SPECIAL OPERATIONS TEAMS


Large Scale Threats of Theft and Violence, Require a Larger Scale Response

Outbreaks of workplace violence and theft are not unusual in even the most secure of facilities. With aircraft and ground vehicles available on 24/7 notice, iDefend’s Special Operations teams can be deployed on a moment’s notice to mitigate further threats to employees, customers, and assets.

Although they work together seamlessly, iDefend’s Special Operations group is actually divided into two distinct teams - the iDefend A.I.R. Team (Advanced Incident Response), and the iDefend A.R. Team (Advanced Reconnaissance) .

Thanks to the advanced skills of both of these tactical and investigative focused team members, iDefend’s A.I.R. Team professionals place the highest priority on first, putting a stop to the issue. Concurrently, the A.R. Team can immediately begin an in-depth investigation to identify the perpetrator(s) and recover stolen goods - along with developing a comprehensive prevention plan to thwart further outbreaks. iDefend’s Special Ops team leadership has been instrumental in discovering crimes and recovering millions of dollars of stolen assets in large client operations.
