If you commit these pages to memory… put the ideas into practice…
and develop a low-key and nice disposition, you’ll be way ahead of
the competition. Combine that, with a solid set of hand-to-hand skills
and verbal de-escalation abilities – and you’ll hear the words “You’re
Hired” as an entry level agent or “You’re Accepted” by a big name
school. Stay safe and good luck! – Brian K. Allen

Welcome to the World of Executive Protection

As an executive protection agent, you could work
internationally or stay in your own country. You could work as a
celebrity bodyguard, as a corporate protection agent, or as a private
agent protecting a wealthy client, etc. You also have opportunities to
work as a personal travel escort or sensitive asset courier. You will
have exciting days and you will have very boring days. No matter
how you look at it... this industry is fantastic, challenging and
interesting in every way!

You see... this industry is cloaked in mystery to most people.

What I intend to do with this course is un-cloak (did I just make up a
word?) our industry for you. I've found that people who've been on
the job for a couple of years sometimes don't fully understand our
industry. This can be corrected very quickly if we instill a "Constant
and Never Ending Improvement" mindset in our team mates and co-
workers. For a lot of agents, all it would take is reading one or two
books (written by EP experts) at least two times... to open their eyes
and really see this career for what it is.

Our goal is to be PROFESSIONAL! We can become this way

by studying our craft and constantly
improving our attributes. Too often I "Any coward can fight a battle
see agents focusing 100% on their when he's sure of winning, but
give me a man who has pluck
power lifting or shooting skills and
to fight when he's sure of
then placing those accomplishments losing."
on their resumes. I've interviewed a
lot of people who fit that mold and - George Eliot
had to make the decision not to hire

Version 15 Page 4 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 5 of 65

them because they were missing the essence of our profession.

Now, that doesn't mean that they were "bad" agents or employees...
it just means they haven't been trained properly yet.

YOU will be trained properly! My goal is to provide you with

the information necessary to develop the skills & abilities that will
place you in the top 10% of this field.

So... what is Executive Protection? It's an industry made up of

modern day samurai's who protect their "client" or "principle" from
bodily harm, embarrassment, or even things that put delays in their
schedule. In Rob Oatman's book, "The Art of Executive Protection",
he states... "Anyone can protect anyone." This is mostly true as long
as that person has the ability, skills & resources to do so. You don't
have to be a 20 year police or military veteran to succeed in this
field. As long as you have a positive attitude, low key demeanor, and
can get along with people on all levels... you can succeed!!!

So, welcome to our world! It's been very good to me and I

know it will be for you!

Verbal De-escalation Considerations

Our main mission in Executive & VIP Protection is to prevent
intentional or unintentional acts of harm from reaching our client.

In addition, we need to protect and improve (whenever

possible) our client's reputation. Every time we interact with people
on our clients’ behalf... we have the opportunity to do just that! Now,
when "steering" an overly anxious fan away or removing a trespasser
from the property... a most important skill we need to utilize is Verbal
De-escalation. This becomes extremely important when the person
we're dealing with is threatening us physically or berating us verbally.

Version 15 Page 5 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 6 of 65

We have to keep our cool, watch our language, and be aware

of our body language. I've seen some veteran agents deflect punches
from angry spectators... take their verbal cussing... wrap them up
physically without hitting them... and remove them from the area! All
this gets done without throwing the idiot a "Bouncer Beating"! ☺

I challenge you to study the material below. Even if you've

gone through similar training in the past... do it again! These
instructors are among the best in this area, and you will learn
something new every time we're exposed to their material.

Are You A "Super Nanny"? Why Not?

O.K. - So you're a trained and reputable EP Agent. You have
about 5 years experience. You train in martial arts daily and are in
great shape. You can name 10 terrorist organizations (and their
methods) off the top of your head. You have a great haircut and
really cool sunglasses! ☺

That's all great, but why should I pick you over the other 50
guys I've found with the same qualifications? What if I'm going to
assign you to watch my children? Are you qualified to watch my
kids? More importantly, are you REALLY GOOD working with children
and are they comfortable with you?

One way to answer yes to those questions is to obtain

professional training in the babysitting & nanny areas. People laugh
at me sometimes when I mention this, but you need to sit up straight
& listen. YOU are a PRODUCT & SERVICE! That being the case, you

Version 15 Page 6 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 7 of 65

need to improve your "Price to Value" ratio and have a "Unique

Selling Proposition" or USP.

There are plenty of tough & trained agents out there... but
not so many "polished" folks that have the training I've mentioned.
For more info, check out the resources below and take a serious look
at adding to your skill sets!

Training in this area is not common for the professional

bodyguard... and admittingly, not mandatory. However, since WHEN
are we about "the minimum standard"???

