Safeguarding Healthcare Facilities with Defense Grade Expertise.

CTP combines world-class Safety, Security & Emergency Management expertise with decades of internationally recognized expertise in secure facility engineering. We understand that urban based hospital facilities face a multitude of increasing risks, hazards and threats. All of which must be addressed in a robust way. Hospitals must be properly equipped to provide a safe and secure working environment as well as effectively respond to critical events when they occur.

Hospitals in urban areas are becoming increasingly susceptible to incidents of violence both within the facility as well as on exterior grounds. CTP helps urban hospitals implement meaningful physical security measures by application of CPTED based security engineering; human behavior, situational awareness, security response protocols and de-escalation training; emergency notification systems; emergency communications systems; surveillance; access control; fire and life safety and more.

Urban hospitals must also prepare for more catastrophic events including natural disasters, new pandemics and terror attacks. CTP helps guide hospital and healthcare organizations in the development of modernized emergency response and operational continuity planning that protects against loss of life, assets and data. Hospitals require regularly updated emergency preparedness plans that cover a wide range of potential emergencies above and beyond any typical organization. These plans must include highly detailed procedures for evacuation, sheltering in place, communication and coordination with external emergency responders.

Our Process

As the most dependable Counterterrorism and Intelligence contractors for the Department of Defense, we are keenly aware of the human and natural threats to urban hospitals and healthcare facilities. As specialists in the application of advanced safety and security engineering for the healthcare industry, our process imparts life-saving experience and knowledge as well as reduces risk exposure.

Defense Grade Research for Urban Healthcare Facilities.

We work with FEMA, DHS, federal and local law enforcement and local emergency services to gain deep understanding of the human and natural threats your property, staff and guests face. We conduct staff and security interviews to understand your operations, movement patterns and traffic patterns, foundational training and perceived vulnerabilities. We analyze facility blueprints, current and past threat mitigations, external grounds and the socio-political environment in which you operate. The intelligence gathered is used to construct a comprehensive Assessment Plan.

Comprehensive Urban Healthcare Safety & Security Assessment.

Our Safety & Security Assessment protocol is essential in identifying all potential risks and hazards that affect the safety, security and functionality of your healthcare facility. CTP Healthcare Assessment TEAMs approach the three silos of Safety, Security and Emergency Management holistically and with multidisciplinary expertise. This enables you to receive the highest degree of assessment quality which drives preparedness, response and resiliency in the face of crisis.

A CTP Healthcare Facility Assessment helps you understand your current Safety, Security and Emergency Management capabilities and plan ahead to maximize mitigation of natural or human disasters. We take into account every aspect of your facilities, equipment, technology, operations, culture and mission to design a bespoke Safety, Security & Emergency Management Architecture that provides meaningful protection against all potential threats. Our recommendations are designed in alignment with your cultural and organizational mission and values to support the highest level of care.

CTP Planning & Protocol Development to Optimize Security, Experience and Crisis Response.

Our foundational emergency management planning helps you prepare for, face and recover from all potential human and natural disaster events. We help you develop or update detailed emergency response plans outlining specific procedures for all possible emergency types; addressing evacuation protocols, communication strategies, medical surge capacity and coordination with local emergency services and agencies.

We develop Incident Command Systems that establish a clear chain of command and facilitate effective communication and decision making during emergencies with well defined Roles and responsibilities.

Security Engineering that Complements your Aesthetic.

Our engineers apply multidisciplinary expertise to determine structural changes and equipment required to keep you safe from all disaster types. We specialize in camouflaging security infrastructure with existing urban, architectural and natural environments. This reduces threats and mitigates criminal opportunities without compromising your designed aesthetic.

We regularly interface with designers, architects and construction contractors to build-in safety and security mitigations for retrofit, renovation and new construction. This includes security design, access control, defensible space and surveillance systems using CPTED methodologies.

Real World Security Training for Healthcare Environments.

We’ve trained law enforcement, special operations, Secret Service and private security including urban hospital security teams. This experience taught us that proper tactical security skills are not always common sense. Lack of training and skills often becomes disastrously evident during an intense security event. In high-stress situations, we revert to trained response. Our healthcare security training program focuses on violence prevention with heavy emphasis on situational awareness, security interviewing, de-escalation, threat response and more. We impart proven life saving skills, tailored to the conditions of healthcare environments. These skills reduce impact of violence through awareness of correct actions before, during and after a threat event.
