40-Year Security Veteran Offers Evidence-Based Solutions Meeting OSHA Standards, Cal/OSHA Requirements, and Federal Guidelines

Honolulu, Hawaii – November 1, 2025 – As California's SB 553 workplace violence prevention law mandates written prevention plans for all employers, and OSHA workplace violence statistics show violence accounts for nearly 20% of workplace fatalities, organizations face urgent pressure to implement comprehensive prevention programs. CrisisWire Threat Management Solutions, led by former LAPD violent crimes investigator Warren Pulley, announces specialized consulting services designed to transform legal compliance into genuine employee protection.

Recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics confirms workplace violence remains a persistent threat across industries, with healthcare and social services experiencing the highest rates. As detailed in Warren Pulley's The Prepared Leader: Threat Assessment, Emergency Planning, and Safety and his published research "How to Conduct an Insider Threat Audit in 10 Steps" (also available through Archive.org and Scribd), most workplace violence incidents show warning signs that organizations miss due to inadequate prevention systems.

"Every workplace violence incident I investigated during 12 years with LAPD followed predictable patterns," says Pulley, who brings experience protecting lives across law enforcement, military installations, diplomatic security, and corporate environments documented in Uniformed Silence: A Journey Through Security Careers. "Workplace violence is preventable when organizations identify warning signs early and respond with structured interventions."

Comprehensive Prevention Framework Exceeding Compliance

CrisisWire's workplace violence prevention programs integrate requirements from California SB 553, OSHA workplace violence guidelines, FEMA IS-906: Workplace Security Awareness, and methodologies from the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit.
