Active threat monitoring: search what you can, hear what you can't

Someone Usually Notices First

The intelligence

Most people who attack prominent figures never threaten the target first, yet someone around them usually notices. This brief asks what active monitoring should listen for, how it differs from the routine check that deleted records have not returned, and how a protective team can reach the people who see warning signs before any search does. Built from Secret Service, FBI and RAND research. For family offices and security leads.
