Unexpected Beginnings, Strategic Paths 

Anna’s voyage into the world of security and consulting began in an unexpected domain—the management of logistics for concerts, music festivals, and city events. This career chapter honed her organizational prowess and ability to steer through chaotic scenarios. Recognizing the power of her skills, Anna seamlessly transitioned into two pivotal roles that would lay the foundation for Reahl Consulting. 

As a fractional Chief Operating Officer, Anna lends her strategic and operational prowess to small businesses, leveraging her extensive experience as an operations executive. Simultaneously, she embarked on a journey into event perimeter security consulting, where her organizational acumen proved invaluable. Her shift from individual event production to safeguarding entire city event landscapes was a natural progression driven by her commitment to safety and collaboration. 

Anna’s unwavering dedication to supporting cities, local law enforcement, and government agencies in securing perimeters is fueled by her intrinsic values of organization and forward thinking. Collaborating with seasoned professionals in crowd management and security, Anna’s approach hinges on a comprehensive risk assessment and the implementation of a defense-in-depth strategy.

Guiding Organizational Transformation  

Reahl Consulting, a strategic advisory firm, embodies a meticulous blend of expertise and dedication. The firm offers a comprehensive spectrum of services meticulously designed to heighten efficiency, security, and strategic advancement. Deeply rooted in the craft of orchestrating order from chaos, Reahl Consulting excels in two pivotal domains, delivering excellence tailored to individual needs. 

The first facet of Reahl Consulting’s prowess lies in Fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO) Services. Seasoned professionals, operating under Anna’s sage leadership, collaborate with small businesses to instill strategic and operational brilliance. This encompasses operations management, business strategy, process refinement, and change management. In a part-time capacity, these experts fortify organizational foundations, catalyzing growth and fostering dynamic resilience. 

Leveraging Anna’s extensive experience in emergency preparedness, Reahl Consulting extends its reach into Security Perimeter Consulting. The firm’s emphasis is on designing and constructing security perimeters, extending vital support to Law Enforcement Agencies and Government entities. Armed with an array of security assets, Reahl Consulting creates temporary perimeter security structures, exemplifying their commitment to ensuring safety during pivotal events and gatherings. 

Essential Security Considerations 

Anna emphasizes the importance of a multilayered approach when evaluating perimeter security for large events. “Relying on a single security measure is insufficient,” she advised. First and foremost, a comprehensive risk assessment helps identify potential threats and vulnerabilities specific to the event. With risks pinpointed, a defense-in-depth strategy provides layered security measures for robust protection. 

Clearly defining the perimeter and access points lays the groundwork. Strict access controls allow only authorized individuals to enter. Adequate lighting deters unauthorized access while improving visibility—trained security personnel monitor for incidents, equipped with proper tools, training, and communication. Comprehensive policies and procedures outline responsibilities and best practices. Regular reviews adapt plans to evolving threats. 

Detailed incident response protocols prepare teams to contain, investigate and recover from any breach. Education and training foster a culture of awareness, minimizing human error. By considering these factors, organizers can effectively evaluate and implement security to protect their events. 

For consultants, Anna suggests gaining relevant education and experience, developing specialized skills, networking, and pursuing certifications. She notes perimeter security and executive consulting share a client-focused approach, risk analysis, communication skills, and strategic problem-solving. 

Anna Reahl and Reahl Consulting epitomize the fusion of structure and chaos, transforming challenges into opportunities.
