CRISIS MANAGEMENT
Kidnap & Ransom Consulting
In many regions of the world, kidnapping is a growth business. Corporate executives, Humanitarian
volunteers, Expatriate workers and their families have become high potential targets for criminals,
guerrilla forces and dissidents. Incidents of kidnapping are on the rise, particularly with the knowledge
that many of those travelling to risky areas will have some form of insurance to cover kidnap.
Insurance is an important element to dealing with a kidnap incident but it does little to proactively
prevent it from happening. If a company knowingly send personnel in to a potentially dangerous situation then
it is important that they provide appropriate training and create contingency plans in order to minimize the
risks. Pioneer Consulting will work with you or your organization to address the threat from kidnapping
and properly train those at risk.
Handling a major crisis such as kidnap or illegal detention requires prompt, professional and
timely response. Pioneer's Team has extensive experience of kidnap for Ransom (K&R) cases and
maintains personnel on a minimum 'notice to move' who are ready to deploy anywhere in the
world within 24 hours of being notified (often a lot sooner).
Our consultants act exclusively as advisors to clients, assisting them in making critical
and timely decisions. Pioneer can also provide additional support to the victim's family and
organization.
Pioneer does not act as an exclusive responder to an insurance company and as such
can provide priority crisis response to clients.
