Crosshatch services span the lifecycle of security and intelligence programs:

  • Situation analysis. Experts evaluate the client’s current safety/security status, determine the gaps and strengths in any existing programs, and define opportunities for improvements.
  • Program design. In cooperation with a client’s designated officials, Crosshatch develops realistic, detailed, actionable safety/security plans.
  • Comprehensive, sophisticated training. Crosshatch builds multi-level in-country capacity — from national officials to local first responders — to implement programs. Training can encompass sophisticated intelligence collection and analysis, operational and tradecraft instruction, modern law enforcement techniques and public safety, and homeland security practices — the range of abilities required to implement proven-successful programs and techniques. In addition to in-country training, training can take place in the U.S. through federal, state, and local agencies, training institutes, and private/NGO program sites.
  • Facility construction. Turnkey solutions can include cost-effective design and construction of new facilities essential to a program, such as operations centers and command centers.
  • Technology/product acquisition. Crosshatch directs clients to and deploys state-of-the-art, cost-effective solutions vetted by its experts, including open source intel analysis, social media monitoring, and cybersecurity systems
  • Ongoing support. Crosshatch can ensure that solutions continue to perform by providing periodic in-country review and follow-up services as needed.