Anticipating Loss Probability For Your Client

In the safety disciplines, whether we're focused on

Occupational Safety (i.e. - Lock out / Tag out or Slip & Fall) or VIP
Protection (i.e. Protective Details or Facility Security) - there is a cycle

Version 15 Page 7 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 8 of 65

that we must continuously operate through. In that cycle, there are

three main functions that pertain to evaluating loss probability.
Those functions are: 1.) Recognize 2.) Evaluate and 3.) Control
hazards and/or threats.

The tool we use is a "survey" or “threat assessment”. This is

often a preprinted form that has hopefully been customized for your
specific need, client or facility. Specific to the survey process are
three functions:

Measurement

Conducting a survey / audit to determine

a.) the nature of potential vulnerabilities and
b.) whether or not current policies and goals are
being met.

Evaluation

The determination of how the situation and/or

survey results can be applied to counteract the
vulnerabilities.

Correction

The tasks & improvements that are applied as a result

of the evaluation.

The measurement, evaluation, and correction process is

reflected in the following key survey questions:

1.) What is the evidence of the existence of a security vulnerability?

(Measurement)

Version 15 Page 8 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 9 of 65

2.) How critical is this vulnerability to the safety of corporate

personnel and their dependants as well as continued operation of the
Corporation. (Evaluation)

3.) What level of security is needed to neutralize the vulnerability?

(Correction)

There are five required steps to the implementation of the

survey process:

1.) Planning and designing survey procedures.

2.) Designing the survey format.
3.) Conducting the survey. (Threat assessment)
4.) Preparing recommendations.
5.) Implementing Recommendations.

When survey recommendations are designed they must

reflect the corporate security policy if applicable. In addition, when
designed - a survey should include all areas of: physical and personal
assets; along with information that is vulnerable to any form of
internal or external threats.

In conclusion, run a self check and stay aware of how well

you are assessing your client's vulnerabilities.

Is Your Threat Assessment Complete?

Add these questions to your Threat Assessment:

1.) What is my client's race?

... Religion?
... Skin Color?
... Political Affiliation?
... Moral Beliefs?
... Occupational Industry?

Version 15 Page 9 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 10 of 65

... Name of Company?

... Favorite Charity / Cause?

2.) Who or what group may want to harm my client because of the
above?

3.) What is my client's temperament? Is he/she aggressive when

confronted... or mild mannered and calm?

Why these questions?

It's very easy for an agent (especially us "Solo Operators") to

get caught up in the "overt" threat that caused the client to call us in
the 1st place:

a.) HR Director is threatened by former employee

b.) Woman is being stalked by Ex-lover

However, a professional understands that most of the time,

our clients are just as much at risk from crimes of opportunity... as
they are the obvious threat. Make sure you look at the Big Picture
and provide your client with a first rate threat assessment. It may
save their life... and will definitely make you look like a TRUE
PROFESSIONAL!

A.C.E. - Alert, Cover and Evacuate

This "tool" is great for helping us to remember what to do

when our client is exposed to a threat. The concept is a simple
one... yet can be forgotten or just ignored if an agent is of the wrong
temperament or hasn't been trained properly.

For example, if a drunken individual in a club is involved in an

argument with a person sitting in proximity to our client... an
appropriate response may be:

Version 15 Page 10 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 11 of 65

1.) Notify the team of the threat.

(Hand & arm signals should be o.k. in this scenario)
2.) Position yourself between the drunk and your client.
3.) Have a team member ask Club management to have the
person removed and/or move to a better location in the bar.

That's A.C.E. in a small yet more probable scenario.

A larger scenario may be if you're protecting a Human

Resources Director at a speaking engagement. During her speech - a
former employee (who blames her for a recent layoff) attempts to
attack her with a firearm. As the first team member spots the threat,
an appropriate response may be:

1.) Notify the team of the threat.

(Shout GUN - 3 o'clock!)
2.) Shield the client with your body.
Use the "Bend & Turn" technique and...
3.) Evacuate using a predetermined route with the team forming a
"Spartan Circle" around the AIC and the client during the move!

That's A.C.E. in a nutshell. Try to come up with different

scenarios and determine how you and your team would respond.

W.A.R. - Within Arms Reach

This "tool" helps us to do two basic things:

1.) Focus our hand-to-hand combat studies.

2.) Make the decision on "who" we make contact with during a
threatening encounter.

The first is simple. Although we develop great skill (and have

fun) working on our high kicks and spinning movements... they have
very limited value when working a protective mission.

Version 15 Page 11 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 12 of 65

Instead, we need to be experts at our deflection and jamming

techniques... followed by joint locking & pressure points. Tony
Blauer says that a real fight happens in the space of a phone booth...
or in our terms - W.A.R.!

Second, it helps in decision making. Unless my team has a

SOP that dictates different – I can use W.A.R. to decide what to do
during an attack.

For example, if my team is walking our client down a "meet

and greet" line... and a knife wielding attacker jumps out towards our
client - what should I do?

Well... who is W.A.R.? The client or the bad guy? If the

client is... I will "C" or cover him - thus shielding from the attack.

