Kidnap for Ransom (K&R), Extortion, and Maritime Piracy (Modern Pirates) Response Services
We Have Responded to over 1,300 Incidents of Kidnap for Ransom, Extortion, and Maritime Piracy. Our Success Rate Is Unrivaled.
We provide a unique network of expatriate first responders in virtually every location where the United States Government maintains a formal presence, allowing trusted and vetted interaction from case initiation through responder deployment, through post-care treatment.
Our consultants are not only well-versed in the very narrow practice of maritime (marine) and non-maritime kidnap for ransom and extortion response, but also in the sophisticated and high level intelligence, political, and country risk elements of each case.
Insured Clients Are Entitled to Unlimited Access to Our Analysts, Senior Management, Crisis Response Consultants, and Other Personnel, All at No Additional Fee beyond the Policy Premium.
We also house a team of psychologists and psychiatrists, headed by a professor of psychiatry at the University Of Miami Miller School of Medicine, who assist our response and intelligence teams in the assessment of each case from initiation to resolution. Our service goes beyond negotiation strategies for ransom and extortion money and we believe that the families, corporate cultures, and the victims involved, are best served when their psychological needs are looked after as an integral part of a rescue and response.
Every case will have a seasoned crisis case manager, an intelligence analyst, a psychiatric consultant, a rotating in-place consultant(s) and a team leader; all aided by ongoing peer-to-peer case review.
After an Extortion or K&R incident, we seek to restore the client and all related parties to their normal financial, organizational, or familiar dynamic as quickly and completely as possible.
The emphasis in all kidnap for ransom (K&R), Extortion, and Modern Pirate cases, however, is staying ahead with prevention and getting to know the clients through as many interactions as possible during the course of the policy – generally at no additional cost to the client.
We act as partners in the management of crisis risk and our ongoing and bespoke proactive training will assure up to date familiarity with our clients’ business needs as well as changing personnel.
