Prevent Advisors, a stand-alone security consulting company owned by Oak View Group and boasting Bill Bratton, well-known law enforcement leader as chairman of the board and equity partner, is off and running.

The firm, which has been hinted at previously, formed in August with two military special ops pros, Chris Robinette and Ben Tolle, as CEO and COO respectively. They have spent the past three months researching the venue industry’s needs and forming a holistic approach to the growing concerns regarding security and counterterrorism.

Tim Leiweke, OVG founder and CEO, said Prevent Advisors “is driven by our partners in the alliance and ultimately talking about a relentless commitment toward convenience and safety.” He was referring to the 24 major arenas that make up OVG’s Arena Alliance, including three primary research sites for the new firm – Madison Square Garden, New York; BB&T Center, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and the Forum, Inglewood, Calif.
