HISTORY

Standing Stone Consulting Inc. began in 1999 when a concerned group of mission driven security, crime prevention, and emergency response experts began offering their expertise to clients. These consultants had years of real world, firsthand experience in a wide variety of environments. Together they had worked on thousands of safety, security, and emergency response projects. Over the past 25+ years Standing Stone has been involved in thousands of assessments and security/emergency response planning projects such as schools in rural Alaska, military bases around the country, and the evacuation and sheltering plan for Washington DC and the surrounding Metropolitan area. It is this exposure to the solutions observed in a wide variety of environments and types of organizations that allows our team to develop the best security and emergency response capabilities for our clients. 

SAFETY & SECURITY: COUNT ON OUR EXPERTISE

 “Standing Stone was started with the sole purpose of helping our clients be productive and safe from harm.  We can help you prepare for and respond to emergencies.  Let our experts help you organize, train and equip yourself and your organization so that you can be productive and free of fear.”
