Kidnap & extortion response

Crisis Response to Kidnaps & Extortions

Crisis management support for K&R and other incidents

Kidnap for ransom (K&R) and other critical incidents require professional support by experienced crisis responders and a worldwide network of specialists in order to successfully solve such threatening situations.

 

We have been selected and retained by a leading international insurer as crisis response partner for its insured clients. In addition, we support insured clients of other insurers with crisis response services as well as non-insured clients directly.

Why us

We are a team of internationally experienced specialists for crisis response to kidnappings, extortions and evacuations.

 

  • We have worked many years in international crisis response teams of national and international insurers.
  • Many of our response consultants are former members of intelligence agencies, military special units, government negotiation teams - including the FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit - and have themselves lived in crisis areas for several years.
  • Crisis response experience on every continent, including high-risk regions such as DR Congo, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq - including complex kidnappings by terrorist organizations such as the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS
  • Crisis response to hijackings (kidnap/hijack) by Somali and West African pirates
  • Experience in crisis response to cyber extortion, product protection cases, unwarranted arrests, as well as missing persons cases, evacuations due to political unrest, employee and union conflicts, terrorist attacks, rampage incidents, and business continuity management cases.

 

Few providers in the world have crisis response consultants with such a broad language profile - including English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Russian, Urdu and Mandarin - many of them native speakers.

Immediate response - worldwide

Our crisis response team is led from Germany with response capability on every continent and is strategically located around the globe and in close range of upcoming incidents in different regions.

 

Each of our case-experienced response consultants can safely operate in different cultural environments and has a network to local supporters and reliable contacts within local authorities.

 

Additionally we have access to a wide network of security service providers that support our crisis consultants.
