Safety and Security in an Emergency: How companies take responsibility with strategic personal protection and amok prevention

The idea that there could be a targeted or indiscriminate attack on a company, a rampage or a direct threat to a manager or employee still seems remote to many (security) managers or decision-makers - almost theoretical, but at least very abstract. People generally think that the police will come - or "We're not relevant, something like that won't happen here...".

But this assumption is dangerous. Because actual incidents don't happen in theory, but in everyday life: at public events, in office buildings, on business trips on trains or in parking garages.
From my time as a police officer and now head of a specialized personal protection team in the corporate environment, I know that the dynamics of such threat situations are fast, complex - and above all unpredictable. If you only react when it is already too late, you have no options for action.

This article is intended to raise awareness and show how modern companies should position themselves today in the area of personal protection and crisis management - not with martial measures, but with strategic foresight, integrative security concepts and practical preparation with real-life scenarios. Because real security does not begin with planned access, but with understanding.
