Introducing Emails from The Watch Office
Helping You Stay Left of Bang with Less Noise and More Clarity
In today’s world—where local incidents can have global ripple effects, and national threats can emerge with little warning—access to timely, relevant information isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
At The CP Journal, we’ve always believed that staying left of bang—prepared, proactive, and positioned to both prevent or respond to a crisis before it occurs—begins with situational awareness. But we’ve also seen the challenge professionals face in achieving that awareness in a meaningful way. The problem isn’t a lack of information. It’s the overwhelming flood of it.
Too Much Noise, Not Enough Signal
While technology has made information more accessible than ever, that same access has created a new burden: sifting through fragmented updates from dozens (or hundreds) of websites, sources, and feeds to find what actually matters.
For many public safety, corporate security, and emergency management organizations, that’s become a full-time job—one that’s often inconsistent, expensive, or simply out of reach for lean teams with competing priorities.
That’s Why We’re Launching Emails from the Watch Office
We created the Watch Office to solve a problem we were facing ourselves. We needed a way to cut through the noise, focus on forward-looking events, and give ourselves and our clients a true understanding of the risks we and they might encounter in the days ahead.
And now, we’re making it available to you. We are also offering a discount to new subscribers as we launch this service (information below).
Email from The CP Journal’s Watch Office is your weekly, no-work-required threat and hazard briefing—delivered straight to your inbox. Each report blends the best of modern technology and human analysis to give you a clear, curated view of the risk landscape for a (growing) list of cities or regions across the county as well as a national report to support decision-making.
Designed for Decision-Makers
Each report is structured with you—the user—in mind. We know that some weeks will be quiet, and that’s a good thing. But when risks do emerge, whether it’s a single major event or the accumulation of several smaller ones, you’ll be in the know.
We start every report with a Bottom Line Up Front: a concise summary across seven key threat categories, so you can quickly scan what’s happening. If you want to dive deeper, the full report is right there, organized for easy navigation and operational relevance.
We do this by blending sources from traditional media, independent analysts, and open-source intelligence to create something that’s both comprehensive and actionable. And we’re just getting started. Since the beginning of our beta testing, we have been continuously improving each report (and have no plans of stopping!).
Accessible. Shareable. All-Inclusive.
Unlike many other similar services, a subscription to our Watch Office emails isn’t expensive, restricted, or overly complicated to customize.
If awareness of potential threats is a gap in your organization, we built this for you.
One subscription gives you access to all of the reports we publish each week as well as all of the other resources included in our Academy.
Our reports are delivered to your inbox, empowering you to share any report with colleagues and partners by simply forwarding the email and adding your commentary. No special app or login is required.
Through your account page, you can easily add or remove the reports you receive by email each week.
