Counter-terrorism may be the nation's highest profile challenge, but there are many facets to Homeland Security and Public Safety. The need for US and international industry, academia, NGOs and governments at all levels to better understand, counter and be prepared for emerging threats of political and economic terrorism becomes evermore apparent. People, government facilities, schools and industry – and their supporting infrastructures – all are at risk.
National Public Safety Strategies (NPSS), a wholly owned division of Cardinal Point Strategies contributes to the formation of national and domestic security policy by providing technical and strategic planning support and advice to international, national, state and local governments, schools and universities, NGOs, industry and business.

In addition, globalization of business and information technology (IT) pose numerous challenges for safeguarding an entire enterprise, including competitive intelligence and hostile forces targeting the unassuming and unprepared, personnel, (“human capital”), facilities, operations, information technology (IT) and intellectual assets. CPS/ NPSS fully understands all these issues as a result of the field expertise that distinguishes our team from all others. NPSS associates include the former Assistant Director and Chief of the FBI's Counter Terrorism Division, former Chief of the New York State Organized Crime Intelligence Division, and former head of the nations only State Attorney Generals Office responsible for managing Hate Crimes and Domestic Terrorism initiatives. CPS/NPSS draws upon the experience of knowledgeable practitioners in the intelligence and police executive fields to help structure and build intelligence gathering and analysis services within law enforcement, government and private sector operations.
Over the past thirty years, senior CPS/NPSS management has been instrumental in de-escalating potentially catastrophic events both within and outside our domestic borders. During this period of time, our executives have forged enduring bonds with law enforcement and intelligence services around the world. This tightly knit community relies on the trust and familiarity of its peers to mobilize resources that are otherwise unavailable to business communities at large.
