications. Trauma kits. All valuable — all reactive.

Research shows 77% of attackers planned their actions over a week or more. The warning signs were visible. They just weren't seen — or weren't reported.
Prevention doesn't start with a policy document. It starts with leaders who know their people, supervisors who know what to escalate, and a system that connects the dots before it's too late.

That's what Falcon Consulting Group helps build.

If your people are running, hiding, or fighting, the prevention window has already closed.

Hospital shootings in the U.S. have risen from 6 to 34 per year since 2000 — an 8.4% annual increase over the last decade alone. That's not a trend. That's a crisis hiding in plain sight.

A new study in JAMA Network Open confirms what our team sees in the field: healthcare environments are increasingly high-risk, and most institutions aren't prepared for it.

A few numbers that should concern every hospital administrator and security director:

🔹 45.6% of incidents happened in parking lots and outdoor areas — perimeter vulnerabilities are being exploited

🔹 31.2% of victims were healthcare workers — your staff are on the front line

🔹 ~1 in 3 perpetrators were current or former patients

🔹 Nearly 30% of incidents could have been prevented with weapons screening

🔹 The AHA estimates the total cost of hospital violence at $18.27 billion in 2023

Researchers noted that even active shooter drills — meant to prepare staff — have been shown to be traumatizing. Preparation matters. How you prepare matters even more.

At Falcon Consulting Group, our team delivers customized workplace violence training programs built for the realities healthcare institutions face today.

We don't offer generic drills. We design threat assessments, response protocols, and staff training tailored to your facility, your patient population, and your risk profile.

If your institution hasn't conducted a formal workplace violence assessment recently, now is the time. Reach out for a confidential consultation.

According to a new study published in JAMA Network Open, the number of hospital-based shootings in the United States has increased steadily over the last 25 years, from six to 34 events per year. Although hospital shootings make up only a small portion of firearm violence, researchers say they can h...

Behind every workplace assault statistic is a person who went to work and didn't feel safe.

A new report from NCCI found that workplace assaults have risen 5.3% every year for the past decade. Women account for two-thirds of all assault victims. Younger workers in entry-level, high-contact roles face disproportionate risk. And in health care — where 74% of assaults are carried out by patients or those under a worker's care — the danger is built into the job description.

No one should have to accept violence as part of their workday.

At Falcon Consulting Group, we believe preparation is the most powerful form of protection. That's why we develop customized workplace violence training programs built around your organization — your people, your environment, your risks. Because a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work when every workplace is different.

When a threat occurs, the difference between chaos and control comes down to one thing: whether your team was prepared. We make sure they are.

Nonfatal workplace assaults climbed steadily from 2011 through 2022, driven overwhelmingly by violence in health care and social assistance settings, according to NCCI.

The attack on Sam Altman's home is a warning for every C-suite leader.

Twice in one weekend, the OpenAI CEO's San Francisco residence was targeted — an incendiary device, then a drive-by shooting. Investigators found the suspect carrying a list of names and home addresses of AI executives and board members. The FBI called it "planned, targeted, and extremely serious."

We've entered an era where public-facing executives are seen as symbols — and symbols become targets.

Security expert Kent Moyer said it plainly: "Executives are more vulnerable than ever." The challenge isn't just physical security at a single location — it's understanding that a motivated threat actor will do their homework. Addresses, routines, travel patterns — they're often just a Google search away.

At Falcon Consulting Group, we take a proactive approach to executive protection: identifying vulnerabilities before they're exploited, building layered security protocols, and training your team to respond when seconds matter.

If recent events have prompted you to reassess your organization's security posture, we're here to help.

The recent attack on OpenAI founder Sam Altman's house is a reminder that security risks can lie outside fortified corporate offices.

Large-scale, multi-city demonstrations like this weekend’s No Kings protests demand disciplined, professional security planning.

This is not a routine operating environment.

At The Falcon Consulting Group, we are actively monitoring developments across key metros. Several risk factors stand out:

- Decentralized coordination reduces predictability and complicates real-time response.
- High-visibility events create opportunity for fringe actors operating outside the stated intent of the protest.
- Counter-protest activity in select cities raises the likelihood of localized escalation.
- Law enforcement resources will be stretched, increasing reliance on private security for continuity and coverage.

Organizations that wait to react will be behind the curve.

A proactive posture is the only reliable way to maintain operational stability and protect people, assets, and leadership.

Falcon provides full-spectrum support before, during, and after events:
→ Threat and risk assessment
→ Executive and personal protection
→ Rapid response and on-call coordination
→ Workplace violence preparedness
→ Global risk monitoring

We are prioritizing expedited consultations for organizations operating in high-activity markets this week.

If your footprint intersects with these events, now is the time to act.

Organizers expect the March 28 'No Kings' protests to be the largest single day of protests in US history.

Healthcare workplace violence isn’t just a safety issue. It’s a legal risk for employers. Employers are obligated to provide a workplace free from foreseeable hazards, and violent incidents involving patients, families, or visitors can expose healthcare organizations to enforcement actions and lawsuits.

Healthcare workers in emergency, psychiatric, and home care settings face some of the highest rates of assault and threat exposure. Under federal law and in many states, employers must analyze risk factors, implement prevention strategies, and maintain systems for reporting and responding to incidents.

What proactive steps can help reduce risk?
• Conduct thorough risk assessments tailored to high-risk departments.
• Train staff in de-escalation and violence awareness.
• Enhance environmental safety measures like improved lighting, panic buttons, and controlled access.
• Build clear reporting protocols to document and address incidents.

At Falcon Consulting Group, we help healthcare organizations identify vulnerabilities, strengthen workplace safety programs, and ensure compliance with regulatory expectations before violence becomes a legal crisis.

Contact us today for a consultation to assess your workplace violence risk and build a resilient protection strategy.

Workplace violence continues to be a growing challenge affecting healthcare workers. To support workers and avoid fines and other enforcement actions, employers in the healthcare industry may wish to analyze risk factors and take proactive steps to maintain a workplace free from violence.

Executive risk is corporate risk.

A recent Business Insider report highlights a shift happening inside boardrooms. Executive security is no longer treated as a personal perk. It is now a governance priority. Companies are formalizing protection protocols, reassessing travel policies, and increasing physical and digital security for senior leadership.

The reason is simple. Threat exposure has changed. Visibility is higher. Polarization is sharper. Digital footprints are deeper. The modern executive carries enterprise-level risk.

At Falcon Consulting Group, we help organizations assess, design, and implement executive protection strategies that align with business objectives. Our work goes beyond bodyguards. We evaluate threat landscapes, review governance policies, strengthen travel security, harden digital exposure, and build proactive risk frameworks that boards can stand behind.

Executive protection should be structured, defensible, and integrated into enterprise risk management. Not reactive. Not improvised.

If your board has not revisited executive security in the past 12 months, now is the time.

Contact Falcon Consulting Group to schedule a confidential consultation.

Threats to executives are pushing companies like Starbucks and Disney to boost CEO security and mandate the use of corporate jets for personal travel.

Executive security is no longer optional.

As threats against high-profile business leaders rise, U.S. companies are expanding protection for CEOs and senior executives. What was once viewed as a perk is now a core component of enterprise risk management.

Modern executive protection goes beyond physical security — integrating threat intelligence, travel risk planning, and continuous monitoring to protect leaders and ensure business continuity.

At The Falcon Consulting Group, we help organizations assess executive risk and build proactive, intelligence-driven security programs before incidents occur.
