Workplace Violence Prevention Services in Wisconsin
RWSI provides workplace security for employee threats, high-risk terminations, aggressive behavior, domestic concerns, and other situations where staff safety may be at risk.
Security for Workplace Threats and High-Risk Situations
A workplace threat can come from a current or former employee, an aggressive customer, a personal dispute, or someone who has repeatedly contacted or approached a staff member.
These situations often require a clear plan before anything happens. Employers may need an officer present during a termination, added security at entrances, escorts to employee vehicles, or temporary coverage after a threat.
Reyes World Security & Investigations (RWSI) provides workplace violence prevention and security services for businesses and organizations throughout Wisconsin. We provide security for a single meeting or termination, several shifts after an incident, or longer periods when the same individual continues to cause concern.
Workplace Violence Concerns Employers May Face
Workplace threats don't always develop the same way. Some follow disciplinary action or termination. Others begin outside the workplace and later affect an employee at work.
Disgruntled Current or Former Employees
A disciplinary action, termination, workplace dispute, or previous confrontation may raise concerns that an employee will return to the property or approach staff. RWSI officers can monitor entrances, remain near the meeting location, watch for a specific individual, and stay on site afterward when there is concern about a return visit.
Threatening or Aggressive Behavior
Repeated confrontations, intimidation, verbal threats, or escalating behavior may give an employer reason to add security before the situation becomes more serious. An officer can remain visible in the affected area, monitor the individual involved, and report or respond to behavior according to the employer’s established procedures.
Domestic or Personal Threats at Work
A personal conflict can become a workplace security issue when someone follows an employee, appears at the property, waits near a parking area, or repeatedly tries to make contact. RWSI can provide security near entrances, employee work areas, parking locations, and arrival or departure points connected to the concern.
High-Risk Meetings and Terminations
Some meetings carry a greater risk of confrontation, particularly when threats, aggressive behavior, or previous incidents have already occurred. An officer can be positioned nearby before the meeting begins, remain present during the interaction if requested, and monitor entrances or parking areas after the meeting ends.
Workplace Violence Security Services
Our corporate security services can provide officers where the risk is most likely to appear, rather than placing security throughout a property without a clear reason. Depending on the situation, officers may assist with:
- Security during employee terminations
- Monitoring entrances and exits
- Watching for a specific individual
- Escorting employees to vehicles
- Maintaining a visible presence after a threat or incident
- Providing security during disciplinary or higher-risk meetings
- Patrolling parking areas and exterior property
- Monitoring access during selected shifts
- Documenting suspicious or threatening activity
- Reporting concerns to designated employer contacts
How RWSI Plans Workplace Violence Security
A planned termination requires a different approach from an ongoing stalking concern or a former employee who has threatened to return. RWSI reviews what is already known about the situation before assigning officers. That allows the security plan to focus on the people and locations actually connected to the threat. Our Planning may include:
- The nature of the threat or reported behavior
- Individuals involved
- Building entrances and exits
- Employee and visitor access
- Parking areas
- Meeting locations
- Employee arrival and departure times
- Areas where the individual may appear
- Employer points of contact
- Reporting expectations
- Circumstances that require law-enforcement involvement
For a planned termination, an officer may only be needed before, during, and shortly after the meeting. A repeated threat may require officers during particular shifts or around entrances and parking areas for a longer period.
Security Services That May Support Your Needs
Some workplace threats extend beyond the building.
Executive Protection Bodyguard
An executive, manager, or employee facing a direct personal threat may need protection beyond the workplace. Executive protection can cover travel, arrival and departure, public appearances, or other locations where the individual may be exposed.
Security Guard Patrol Services
When a threat continues over several shifts or affects more than one part of the property, guard and patrol services can cover entrances, parking areas, exterior routes, and other locations tied to the concern.
Private Investigation Services
If the employer needs to understand repeated contact, threatening behavior, or suspicious activity, RWSI can investigate the circumstances and document relevant information.
Surveillance Services
Surveillance may help when an individual is suspected of repeatedly returning to the workplace, following an employee, or appearing at other locations connected to the threat.
Why Wisconsin Employers Work With RWSI
24/7 Availability
Threats are not limited to standard office hours. A concerning individual may appear during an early shift, after employees leave for the day, or during evening and weekend operations. RWSI is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Security Based on the Known Threat
A termination involving one employee does not require the same security plan as repeated stalking, aggressive customer behavior, or a former employee who has threatened to return. RWSI focuses officer placement and scheduled hours on the facts already known about the situation.
Coverage for Immediate and Continuing Concerns
Some assignments last only a few hours. Others continue while an employer, law enforcement, legal counsel, or other professionals address an ongoing threat. Security can remain in place during the periods when staff is most exposed.
Security and Investigative Services Through One Company
When a threat extends beyond the workplace or requires more information, RWSI can also provide executive protection, private investigations, and surveillance.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should a business consider workplace security services?
A business may consider workplace security services after threats, repeated confrontations, aggressive behavior, or concerns involving a current or former employee. Security may also be appropriate during terminations, disciplinary meetings, or periods when staff expect a specific individual to appear at the property.
Can security be present during an employee termination?
Yes. We can position an officer nearby before, during, and after a termination when there is concern about confrontation or retaliation. The officer can monitor entrances, remain close to the meeting area, and watch parking areas if there is concern the individual may return.
What can we do if a former employee threatens to come back?
We can provide security at entrances, parking areas, or other locations connected to the threat. Officers can monitor for the individual, support access procedures, and document concerning activity. Workplace security services can also be scheduled around specific shifts or times when the risk is more likely.
Can a domestic or personal threat become a workplace security issue?
Yes. A personal threat can become a workplace concern if someone follows an employee, appears at the property, waits near parking areas, or repeatedly tries to make contact. We can help protect the employee during arrival, departure, and other times when exposure is highest.
What security can we add after a workplace threat?
We can add officers at entrances, provide employee escorts, monitor parking areas, watch for a specific individual, or increase coverage during selected shifts. If the concern involves repeated contact or suspicious activity, we can also use surveillance or private investigation to document what is happening.