If the bad guy is W.A.R. - I will intercept and smother him...

allowing my team to evacuate the client. This may be why we've
been called "human shields" or "bullet catchers"! 

Is Kidnap & Ransom Insurance Real?

Yes! This insurance is available from a few insurers around

the globe. Most policies are written by Lloyds of London... according
to my information.

In today’s world we're seeing more kidnappings occurring

where the bad guys are demanding an "action" of some type (i.e.
Leave the country, free the prisoners, etc.) But still – ransom is
present and the topic of insurance is a big one. (Except in Latin
America)

How would you like to a decision maker with these two

options:

a.) Pay the ransom & hope the bad guys return our VIP.

Version 15 Page 12 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 13 of 65

or

b.) Send / hire a rescue team & hope we get our VIP back.

There are pro's and con's to paying ransom. Just remember,

every situation is different and the specifics of the situation combined
with an impact analysis will be the two main factors when a company
is placed in this type of horrible situation.

A great note about insurance companies is that they often

have surveys and checklists available for their clients. These are a
great tool for you to use. I've worked with people in the past that
didn't like insurance survey's at all because they exceeded what was
required by law or company policy - and those counter measures cost
$$$. They also say the surveys are geared toward saving the
insurance companies money. Maybe those concerns are valid,
however if the by-product of following the insurance companies
recommendations equals a safer VIP... it needs to be considered -
PERIOD!

Diamond Formation

The "Diamond Formation" is the basic formation used in EP

work. It is very flexible in a couple of different ways. First it can
simply open wide or close in tight depending on how many people
are around. Second it can quickly change into a wedge or box
formation when needed. Finally, assigning ‘areas of responsibilities’
(AOR's) is very simple in this formation... even when changing
directions / roles.

Version 15 Page 14 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 15 of 65

One thing to remember is this, all formations should adjust to

"accommodate the practical and political realities" your client is
involved in. Whenever an agent cannot be placed between your client
and fans/onlookers... ensure that each person approaching and
leaving your client is under complete observation.

Foundations of Physical Security

Security Fundamentals & Concepts

It can be very easy for those of us working in standard detail

assignments to slow our learning curve and just focus on our day in
& day out responsibilities. But this is not for you! You want to be the
type of agent that can articulate the concepts outlined below... on
the spur of a moment. That spur of a moment may often be during a
conversation with a potential client when bidding on a job.

I mean no disrespect, but a lot of the agents I've worked with

base their whole "Reason To Hire Me" on their distant past. Our past
is very important and all of us bring a unique 'life-history' to this
profession. However, in order to stay at in the top 10% of EP Agents
out there, we must combine our previous life-history with our current
knowledge (and ability to articulate that...) along with impeccable
customer service & a pleasant (not gung-ho) demeanor. Remember,
when tooting your own horn... be able to tell the potential client,
"This is what I did years ago & this is what I'm doing today!"

Below are some concepts that you can use to enhance your
understanding of the security profession. I know for some of you, it
will be a review... which is always good for us!

Version 15 Page 15 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 16 of 65

Security Program "Musts"

When complete, our security or protection program must do

these five things:

Deter... the bad guy from attempting to

compromise our client. Also known as 'Harden
the Target'

Detect... any attempt of a compromise

Delay... the bad guys once they've begun

their attack.

Alert... the Control Room & others as

appropriate

Respond... the C.A.T (Counter Assault Team)

and authorities if appropriate.

"The Seven Components of the Security Process"

As the Detail Leader or Security Mgr of a site... you must

survey and develop your security programs continually. Easy to say...
hard to do when the day-to-day activities are kick'n our butts! The
model below can assist you... when combined with good scheduling
practices and a pre-planned annual calendar.

1.) Threat Assessment

2.) Risk Assessment
3.) Asset Determination
4.) Prevention - Develop Countermeasures
5.) Evaluate Countermeasures
6.) Develop Contingencies

Version 15 Page 16 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 17 of 65

7.) Evaluate Contingencies

8.) Cycle Back To #1

Rings Of Security

The rings of security will have a different meaning to the

person assigned as AIC (Agent in Charge) of a person as opposed to
the Shift Leader in charge of Resident or Facility Security. Review the
differences below and see if & how they can be used to improve your
assignment.

"AIC, working with the Principal"

• Inner Ring (Principle)

• Middle Ring (Agents around AIC)
• Outer Ring (Uniforms & Presence / Law Enforcement)

"Residence or Facility"

• Inner Ring; Special Controlled Areas / Items

• Middle Ring; Access To Facility; From Doors, Gates, Windows,
to the property line fence or wall.
• Outer Ring: From the Property line [Fences, Walls, (CPTED)] to
One Mile Radius Around Your Property.

Small Airports - Sticking To The Basics!

When looking at the security industry as a whole, there seems

to be a huge variance in knowledge and skills between front-line
personnel and management. This gap is one that can be easily
improved on by consistently training the staff. Large in-service
training programs are not needed most of the time. Simple drills...
combined with short quizzes can do the trick. (Especially when the
top scoring folks are recognized...)

