What types of situations do you handle?

Our team is equipped to handle Personal Security Threats, Workplace Violence Prevention, Corporate Threats, Crisis Response, as well as Specialized Risk Scenarios. Every situation is unique. We tailor our approach based on the specific threat type, risk level, available resources, and your personal or organizational constraints to develop practical, effective security solutions.

What is your team’s background?

Our team members bring extensive experience from local, state, and federal law enforcement, US military service, and corporate security leadership. This diverse background enables us to address complex personal and organizational security challenges across multiple threat categories.

How do you price custom consulting services?

Every situation is unique, but most services are billed hourly with an initial retainer required to begin work. Initial consultations help us provide accurate time estimates and transparent pricing before you commit to our services. The retainer covers immediate threat assessment and initial strategic planning, with any unused portion applied to ongoing work.

How is the budget managed?

We provide regular updates on time spent and the remaining retainer balance, so you maintain control over consulting costs. Many situations require intensive initial work followed by periodic check-ins, allowing you to adjust service levels as threats evolve or diminish.

What are the benefits of security consulting?

While custom security consulting represents a significant investment, consider the cost against potential consequences of unaddressed threats – personal safety, business disruption, legal exposure, or reputational damage. Most clients find that professional intervention resolves situations more efficiently and cost-effectively than attempting to manage complex security threats independently.

Chief of Police

Private University

“Best training at the conference. It was interactive and provided real time opportunities to think through a scenario.”

Steve L

"Recently a former colleague reached out to me with a unique set of circumstances that were well beyond my expertise. As per usual I followed up...and immediately knew Charles Ahmad and Group Nine Risk Consulting were the starting point for a possible solution. I was not disappointed when Charlie immediately answered my call and listened to the circumstances of the problem. Charlie immediately took point and engaged a friend of a friend with a possible course of action."

Alison S

Director of Advancement, Independent School

"We are so grateful for our time with Group Nine and the thorough attention to detail and follow up we received – and continue to receive – from them. Group Nine is truly walking alongside us to make our campuses as safe as possible with realistic and achievable solutions. Charlie and every member of the Group Nine team are true subject matter experts who were able to quickly understand the nuances of the day-to-day needs and operations of our school."

"The team at Group Nine are outstanding. We needed a detailed risk assessment for a group of high-net-worth individuals traveling overseas to a high-risk location. Group Nine delivered a professional product with a nuanced understanding of the threat landscape and tailored recommendations for our client’s safety. They are experienced professionals, and we look forward to working with them again."

Gerald Campbell

"Group Nine far exceeded my expectations in not only what I learned from their training, but how effective they were at identifying areas for improvement, explaining the mechanics of the disciplines taught and what I needed to know, and most importantly by providing me the instructions I needed to become skilled."
