Case Studies
Background Investigations
The Problem:
A bank was considering hiring a particular person for a teller position at a local branch and wanted more information on the prospective employee.
Kroll was engaged to help the bank learn more about the candidate in order to make an informed hiring decision.
The Kroll Solution:
Kroll performed a background search, including a Social Security number verification and a search of county criminal records.
The Result:
The research revealed that the candidate had altered his Social Security number and used an alias in his authorization and release form. A subsequent search of criminal records revealed that the man had been convicted of theft and embezzlement in two jurisdictions.
Workplace Violence Prevention
The Problem:
After a string of highly publicized cases of workplace violence across the country, a security manager at a large corporation was concerned about the potential for violence at his own company.
The security manager wanted to learn more about workplace violence and attended the seminar "Avoiding Violence in the Workplace” presented by Kroll. The seminar addresses such points as how to identify the typical offender profile and conflicts that lead to violent acts, de-escalation techniques and proactive avoidance practices.
The Kroll Solution:
When the seminar was over, the manager realized one of his employees fit the offender profile. He spoke with the Kroll instructor, who suggested appropriate steps he should take.
The Result:
Once back at work, the manager used corporate security and local law enforcement to search the employee's car that was parked on company property. A firearm was found and the employee was terminated. He then led the police on a high-speed chase that resulted in his arrest.
