BOSTON - (Business Wire) With more than 20,000 global kidnappings every year, companies need to take seriously the risk posed to employees and their family members. In response to this need, Liberty International Underwriters (LIU), a division of Liberty Mutual Group, has expanded its product recall crisis management contract with red24, a leader in global security assistance, to give brokers and their clients access to an experienced kidnap, ransom and extortion (KRE) consulting and response team.
The expanded relationship with red24 was announced today at LIU’s Global Crisis Management Forum held in New York City.
LIU KRE policyholders will have access to red24’s services lead by Jack Cloonan, a retired FBI Special Agent who was the Senior Case Agent on the New York Anti-Terrorism Task Force and participated in multiple high profile investigations over the last decade.

Working with red24, LIU’s Global Crisis Management experts will help brokers provide the specialized loss control engineering and loss mitigation services necessary to protect clients’ employees, operations and reputation before, during and after a crisis.
