The Columbus-based organization owned by Dustin Randall and Tony Casper, is helping Prime Secured to continue its mission of providing 360 degrees of total security to its clients and their employees.
Safe Passage Consulting seeks to mitigate workplace violence through organizational security training and security management consultations. With ten staff members holding over 150 years of combined experience in military and police roles, Safe Passage has trained more than 70,000 individuals on active shooter scenarios, de-escalation, disaster response and more.

“Our new partnership with Safe Passage is groundbreaking,” said Prime Communications Executive Vice President, Steve Kanne, “with the potential to create amazing amounts of synergy in the sphere of physical security. The work we do at Prime is important, especially in today’s world where acts of violence and destruction are prevalent. But now, with Safe Passage, we are better-equipped to offer our clients a comprehensive solution that includes identification of vulnerabilities and development of a plan to mitigate risk with electronic security countermeasures.”

Prime’s Business Continuity Update
Employees Working Remotely
Our teams are well equipped to perform their job functions remotely through our proactive measures by providing remote workstations, softphone capabilities, VPN access, internet bandwidth, and access to required applications for colleagues.
Limited Travel
We have eliminated all unnecessary travel and have either rescheduled face to face meetings or have conducted virtual meetings instead. As we continue to operate the business, we’ve taken action in our dispatching to avoid sending employees to areas that are designated quarantine or containment zones as designated by the CDC or local health authorities. We will continue to work in all other areas as usual.
The health and safety of our colleagues, their families, and our communities are the highest priority. We are encouraging everyone to follow the preventive measures recommended by the CDC to stay healthy and slow the spread of the virus, including:
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- No handshakes
- Minimize large group meeting
- If you are feeling sick or one of your family members has become sick stay home or work remotely if possible
- Essential travel only
- Follow CDC guidelines
Prime Communications is well-positioned and prepared to work through this pandemic. As we execute this plan and work through these unprecedented times, we ask for your patience. We will continue to communicate often of any updates and other measures we’re taking as the situation progresses.
