Threat Assessment Services Across Massachusetts
A threat assessment evaluates a specific, known concern — a direct threat against an employee or executive, a concerning pattern of behavior from a former employee, a credible tip — and gives you a structured, documented read on how serious it actually is and what to do next. Hub provides threat assessment services in Boston and across Massachusetts.
This is a structured process, not a guess: we gather what’s known, interview relevant people where appropriate, and document the assessment in a way that supports whatever decision follows, whether that’s increased security, a conversation with law enforcement, or a legal step like a restraining order.

A Documented Process, Not a Gut Call
Deciding how seriously to take a threat shouldn’t come down to one person’s instinct alone — a structured assessment process produces a documented, defensible read that holds up whether the next step is more security, a conversation with HR, or a report to police.

Common Questions
How quickly can a threat assessment be done? Often within a day or two for an urgent concern — call us directly rather than using a form if the situation feels time-sensitive.
What happens after the assessment? We’ll give you clear, prioritized recommendations; what you do with them — more security, HR action, law enforcement — is your call, informed by a documented picture rather than a guess.
What Goes Into a Threat Assessment
A threat assessment starts with information, not assumptions — behavioral history, any direct or indirect threats that were made, the specific environment (a workplace, a school, an event, an executive’s home and routine), and how credible and specific the concern actually is. Hub’s assessors hold Massachusetts private investigator or watch guard credentials under the agency’s license, and the work follows a structured process: interviews with the people who raised the concern, a review of any available documentation such as emails, messages, or prior incident reports, and an on-site look at the physical environment when it’s relevant to the concern. The output isn’t a vague risk label — it’s a written assessment with specific findings and specific recommendations the client can actually act on, whether that means adjusting a security posture, involving law enforcement, or simply documenting the concern properly in case it escalates later. Massachusetts watch guard and private investigator licensing governs who can lawfully perform this kind of investigative work in the state, and Hub operates under that framework for every threat assessment engagement.
What a Hub Threat Assessment Report Looks Like
Report No.: Sample TA-1842 (fictional, for illustration only)
Assessor: T. Marsh, Licensed Investigator
Context: A regional retail employer requested review of an employee’s escalating behavior toward a coworker, including two after-hours phone contacts flagged by HR.
Findings: Behavior assessed as moderate concern: specific, directed, but no history of violence or weapons access identified during interviews and records review.
Recommendation: Document all contact in writing, restrict building access for the individual pending HR action, and reassess in 30 days or immediately if behavior escalates.
This is a fictional sample created for illustration only, to show the kind of report a client receives — it does not describe a real case.
