Legal decisions can be made or broken by expert opinions on highly technical matters such as electronic security and security technology in matters relating to premises liability and criminal negligence. Protective Resources consultants serve as expert witnesses in litigation involving security systems, providing clear, authoritative testimony that helps judges and juries understand complex technical issues.
Areas of Expertise
- Premises liability — adequacy of security measures, foreseeability factors, industry standard of care, and whether security failures contributed to an incident
- Video surveillance systems — camera coverage, recording practices, retention policies, and forensic video analysis
- Access control and alarm systems — system design adequacy, monitoring and response, false alarm issues, and maintenance failures
- Security program adequacy — guard force operations, post orders, policies and procedures, and training
- Installation and contract disputes — whether systems were designed, installed, and commissioned to specification and industry standards
What Sets Our Experts Apart
Many security experts offer opinions; far fewer can withstand cross-examination on the technology itself. Our consultants each bring 20+ years of hands-on industry experience and hold credentials including Certified Protection Professional (ASIS), NICET Senior Engineering Technician, and NC electrical contractor licensure. When opposing counsel drills into frame rates, door hardware, alarm signal paths, or system programming, our opinions rest on demonstrable technical mastery — not just resume generalities.
How We Work with Counsel
We serve both plaintiff and defense, and we tell you early and candidly what the technical facts support — including when they don’t support your theory of the case. Services include case merit evaluation, site inspections, evidence and discovery review, expert reports, deposition and trial testimony, and technical support for examining opposing experts. Our experts have testified in state and federal courts.
Make sure your side has the technical competence to help win your case.