Version 15 Page 17 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 18 of 65

My experience in a number of cases, is that management

sometimes wants to "horde" the good info for themselves. Whether
this is due to insecurity or a belief that their staff isn't interested - is
of no matter. The bottom line is that in today’s dynamic world -
security folks AT ALL LEVELS need to be adequately trained.

If you supervise security staff in any way... please "lead"

them, don't just "manage" them. We lead by guiding, training, and
demonstrating by example when appropriate. One person who is a
true leader in the industry is Robert Garner, CPP.

Robert has put together a basic manual that is specific to

small airports - and makes it available on his website... at no charge!
Please study his manual, found here:

www.crimewise.com/airport/manual.pdf

While a lot of security manuals have great information... at

times the info isn't usable on a daily basis. Robert’s manual is
different! He has eliminated all the fluff, but more importantly - has
arranged his material in perfect order. This greatly increases the
reader’s interest and retention.

After studying the manual, consider using it as a discussion

piece during training breaks... briefings... or guard mounts.

Personal Security Considerations

Your clients’ personal security should be your #1 priority.

That may seem obvious... but why then do a lot of agents ignore the
idea of "training" their client's?

During "down time" - I believe it is crucial to train your client.

This can be a challenge sometimes because the client may not be
interested in "training". Still, it is our job to consistently attempt to
educate him or her. If the client says... "I don't want to be trained...

Version 15 Page 18 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 19 of 65

that's why I have you!" You should reply with something to the effect
of, "Yes, and I am well prepared to keep you out of harms way.
However, if I'm eliminated, I want you to have the highest probability
of survival... and training will allow us to have that.” (Obviously, you
should change the verbiage to words that reflect your own style.)

I have found that 5 minute "mini trainings" work GREAT!

They are pre-planned and thought out sessions. However, since they
are so short... they can be held whenever the opportunity presents
itself. Some of you may know this as "opportunity" or "ad hoc"
training.

The best way to do this is to do it by NOT telling the principle

they are being trained. One way that has worked for me in the past
is to ask the client for a quick moment of their time. When granted,
I'd follow-up with something like, "Sir, I recently heard of a situation
where "fill in the blank" happened. Due to the fact that you and I are
in a similar situation... I wanted to discuss a plan of action with you
and get your input." Even though you've stated you'd like their
input... 99% of the time, they'll just agree and abide by what you
instruct them. I'll then proceed with a quick presentation on how we
will respond if "fill in the blank" happens.

Future mini-trainings may just be a review & quiz of a past

training. The bottom line is this... educate your client whenever
appropriate. One agent told me that I would "de-value" my services
by training my clients... and possibly lose a contract extension. That's
JUNK and don't believe it. Steven Segal, Sly Stallone, and Mike Tyson
can protect themselves just fine... but they have still utilized EP
agents. Why? Because we make their life safer... and easier!!!

Training or Educating our clients WILL increase their

survivability chances. Surviving isn't always pretty... but when the
stuff hits the fan... it's all that matters.

Ideas for mini-trainings:

Version 15 Page 19 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 20 of 65

1.) Code Words & Phrases

2.) Hand & Arm Signals Between Agent & Client
3.) Hand To Hand Combat
4.) Verbal Skills / Conflict De-escalation

How To Determine Threat Level’s

Prior to accepting an assignment or job, you have to
determine the "Threat Level". Once determined, the threat level will
affect how much you charge the client... what resources you'll need...
or even a decision NOT to accept the job.

This information will come from a three stage process. The

first stage is an interview with the client. This is when they will tell
you the reasons they need protection and the scope of work that is
expected.

I want to caution you here... the client may lie to you about
the dangers of the job! I learned this from a Bodyguard Instructor a
long time ago named Bill Ungerman. (His
"A terrorist has to be
course also taught me how the threat
lucky only once! We
have to be lucky all the assessments work...) That means you need
time!!!" to interview the potential client as much as
they are interviewing you. Why would they
- All Of Us lie? Well... so that you won't charge as
much or if money is not an issue... maybe
they're afraid you won't accept the job if you know how dangerous it
is!?

Version 15 Page 20 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 21 of 65

That's where the second phase will help you. This phase is
intelligence gathering. Conduct an investigation on everything the
client told you in the interview. After you're done collecting facts,
you'll move into the third phase.

Phase three is just a follow-up with the client to clear up any

open items. Below are the four threat levels as they were taught to
me:

Level One:
No contact is expected, but if contact is made… less-lethal force
will be used.

Level Two:
Contact is strictly less-lethal. (Threats of violence, Personal
travel escort to concerts, bars, etc.)

Level Three:
Must have weapons involved; Deadly force is a probable option.

Level Four:
Contact is obvious or unavoidable. Most third world countries or
situations dealing with known violent criminals. Semi and
Automatic rifles will be necessary.

