1. KIDNAP FOR RANSOM RESPONSE
Pro-Intell security solutions

2. • Kidnap for ransom is a growing crime in a
world made less stable by economic crises
and the resulting polarization of wealth
between the haves and the have-nots.
• Kidnappers target the wealthy or
apparently wealthy and employees of
local or international organizations. They
do not discriminate against gender, age or
social class.

9. Kidnap Prevention:
There is much that can be done to reduce the risk
of becoming a kidnap victim.
1. Know your surroundings
Seek advice from trusted locals or local police to
identify areas that are unsafe, and avoid passing
through these areas. Avoid walking alone in the
streets.

10. Kidnap Prevention:
2. Reduce your profile if you can
Avoid jewelry, expensive cars and accessories
which indicate wealth or identify you as a
foreigner or an employee of a well-known
company or organization.

11. Kidnap Prevention:
3. Avoid Routines:
Routines should be avoided where possible by
changing the times and routes between work and
home; you are at risk if your location can be
predicted. This practice should be carried out by
all people on the policy.

12. Kidnap Prevention:
4. Be vigilant when travelling
Your travel itineraries should be shared with as
few people as possible. Remain observant and be
aware of unusual activity. If you see suspicious or
unusual activity, seek out a well-populated location
where a kidnapping is unlikely to take place.

13. Kidnap Prevention:
5. Take extra precautions when away from
home
Do not open your hotel room door until you
confirm who is visiting you. Use the door- scope or
confirm with the concierge/front desk who the
visitor is.

14. Kidnap Prevention:
6. Make yourself as secure as possible
Ensure that your property is fitted with functioning
alarms. Carry a personal alarm and store
emergency numbers in your phone via speed-dial.
Using guards or armored vehicles are options
which may be appropriate.
