Executive and Close Protection®
 At this most critical time in our world's history, the need for specialized protective services is at an all time high. This is due to the extreme rise in malicious criminal activity and terrorist incidents, kidnappings and assassinations, workplace violence, stalking and emotional domestic situations. Once reserved for only the most affluent leaders in political and social status, the protection industry has grown to include personal and team protection for individuals, private families and children, corporate officers, celebrities, city mayors and state governors, visiting dignitaries, senior law enforcement officials and judicial witnesses. Executive protection, in its truest form, is unlike any other discipline within law enforcement, military and security operations.
I n years past, it may have been common to hire an executive protection agent or “bodyguard” simply from the ranks of military and law enforcement communities. In the Post-9/11 environment, protective services have taken on new importance and today's employers are looking for ways to increase their security posture and avoid human losses. Most companies have recognized the need to hire qualified, experienced personnel who exhibit strong talents but must have the proper executive protection training.