After you have your threat level assessed, it's time to write up
the contract and go to work! This is just a brief overview but re-read
this article and put it to memory. A lot of agents don't do this!

Important Client Information

One of the most important things an agent can do is put
together a Client Information File. I start the process by having my
clients complete a questionnaire as soon as I'm hired or assigned to

Version 15 Page 21 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 22 of 65

them. An interesting item to note is that my experience has shown

me that 80% of the agents out there do NOT do this.

An agent that can request this information and receive it, is a

true professional. This is very personal information and confidentiality
is paramount! So when presenting this questionnaire to the client or
his admin, you must do so in a confident manner and "expect" them
to comply with your wishes.

Having this information will allow you to elevate the service

you provide exponentially. And remember... we are in the "service"
business! Not only will having this information allow you to assist in
making the clients days progress in a smooth & efficient manner...
but should a kidnapping ever occur, you can verify his/her voice,
prints, blood type, handwriting, etc. Having this information on hand
will assist any investigator (Law Enforcement or Insurance, etc.) save
huge amounts of time in locating your principle.

The more info below that you're able to obtain... the more
you can assist with estate matters if appropriate. This often times
allows your client to stay back in more secure locations while you
have other folks handle nuisance matters.

I've included a list of items that I learned from Jerry

Glazebrook... one of the most professional instructors I've ever met. I
hope it helps you as much as it has me! Place this info in your file
and you'll be on your way.

Essential Wardrobe Considerations

This topic was never really covered for me in my Military
training... and was covered in depth in my education from Executive
Security International. But the best "Quick Overview" on the matter

Version 15 Page 24 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 25 of 65

that I'd ever received was from a course put on by Roger Hair and
his company... Hawk East, Inc. (I highly recommend you purchase
their “Bodyguard For Hire” video series.)

This information is made up from the notes I collected from

that course and my field experience. The topic of "Wardrobe" isn't
the most exciting for agents... but it's more important than running
around with an ear-piece shooting an automatic rifle, like some
schools have you do. I saw a video where veteran instructor Tom
Carter said he'd rather see a student spend a couple hundred $$$ on
a good suit than a hand gun! I agree, because more than 1/2 of my
assignments are not appropriate for carrying a weapon.

Wardrobe Considerations

Unless you work for a 3rd party company that provides

Executive Protection... you may wonder, "What should I wear while
providing EP services to my client?" Most 3rd party companies have
details wearing nice slacks & shirts with coat and tie. When running
your own company however, you'll quickly find out that your
wardrobe needs to run the full spectrum of styles & colors. In my
case, if you were to follow me for a 7 day period... you would see me
go from (1) khaki shorts w/ball cap & baggy shirt (covering my
concealed weapon, pepper spray and impact weapon) to (2) Polo
shirt & Dockers to (3) Shirt and tie. In addition, sometimes I wear
glasses and sometimes I don't. You'll have to figure out your different
"looks" and most importantly... follow the #1 rule:

"Dress like the client - but not better!"

If you're like me and need help picking out clothes ☺, ask the
sales person at the store or just look at the manikins. Here are a
couple of quick tips given by Veteran Agent - Thomas Carter:

1.) No double breasted suits.

Version 15 Page 25 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 26 of 65

• Trying to draw a weapon of any type from a double

breasted suit is difficult.
• Leaving a double breasted jacket open looks sloppy, while
a single breasted jacket can be left open for easy weapon
/ radio access and still look presentable.

2.) A $400 wool blend suit will serve you well, because it won't
wrinkle as bad. Look at someone who's wearing a different type
as they get out of a car and notice how their back looks.

3.) Shoes - NO Loafers! If you try running with these puppies

on, you just may have an embarrassing moment... and possible
a deadly one if you're trying to evacuate the principle from
danger. Veteran EP agent Thomas Carter recommends
RockPorts. I've also had good experience with RockPorts,
Sketchers and Dockers.

Equipment Considerations

1.) Communications - Ensure you have cell phones or radios that

work! Also, make sure all agents have matching phone # rosters.

2.) Firearms - O.k., for handguns Glock, Smith & Wesson, and
Springfield. That should cover that. Shotguns are also extremely
valuable. I often disagree with people when they say a 12 gauge is
the only type to get. Although this is an awesome weapon, and also
the one I was "raised" with in the Military... I also know the benefits
of a 20 gauge (with twice the knock down power of a .45 hand gun)
in a residential setting. So be open-minded and consider your
application along with penetration ranges beyond your target.

3.) Less-lethal Weapons - You will wrestle & push more people than
you will fight. You will fight more people than you will shoot. That
being the case, become an expert in less-lethal weapons! Pepper
spray, electronic stun weapons, audible body alarms, and impact

Version 15 Page 26 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 27 of 65

weapons. Practice the "draw" and use of these weapons from

different locations & wardrobes often.

4.) Kevlar

• Vests are an obvious choice. Shop around and ask fellow

agents or police officers what they prefer and why.

