Threat Assessment
Controversy Surrounding the Client
This client is not the typical, everyday individual. He is an outspoken controversial white supremacist who often engages in blatantly controversial public behavior. The client is also planning to meet with the press and speak his mind regarding the recent charges brought against him involving murder and violation of civil rights. He is currently out on a $1 million bond and going through a criminal court case. As such, he is hated by many within the larger Southern California community, considering that the city is largely made up of large minority populations.

His condition will require special medical transportation services on the hour drive to and from the courthouse, which will increase risk involved because a more secure vehicle cannot be used. Additionally, it increases the number of people that will need to be considered in the security plan because of the constant presence of a nurse.
Planning Strategy
Objectives
The primary objective of this plan is to provide security for the client and his estate while he is in court and at home. This means ensuring the estate is protected while he is away in court in Los Angeles, as well as increased protections that cover his own physical safety while he is at home. Eight armed security officers will help secure the client's estate during this hard time. It is important to…
