AMERICAN RAPTOR SECURITY (ARS)
Sexual Harassment & Assault Prevention Policy
Adopted pursuant to RCW 49.60.515 and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60)
1. Policy Statement
American Raptor Security ("ARS" or the "Company") is committed to providing a work environment free
from sexual harassment and sexual assault for every employee, including guards who work alone or without a
coworker present ("isolated employees"). This policy applies to all ARS employees, supervisors, managers,
owners, and qualifying agents, and to all work locations, client sites, vehicles, and company-sponsored
events.
Sexual harassment and sexual assault are violations of Washington law, including the Washington Law
Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60) and RCW 49.60.515, and violate ARS's core values. ARS will not
tolerate such conduct by anyone in the workplace, including supervisors, coworkers, clients, contractors,
vendors, or members of the public encountered while on duty.
2. Who This Policy Covers
This policy covers all ARS employees, including full-time, part-time, temporary, and on-call security guards,
armed and unarmed, whether assigned to a fixed post, mobile patrol, or event work. Special attention is given
to "isolated employees" — guards whose duties are regularly performed alone or in a setting without another
coworker present — consistent with the protections required under RCW 49.60.515.