• Portable plates! Not so common, but very useful when your

clothing won't allow a vest. (Accompanying the client to a swim
party, BBQ, etc.) Inserting a Kevlar plate into a briefcase,
beach bag, or backpack will allow you to hold the item up... in
between the client and the threat during an evacuation.

5.) Lights

• The most underestimated weapon that I've seen is a light! A

flashlight shining in the eyes of a threat can provide valuable
time during a client evacuation. The same goes for a high
powered spotlight in your car! If a bad guy pulls near you in
their vehicle... shining a flood light (min. 5 million candle
power) in the drivers face will disorient him / her in a major
way. Small flashlights (1000 lumens) with a blinking feature
are excellent as well.

6.) Knives

• Self defense
• Utility; Saw blade.

NOTE: One job is to educate the principle on these items and try to
convince him / her to gain knowledge of these items. This will be
very important if you, the agent... are removed from the picture!

TRIBUTE: Tom Carter was killed in the line of duty in early 2004. He
was protecting US interests overseas. He was a civilian executive
protection agent, a professional trainer, a special forces & delta
operator and a family man. He will be missed.

The "Best" Shotgun Question

On a couple occasions, I've been asked - "Brian, what

shotgun is the best for EP work?" First of all - I want to point out that
I am not an Expert in the area of shotguns. That being said, I have
been using them for years in both the Military & Civilian arenas. My
qualifications for shotguns were obtained for my work as a Military
Policeman, Corrections Specialist, SRT Member and EP agent. Those
qualifications were earned on standard ranges as well as combat
courses.

Because my personal opinion has always been different from

my friends (who are NRA certified instructors) - I've been quiet on
the issue. However, since it hasn't changed... I'll pass it along now.

My favorite shotgun for EP work is a 20 gauge (you research

your own manufacturer) with a modified or improved modified
choke... using Target Load shells. Yes... I said a 20 gauge. ☺

All my life, I've had to qualify with the 12 gauge and honestly,
most of my friends prefer the 12 gauge. However, those folks are not
EP agents. They are:

• Hunters or skeet shooters...

• Men...
• Good sized individuals...
• Range Instructors...

They are not:

• People who are physically weak...

Version 15 Page 28 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 29 of 65

• Shooting injured...
• Shooting while fatigued or out of breath...
• Shooting with fear or adrenaline...

So, when I run this question through my wee-little mind - I

tend to want a weapon that will serve best when:

1.) I am a small or weak shooter

2.) I am injured or fatigued
3.) I am on unstable footing
4.) At my worst!

In my opinion, the answer is the 20 gauge! And guess what?

The experts tell me that my baby shotgun has around TWICE the
knock down power of a .45 ca pistol! Not bad 'eh?

The bottom line is this. Use the weapon that you are trained
on, qualified on, and comfortable with.

Handling Different Assignments

a.) Residence Duty

This duty is most often associated to that of a security guard.

There are more of these positions than all others... and in some
companies, a new agent must "pay his/her dues" before working on
the inner detail.

Always remain professional & diligent while on this type of

assignment. Do not engage in any activity that interferes with the
constant scanning of your areas of responsibility.

A good approach is to silently ask yourself, "What do I see

(pause), hear (pause), or smell?" Also ask yourself, "If I were a bad

Version 15 Page 29 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 30 of 65

guy... how would I attack my position and where am I most

vulnerable?"

In a nutshell... Ensure communications are good... Expect the

unexpected... & observe and report! In this position, you will often
times have contact with fans and the media so always be nice, firm
and fair. One bad or off color comment could embarrass your client
and cost you your job.

b.) Dinner Party / Restaurant

This is a type of assignment that I've done on numerous

occasions. A big factor here is whether or not the client is the
opposite sex or not. And if so, what is your method of "shadowing"
or "following" going to be.

With same or opposite sex clients... I use the "lunch

interview" cover a lot. This allows us to enjoy a meal together and
provides a decent cover story should we run into an acquaintance of
the client, etc.

If the client doesn't want you at the same table, you'll need
the help of the staff to arrange your seating so that your client is in
full view. In addition, you'll have to notify the wait staff to add your
bill to the clients. A lot of times, we'll ask the staff to add a 25%
service charge to the bill as a thank you for their help. Obviously,
prior planning and notification to the client of these types of practices
should occur.

Another thing to plan with the client is how he/she wants you
to handle fans or autograph seekers. Do they want to sign or would
they prefer to be left alone? If they want to be left alone... you must
be ever-so gentle yet firm with the fan. I was taught to carry a
notebook so that when a fan arrives, I can say "Thank you so much
for your support, unfortunately Mr./Mrs. So & So isn't able to say
hello or sign right now... but if you'd leave us your name and address

Version 15 Page 30 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 31 of 65

in this notebook, we'd love to send you an autographed picture...

book... etc." This has worked for me each and every time! Your
patience may be challenged but remember, your clients privacy and
reputation are on the line... so perform like a pro!

c.) Shopping Mall

This can be very relaxed duty... but again planning is

paramount. Is your client of the opposite sex? If so... will you be
following from a distance or will you be their significant other? Are
you a one man detail or do you have a team?

