Threat Assessment Consultant Honolulu: Why Hawaiʻi Businesses and Schools Need Expertise in 2025

Why Hawaiʻi Is Not Immune

From Waikīkī’s corporate towers to rural charter schools on the Big Island, Hawaiʻi is not isolated from the growing wave of insider threats, workplace violence, and campus security failures sweeping the nation.

In fact, the very factors that make Hawaiʻi unique — geographic isolation, reliance on tourism, and tight-knit communities — create a false sense of safety. Many leaders assume: “That won’t happen here.” History shows otherwise.

As an LAPD officer, federal WPS/WPPS protective contractor, and Director of Safety at a major Hawaiʻi university, I’ve seen firsthand that threats emerge anywhere oversight lapses. The solution is professional, third-party evaluation — the role of a threat assessment consultant.

Deep Analysis: Systemic Flaws in Hawaiʻi Security

CrisisWire’s research highlights three recurring flaws across Hawaiʻi institutions:

1. Overlapping Responsibility — In many schools and companies, security duties are spread thin between HR, facilities, and part-time officers.

2. Reactive Culture — Organizations often wait until after an incident to bring in professional guidance.

3. Liability Blindness — Boards and CEOs underestimate their legal accountability, especially when low-cost audits are available.

ASIS International and CISA’s Threat Assessment Model both stress the importance of proactive, independent reviews. Yet too few Hawaiʻi organizations engage professional

consultants until it’s too late.

Case Studies: Lessons from Hawaiʻi and Beyond

• School Example: A Honolulu charter school delayed an external threat assessment due to budget. Within a year, a false active shooter call created chaos. A later Academia.edu study on School Threat Assessments 2025 confirmed that prior audits could have reduced the disruption by 60%.

• Corporate Example: A Waikīkī hotel relied solely on internal staff training for security. An insider theft ring went unnoticed for months. As Insider Threats in Hospitals (Archive.org) shows, internal staff rarely identify internal threats — professional consultants do.

• Healthcare Example: A Maui hospital faced repeated unauthorized entries through side doors. After CrisisWire’s access control review, modeled on FEMA Building Vulnerability Assessments, leadership implemented $5,000 worth of fixes that eliminated the breaches.

Actionable Playbook: What Consultants Do

A Threat Assessment Consultant in Honolulu provides far more than a checklist. CrisisWire’s consulting model includes:

• Insider Threat Audits — using methods outlined in Insider Threat Audit – 10 Steps (Academia.edu).

• Campus Security Weakness Reviews — cross-linking to our internal blog on access control and visitor management.

• Emergency Planning Assessments — integrating FEMA/CISA standards.

• Leadership Briefings — ensuring boards understand liability exposure, as detailed in Leadership Liability in Crisis (Scribd).

Leadership Liability: Why Boards and CEOs Can’t Delay

Hawaiʻi leaders often underestimate the personal risk of inaction. Courts nationwide — and increasingly locally — are holding leaders liable for security failures.

As documented in The Prepared Leader (Amazon), leadership accountability is shifting: it is no longer acceptable to claim “budget limitations” as a defense when affordable consultants are available.

Failing to employ professional consultants like CrisisWire may soon be seen not only as negligence — but as dereliction of duty.
