Costs for Hostage Rescue Services

Private hostage rescue services for an ongoing hostage situation start at $30,000 per day and can easily escalate as high as $50,000 to $100,000 per day or higher, depending upon the location and complexity of the operation.

Our hostage rescue teams are second to none, comprised of former operators from the US Military Special Operations community and select US Federal agencies who possess the unique and elite skill sets and experience required for such complex and high-risk operations.

For added insurance, we recommend our Hyperion Black Card which gives you immediate coverage in the event of an emergency as well as the flexibility to apply your funds towards our full suite of security services.

Kidnap Prevention Services

Hostage rescues are extremely high-risk and time-sensitive operations and, therefore, are the most expensive of all security services. Avoiding a hostage situation is far less costly and less risky than the alternative.

For this reason, we highly recommend our kidnap prevention services when traveling to high-threat environments where kidnapping and extortion situations are common.

Hyperion protects ultra-high net worth individuals, corporate executives, and dignitaries in the world’s most dangerous environments.

Phases of a Hostage Rescue Operation

The initial phase can be brief and violent because it only goes for the length of time of the attack that hostage-takers make to subdue their hostage(s). The initial phase ends with demands being made.

The final stage is brief and can sometimes be violent. This phase has three possible end-results:

  1. The hostage-takers are arrested after surrendering peacefully
  2. The hostage-takers are killed or assaulted by the rescue team before being arrested
  3. The demands are met, and the hostage-takers escape

The fate of the hostages doesn’t always depend on how the final phase is completed.

When this phase happens, it’s usually because law enforcement or a private mediator has arrived and they have acknowledged the demands of the hostage-taker.

This phase can last days, hours, or even months and is often called “the standoff phase.” Nothing much changes about the physical description of the scene greatly because the hostages and hostage-taker are in the same place.

However, there are many things that happen during the negotiation phase in terms of emotional relationships that develop between everyone involved in the situation. This is when the negotiator comes in and tries to manipulate the relationships that are made in a way that makes the situation end peacefully.
