Consulting And Investigative Services
Consulting And Investigative Services
Security problems are rarely random. They follow patterns in procedures, access control, staffing, and human behavior. Freedom Defense Services, Inc. offers consulting and investigative services to help you find those patterns, fix weak points, and resolve serious incidents with clear facts instead of guesses.
From our office in Corona, we support businesses, property owners, and organizations throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and the Inland Empire. Our team works alongside your existing Security Guard Services program to strengthen risk management, loss prevention, and incident response.
Security Consulting Services
Our consulting services are designed for owners, managers, and security directors who want a clear picture of their current risk and a practical plan for improvement.
We focus on your actual sites, your people, and the way your facilities operate every day in California, rather than offering generic suggestions that never reach the field.

During a security review we look at:
A vulnerability assessment looks at how easy it is for someone to steal, trespass, or cause harm at your property. We walk the site, review operations, and study incident history to see where trouble is likely to appear.
Typical review points include:
- Building entries, exits, and emergency routes
- Perimeter fencing, gates, and parking areas
- Lighting levels in lots, alleys, docks, and walkways
- How keys, access cards, and codes are issued and controlled
- Camera placement, coverage gaps, and recording practices
- Guard posts, patrol patterns, and report quality
Security Engineering And High Tech Systems
Many properties already have cameras, access control, and alarms, but the equipment is misaligned, poorly configured, or rarely checked. Our consultants help you get full value from the systems you already own and plan upgrades where they are truly needed.
Support can include:
- Reviewing camera layouts and angles for your highest risk areas
- Suggesting changes in lens choice, placement, or recording settings
- Evaluating access control rules, door schedules, and badge levels
- Coordinating with vendors during new installations or system changes
Information Security And Insider Risk At The Physical Layer
While IT departments manage firewalls and software, many breaches still start with physical access. An unlocked server room, an unattended workstation, or sensitive paperwork left out in shared spaces can cause as much damage as a digital attack.
Our team looks at:
- Where sensitive documents and devices are stored
- Who can reach server rooms, telecom closets, and equipment racks
- How visitors and contractors move through office and production spaces
- Whether guards and staff know what to watch for around critical assets
Security Management, Policy Development, And Training
Strong security programs rely on clear rules and consistent habits, not just hardware and guards. We help you write and refine the policies that guide daily decisions.
Typical projects include:
- Security management plans for multi site operations
- Written post orders that match your property and industry
- Workplace violence prevention procedures
- Drug and alcohol policies tied to safety and security
- Security awareness programs for staff at all levels
- Emergency preparedness and crisis response plans
Executive Protection And Personal Security Planning
Executives, high profile individuals, and key employees sometimes face unique personal risk. Our consultants design personal security plans that coordinate with your facilities, travel patterns, and business events.
Planning can cover
- Residence risk reviews
- Office and travel route awareness
- Coordination with Armed Security Guards and future
- Event security planning for meetings, speeches, and public appearances
Investigative Services
When something serious happens, you need facts you can rely on. Our investigative services are built to uncover what happened, document it clearly, and support your next steps with evidence rather than rumor.
We work discreetly and always within legal and policy boundaries, coordinating with your leadership, HR, legal teams, and law enforcement when appropriate.
Theft, Fraud, Embezzlement, And Kickback Investigations
Long term losses rarely fix themselves. If you are seeing unexplained shrinkage, missing inventory, cash shortages, or unusual vendor activity, our investigators can help you understand what is behind the numbers.
An investigation may include:
- Reviewing internal documents, reports, and access logs
- Interviewing staff, supervisors, and relevant witnesses
- Studying camera footage and guard reports from related incidents
- Mapping how goods, cash, or data move through your operation
- Identifying patterns that point to misuse, outside theft, or process failure
Surveillance And Activity Verification
Sometimes you need eyes on a situation over time. Our team can coordinate lawful surveillance to confirm patterns of theft, misconduct, or policy violations.
Assignments may include:
- Watching exterior areas where after hours activity is suspected
- Monitoring loading docks, yards, or parking lots with known problems
- Monitoring loading docks, yards, or parking lots with known problems
- Monitoring loading docks, yards, or parking lots with known problems
Technical Countermeasures Coordination
For certain clients, the risk of covert recording or unauthorized monitoring is real. In those cases, we can coordinate technical countermeasures through trusted specialists.
Typical concerns include:
- Hidden cameras in meeting rooms or private offices
- Unapproved audio recording devices
- Unapproved audio recording devices
- Whether guards and staff know what to watch for around critical assets
When these risks are present, we help you define the scope, choose the right partner, and tie the results back to your overall security policies.
Executive And Personnel Screening
For high trust roles, standard hiring checks may not go far enough. We can assist with enhanced screening that still respects legal and policy limits.
This may involve:
- Confirming background information for executives and key staff
- Confirming background information for executives and key staff
- Confirming background information for executives and key staff
Screening results often feed into Selection of Personnel and future security staffing decisions, especially at sites with high value assets or sensitive operations
Background Investigations For Security Positions
When you trust someone with a badge, keys, or access to critical systems, their background matters.
Beyond standard checks required by California law and BSIS licensing, we can conduct deeper background work for key security positions, supervisors, and specialized posts. This supports your compliance goals and strengthens the hiring and placement steps described in Hiring Program Strategies and Staffing Your Facility.
How Consulting And Investigations Support Your Security Program
Consulting and investigative services are most effective when they connect directly to your daily security operations.
Findings from our work often lead to:
- Adjusted staffing levels on Security Guard Services
- New patrol patterns for Mobile Patrol Security Services
- Updated post orders on Site Specific Training & Post Orders
- Targeted training through Training Format and Curriculum
- Equipment changes guided by the Equipment page
- Ongoing performance reviews through Program Management
