Threat Assessment Support
Threat assessment is the discipline of evaluating whether a specific person or situation poses a credible risk of harm — to an individual, an organization, or a physical facility. Empire Investigation LLC provides threat assessment investigation services for Pittsburgh businesses, executives, schools, and institutions, combining investigative intelligence with the behavioral and situational analysis frameworks used by security professionals.
Our threat assessment process investigates the subject's background, history, statements, and current situation; documents known risk factors; and provides findings that your security team, executive protection team, or threat assessment professional can use to make informed, evidence-based decisions about protective measures.
What This Investigation Covers
- Behavioral history and documented incidents involving a specific individual
- Prior criminal, legal, or restraining order history
- Verification of escalating communications or threats
- Social media and public record intelligence relevant to the threat
- Documentation to support security and legal decision-making
When This Service Is Needed
- An employee has made threatening statements or exhibited threatening behavior

Frequently Asked Questions
We received a threatening communication. How do we assess the risk?
Contact Empire Investigation and, if the threat references specific harm, law enforcement simultaneously. We investigate the source of the threat — identity, background, history of similar behavior, current circumstances — and provide a documented intelligence report that supports your risk assessment and response planning.
Can Empire Investigation identify who sent an anonymous threat?
In many cases, yes. Anonymous threats leave investigative traces — linguistic patterns, delivery mechanisms, digital footprints, and behavioral indicators — that experienced investigators can analyze and in many cases trace to a source. We work with digital forensics partners where technical analysis is required.
