Defining the Risks

Navistar, Inc. (NYSE: NAV) is a holding company whose wholly owned subsidiaries produce International® brand commercial and military vehicles, MaxxForce® brand diesel engines, IC Bus brand school and commercial buses and Workhorse® brand chassis for motor homes and step vans. The company also provides truck and diesel engine parts, as well as financing services.

As a Senior Regional Security Manager, Terry Lucier is responsible for conducting vulnerability assessments for all company locations.

Developing Solutions

Lucier and his team have worked with CAP Index’s CRIMECAST® Reports for five years. Serving multiple purposes, the reports are utilized for selecting sites, ranking and comparing locations, and providing an overall risk rating for each Navistar facility.

The department also uses CAP Index’s statistical data to substantiate the need for various levels of security controls, such as access control and closed-circuit television (CCTV).

Results

Lucier notes that CAP Index data serves as the “last piece of the puzzle” in a comprehensive formula for developing the crime risk rating of each Navistar facility.

He says, “[CAP Index reports provide] the necessary information to objectively make decisions on the level of security required for a facility…and if a [location is deemed too] high risk, security is able to obtain the necessary funding to enhance security controls [and] protect the workforce and assets of the company.”
