Why Us?
​

Sem Security Management, as an independent and objective security and workplace violence consulting firm, is your best choice because:

  • All work is performed by an experienced security and workplace violence professional, Dick Sem.  It's not delegated or assigned off to others.

  • We always take a proactive approach to the cost effective protection of people, assets, value and reputation.

  • We have extensive experience in planning security for hospitals and clinics, manufacturers, office buildings, etc.

  • We never recommend more security than is appropriate or necessary.  We have often found, for example, that the better use and enforcement of existing resources and processes and the fostering of positive security awareness, involvement and ownership by employees can significantly heighten protection with little extra cost.

  • Dick Sem has served as a court-qualified expert witness in many workplace violence and security-related litigations, understands the liabilities involving security, and brings that to our planning and recommendations.

  • We provide only security and workplace violence consulting services and are independent of any suppliers of security products or staffing.  Our only perspective, priority and interest is what is best for you, our client.

  • We worked with many organizations assessing, developing and training on workplace violence programs. I worked with more than thirty organizations that recently had experienced deaths by shootings and stabbings and derived lessons concerning how people and reputation can be best protected during and after such crises. 

  • We are centrally located near Chicago and Milwaukee and can easily travel anywhere to serve our clients.  We serve clients throughout North America and Europe.

  • We carry $ 1,000,000 general and professional liability insurance coverage

  • We adhere to the ethics guidelines of the International Association of Professional Security Consultants (IAPSC) and ASIS International
