On-call Response Team
CRI has a 24-hour "Hotline" (703-359-3901) in the event that a company or individual requires assistance with a kidnapping, illegal detention, extortion or other crisis.
Our response team members provide advice to client's regarding communications with involved parties; liaison with in-country law enforcement (if appropriate); negotiation strategy; and explanation of the likely progression of events for these stressful matters. CRI will conduct a threat assessment to determine if the victim's family or other corporate employees are threatened and, if so, arrange for adequate security for them and/or their family members.
Safety of the Victim
The function of CRI's team is to assist, advise and guide clients through what can often be a devastating ordeal. Our foremost concern is the safety of the victim and protection of the client's assets.