One thing I always recommend is that my client carries an

audible body alarm. This allows me to drop further back and observe.
Also, if your client is a member of the opposite sex... you'll want to
afford them the utmost privacy when they're shopping for personal
items.

If you'll be traveling as a couple, ensure that you agree on

whether or not to hold hands, hug, etc. The last thing you want is
"startled" or "unnatural" reactions between you two.

Finally, be sure to have hand & arm signals along with code-
words between you and your client and your team if applicable.
When trouble shows up... you'll want to evacuate fast but without
creating a stir. Silent signals and code words will help you do this.

Michael Jackson's EP "Inner" Team

The two most challenging positions I've worked in EP are:

1.) Inner Detail & AIC

2.) The Press Box

For this section, I'd like to focus on the inner detail and Agent
in Charge (AIC) challenges. I'd also like for you to reflect back on

Version 15 Page 31 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 32 of 65

the media coverage of the Michael Jackson hearings during the past
few years or so and remember how his security operated.

Like him or not, when Michael was alive, he was probably one
of the biggest "draws" you could work for. Not only that... but
Michael himself was always changing directions on his detail!
Whether it was the "Nation" security team brought in by his brother
or the current team... I've always been impressed by how smoothly
these guards keep up with Michael.

Years ago... I saw what appeared to be the "Prox Agent" or

"AIC" never let Michael get more than a foot away from him after
Michael changed directions at least 5 times while waving to and
thanking his fans. And this gentleman had his hands full carrying an
umbrella for Michael!!! This might seem easy to a novice reader, but
having been in those situations... I can tell you it's more difficult than
it seems.

So, watch the news coverage of high profile hearings

whenever you can... but don't get too caught up in the case itself.
Watch it from an EP Agents' perspective and ask yourself if you'd
handle things the same. Watch the vehicle arrivals (lead car, main
car and chase car); the agent deployment during foot movements;
and receiving lines if any. Watch unexpected challenges presented
by the client also! A good example of this occurred when Michael was
leaving the Sheriff's Dept. and jumped on top of a car to dance and
thank his fans. During this stunt, a very nice "line of sight" was
available for any potential bad guy!

So have fun and see what you can learn!

Fitness Consideration & Workouts

Bottom line – Get In Shape! or Stay In Shape! This course is
for people who want to be in the top 10% of agents available. Sure,

Version 15 Page 32 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 33 of 65

we can get away with letting our age catch up with us. But that’s a
weak person’s answer!!!

Never let your location be an excuse for not working out. “I

can’t get to a gym” is another excuse I hear too much. Instead,
always ask – “How can I workout in this location?” I recommend you
purchase at a minimum - these items:

• Combat Conditioning – Matt Fury

• Any Yoga DVD / Book
• Kettlebells

You don’t have to look like Sly Stallone or The Incredible Hulk
but there is no excuse for having a sloppy physique. Remember,
you’re a PRODUCT!

Here's a routine that can be completed in your hotel room.

Maximum Repetitions = 20
------------------------------------

1. Regular Push-ups
2. Sit-ups / Crunches
3. Alternating Straight Punching
4. Windmill
5. Deep Knee Bends
6. Standing Calf Raises
7. Jumping Jacks
8. Up & Downs / Burpees
9. Hand Grippers
10. Neck Bridges

After completing numbers 1 - 10... rest for 1 minute and then

start over. Try to complete 4 sets!

First Aid & CPR Essentials

1st things first! Cell phone app’s provided by The American

Red Cross are amazing! Ensure you have a First Aid App on your cell
phone!

Because our human minds can go to mush under duress, I

want you to attend a CPR & First Aid course every year… regardless
of what your card ‘expiration’ date is. Try to attend trainings from
different groups such as Red Cross, National Safety Council (NSC),
American Heart Association, ASHI and more. These groups all teach
a little different and no group is better than the other.

Here's a simple way to remember what we need to perform

when CPR is necessary on an adult victim.

*** 2 Breaths – 30 Compressions ***

Breaths are optional in most training agencies… unless you’re

dealing with a child or drowning victim. Get trained from an agency
in your area but remember… you’ll see slights differences in
technique. No big deal! Four year old kids can do this while begin
told what to do by an Emergency Operator…

So remember -

Version 15 Page 35 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 36 of 65

2 Breaths (Depending on situation…)

30 Compressions

... and you'll be on your way to CPR bliss!!!

For First Aid – Remember R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression,

and Elevation) and bleeding control techniques. (Including the
pressure points for slowing bleeding.)

