Welcome to Eques Group

  

Why the Eques Group? It was no accident that the founding partners chose Eques. It is the Latin word for “Knight.” The Knight  was expected to have not only the strength and skills to face combat in  the violent era of the Middle Ages, but was also expected to temper  this aggressive side with a chivalrous side to his nature. The ideals  described were emphasized by the oaths and vows that were sworn in the  Knighthood Ceremonies, much like the Oath a Police Officer takes today.  The virtues of the Knights of King Arthur’s Court are the same as today: To  serve citizens with valor, to protect the weak and defenseless and  fight for the welfare of all, to live with honor, obey authority and to  always speak the truth.

The Eques Group’s  approach to risk management was developed through decades of  experience working within the law enforcement profession. We use  research-based, evidence-based and field-proven methods to offer our  clients practical, rational and sound risk management solutions. The Eques Group’s  approach goes beyond certification and verification. With direct input  from our clients we assist with the development of policies,  implementation and monitoring of the processes to help meet or exceed  established standards of professional law enforcement.
