Who We Are:              

LOOP Inc. is a one-stop Security Consulting Firm that features a network of advisors and instructors with an extremely wide variety of backgrounds and experiences from decades of service with the FBI, CIA, US Secret Service, and other government entities, as well as the Private Sector.  Our vision was to take the operational skillsets we had learned and honed with decades of real-world experience, and bring that knowledge (along with top-tier training) to the Private Sector to better prepare all entities for the myriad of threats within modern society.  One of our primary goals is to empower and provide increased confidence and peace-of-mind to the employees, professional staff, and volunteers who work within the Private Sector across the US.  Along with this primary objective, our specialized training ensures Private Sector entities have fulfilled their core responsibilities of providing for the safety, health, and welfare of their employees, clients, et al.  

We are passionate and dedicated to what we see as our mission – seeking safety and security in the communities that we work and live in, and to make use of the experience we gained in service to our country.  We do this by translating the unique knowledge and skills we gained during our previous careers into a benefit for our clients. 

Background

In the last several years, the economic, political, and security climate has changed in the US, dramatically.  Fueled by the worldwide pandemic, threats of all types have increased in intensity and frequency.  Within California and across the US, we are seeing significant rises in violent crime exacerbated by civil unrest and “Targeted Violence” events (“Targeted Violence” refers to any incident where an individual or group selects a specific target of attack, regardless of motive).  Workplace Violence, Acts of Terrorism, Mass Shootings, and Active Shooter incidents all fall within the definition of “Targeted Violence.”    In 2021, there were more than 300 mass shootings in the US, representing an increase which exceeded the already-high numbers from 2020.  California had the highest number of deadly Mass Shootings in the US last year.  The vast majority of this new “wave” of Targeted Violence has been focused on various entities of the Private Sector, Educational Institutions, Houses of Worship, and Healthcare Facilities.  Between 2020 and 2021, we saw large increases in the number of threats, harassing behaviors, and “Targeted Violence” against all sectors of our society.     There has also been a massive increase in Cyber Attacks of all types.  Malware, Ransomware, Business Email Compromise, Phishing, just to name a few.  These crippling attacks are damaging to small organizations, large infrastructure-related corporations, and everything in between.
