Targeted

Threat Assessment and Executive Protection in the Age of Grievance-Driven Violence

by Warren Pulley

The attack is usually the end of a path. This book shows you how to see the path, and how to protect the person at the end of it.

Targeted brings together behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM) and executive protection in one method, from the first concerning email to the protective detail at the door. Drawing on the official reviews of Butler and West Palm Beach and published research on targeted violence, it covers:

• The grievance pathway, and why behavior matters more than threats
• Building a threat management team with one front door for every concern
• Lawful investigation of a person of concern, with an OSINT toolkit and guardrails
• Structured professional judgment and least-intrusive case management
• Scaling protection to the assessment, post-Butler advances, residential hardening, and digital footprint
• Program governance for boards, family offices, and public officials

Every chapter ends with “What the Protector Does Monday Morning,” and the appendices include intake, triage, assessment, case management, posture, residential, event and advance, and digital-footprint forms.
