Olin Scott Livingston, a former Regional Operations Manager for a national private security firm, provides businesses and organizations with Expert Physical Security Assessments and offers Advanced Industry Knowledge.

Often times a company’s physical security falls under an in-house department, such as facilities or maintenance, and many companies do not have, nor require, a full time dedicated expert on physical security.The downside is that advanced knowledge or advice is not readily available within the company.

Livingston Security Consulting enables clients to make more informed decisions when establishing or revamping security procedures, and provides them with the understanding and familiarity necessary when it comes to selecting a third party service provider to fulfill the company’s security needs. 

Basic Assessment

Mr. Livingston performs a walkthrough of the location to determine the current state of physical security. A basic written evaluation is provided, which includes a brief analysis of current procedures and generalized recommendations.

Comprehensive Assessment

Mr. Livingston performs a walkthrough of the location to determine the current state of physical security. A comprehensive written evaluation is provided, which includes an analysis of current procedures, detailed recommendations for changes or additions to the current setup, and extrapolation of future needs. The Comprehensive Assessment includes the creation or development of a Procedure Manual.

Procedure Manual Creation*

Many providers of physical security services, such as companies that provide security officers, do not focus time or resources on developing in-depth procedure manuals for their officers to follow. Livingston will create a set of detailed Post Orders, a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Manual, for newly established security; or will work with a company representative or third-party provider to further develop the current SOP. 

Vendor Selection

There are many benefits to using a third-party contract security provider, however the devil is in the details. Choosing the right provider for your company is paramount to the successful implementation of security protocols. Selecting the wrong provider means not only poor administration of your security procedures, but also a constant headache for the company representative in charge of overseeing security or third party vendors. Livingston Security Consulting can assist you in selecting the right provider for your security, and even help with overseeing the initial setup.
