Security Consultant Chris E. McGoey evaluated thousands of security plans for commercial property and businesses for five decades.
- I consulted about workplace violence, crime and loss prevention, and security plan development.
- I analyzed the nature and crime risk of commercial property and offered preventive solutions to make it reasonably safe.
- I’m court-qualified to testify as a security expert witness in premises liability litigation cases that alleged violent crime and injury were foreseeable, or security was inadequate, or a security guard was negligent, or made a false arrest, or used excessive force.

Business Client Testimonials
” I can highly recommend Chris McGoey to all shopping center security directors who have specific problems with violent crime and gang activity on their property. Mr. McGoey’s evaluation was organized and in-depth, and I learned about new issues and solutions that I had not considered before. I wasn’t sure how I would react to the scrutiny of an outside security survey, but Mr. McGoey made the audit process a learning experience that I enjoyed very much.”
- Shopping Center Security Director
” Mr. McGoey helped us fix a serious upward trend of criminal activity and violence in our apartment community. We thought we had tried everything when Mr. McGoey opened our minds to see the real source of the problem. Our occupancy rate went from 70% to 94% in six months and our long-term residents love it. I can’t recommend Mr. McGoey highly enough.”
- Apartment REIT, District Manager
” We hired Chris McGoey to conduct security surveys for our mid-size convenience store chain. We were surprised to see the depth of his analysis and the extensive list of recommendations that were not previously considered by our in-house security staff. We revamped our stores and our training program to incorporate his ideas. We feel now that we are on a solid basis for security and liability concerns.”
- Convenience Store Chain, Operations Manager
” We were more than impressed with the way you conducted yourself at our corporate meeting to help resolve a spree of takeover armed robberies. We thought we had an impossible task ahead. Our executives now have a clear understanding of why we are being targeted and what needs to occur to make our stores safe. We can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and insight.”
- Specialty Grocery Store Chain, Vice President
” I own several busy nightclubs that have been attracting an increasingly hostile crowd. Fights were routine and I feared a major blowout was coming. I hired Chris McGoey to conduct a risk assessment. I was surprised by how quickly Mr. McGoey spotted the flaws in my operation. He trained my security staff and put them on the right path to safely and lawfully manage the conduct of my patrons. We have a solid security plan now and much less liability exposure. I can highly recommend Chris McGoey as a nightclub security consultant.
- Nightclub Bar Owner
” We really appreciate your professional input on the status of our high school security program. Your analysis was right on target and will help us evaluate what we need to do next. We look forward to working with you again during the implementation phase.
- School District Superintendent
” We want to let you know how much we appreciated your security survey of our premier gated community. As a property manager, we could not have resolved the issue of how to satisfy the security concerns of our divided homeowner association membership without your knowledge and professionalism. Even the feistiest homeowners were satisfied after the presentation of your analysis. We learned much from you about how to approach these complex issues in the future.
