From observation to an actionable plan.
Observe
Review the site, surrounding conditions, access, movement, procedures, technology, and current protective measures.
Analyze
Connect vulnerabilities and likely threats to practical consequences, existing safeguards, and organizational priorities.
Prioritize
Deliver findings, written procedures, plans, or implementation recommendations in the agreed format.
Consulting experience
Perspective shaped in the field.
APS consulting draws on private investigation, military, law enforcement, protective services, technology, and critical infrastructure experience.
Owner Timothy Farrow brings more than 30 years in the security field, domestic and international work, and documented training in critical infrastructure protection, enhanced threat and risk assessment, protective measures, hazardous materials, bomb threat response, explosives awareness, and sport event risk management.
Recommendations are advisory unless APS is separately engaged for implementation. Specific outcomes depend on the client, environment, resources, and follow-through.
A connected capability
Assessment can lead directly to action.
When appropriate, APS can help translate findings into site procedures, officer assignments, supervisor expectations, training priorities, and ongoing security plans—keeping strategy connected to day-to-day operations.
Discuss an AssessmentConsulting FAQ
What an assessment can cover.
What can an APS security assessment include?
An assessment can review physical conditions, access, movement, procedures, staffing, camera placement, mantraps, CPTED, crime context, traffic, severe weather, and other factors relevant to the site.
Are APS consulting recommendations site-specific?
Yes. APS develops procedures, manuals, security plans, and improvement priorities around the organization and site rather than using a generic template.
Does APS use drones during assessments?
Lawful drone-supported aerial photography may be used when it improves the assessment and conditions, authority, and applicable rules allow it.
Can APS help implement assessment findings?
When separately scoped, APS can help translate findings into procedures, officer assignments, supervision, training priorities, and ongoing security plans.
