Workplace Crime Investigations:
Fraud related crimes are commonly reported on in the news. We see a growing problem with more and more employees who are involved in embezzling company funds to pay for a lifestyle they cannot afford. No matter the reason for the crime the fraud and theft continue. Many owners and managers are embarrassed to talk about it or report the incident, which allows the employees to move on to another company and commit the same crime. Workplace threats and violent acts are also increasing in today’s stressful economy. Security consultations and planning assistance for development of a threat assessment and security program for employers can be provided, to include a security policy and procedure plan for the company. Sexual harassment investigations fall into this category and should be taken seriously. In-depth interviews should be conducted to resolve the complaint.