EMERGENCY FIRST AID MINI-COURSE

This First Aid Mini-Course Is Not Intended To Take The Place

Of Qualified Help In The Event Of An Emergency. In Any Emergency,
Always Seek Medical Advice And Assistance When You Think It Is
Needed. It Is Also Recommended That You Take A Certified CPR And
First Aid Course.

ABCs OF LIFE SUPPORT

This emergency first aid procedure consists of recognizing

stoppage of breathing and heartbeat — then applying
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This involves: (A) opening and
maintaining person’s Airway; (B) rescue Breathing; (C) providing
artificial Circulation by external cardiac compression (heart massage).

A Airway open. Turn person on back and quickly remove any

foreign matter from mouth. Place your hand under person’s
neck and lift, tilting head back as far as possible with other
hand. This opens an airway.

B Breathing restored. If person is not breathing, place your

mouth tightly over his or hers, pinch nostrils and blow into
mouth until you see the chest rise. Remove your mouth. Give
two breaths and check for neck pulse (see C below). If pulse is

Version 15 Page 36 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 37 of 65

present, continue rescue breathing at a rate of 12 times per

minute.

C Circulation maintained. Quickly feel for neck pulse:

Keeping person’s head tilted with one hand, use middle and
index fingers of other hand to feel for carotid pulse in neck
artery under side angle of lower jaw. If no pulse, start rescue
breathing and external cardiac compressions.

Person’s back should be on firm surface. Place heel of your

hand on lower breastbone (about 1 1/2 inches up from the tip), with
fingers off chest and other hand on top. Gently rock forward,
exerting pressure down, to force blood out of the heart. Release
pressure. Alternate (B) breathing with (C) circulation.

For small children and infants: Cover nose and mouth with
your mouth, blow gently, 20 times per minute. For
compressions, use only heel of one hand for children; only the
tips of index and middle fingers for infants. Give 80 to 100
compressions per minute, with one breath after each five
compressions.

INJURIES / SITUATIONS

ANIMAL BITE

Flush the wound area with water and then wash with soap and
water for at least five minutes. Cover with a clean dressing or
cloth. Immediately seek care at a hospital or physician.

BLACK EYE

As soon as possible following the injury, dip a cloth in ice water

and hold next to the area for at least 10 minutes. A “black eye”
is essentially a bruise around the eye that will cause pain and

Version 15 Page 37 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 38 of 65

swelling and gradually fade in time. If the bruise does not fade
or if there is a change in vision, consult a physician.

CUTS

Minor – Wash wound area with soap and water, not alcohol;
cover with a sterile gauze bandage.

Major – If blood appears to be gushing or spurting, follow

these instructions and call for help. Take a clean cloth or towel
and press hard on the cut for 10 minutes. Do not remove
pressure to see if it’s working. If possible, raise the cut above
the level of the chest. After 10 minutes, if the bleeding has
stopped, cover the cut with a bandage. If the bleeding hasn’t
stopped, try pressing harder for five more minutes and seek
medical help.

BURNS

Minor – Immediately cool the burn area by putting it under

cool running water or in a sink filled with cool water for at least
five minutes or until the pain subsides. Never apply butter,
grease or ointment. Don’t open blisters or remove dead skin.
Cover with gauze. If blisters break, apply a clean dressing. If
the burn is on the face, covers an area bigger than your hand
or if it blisters, call the doctor or emergency number.

Severe – Have victim lie down and cover him or her. Never
remove clothing or clean the burns. Call for emergency help.

Chemical – Quickly flush area with water for five minutes,

cover with gauze and call for emergency help.

Version 15 Page 38 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 39 of 65

CHOKING

If the person is choking and unable to talk or breathe, get

behind the person and wrap your arms around the waist. Make
a fist, grasp fist with other hand. Place fist against the stomach
just above the navel but well below the lower tip of the
breastbone. Pull fist upward into the stomach with a quick
upward thrust. Repeat up to four times. If choking continues,
seek medical help. If the victim becomes unconscious, lay him
or her down, roll to side, pull the tongue and jaw forward and
with your index finger, dislodge any visible matter. Perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and/or CPR.

CONVULSION/SEIZURE

Gently prevent person from hurting him or herself on nearby

objects. Loosen clothing after jerking subsides. Have person lie
down. Help keep the airway open. Turn head to the side in
case of vomiting to prevent choking on inhaled vomit. If
breathing stops, administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or
CPR. After seizure, allow patient to rest. Seek medical
attention.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Turn off electricity if possible. If not possible, pull victim from

the electrical contact with a dry rope, wooden pole or cloth. Do
not touch victim until contact with electric current is broken.
Administer CPR. Call for emergency help.

EYE INJURIES

Version 15 Page 39 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 40 of 65

Chemicals – Have person turn head so injured side is down.

Flood eye with water for at least 15 minutes. Cover eye with
clean cloth and seek professional help.

Foreign particle – Do not rub the eye, that may cause deeper
injury. Try to locate the object; if it is in the pupil, or seems
embedded in the white of the eye, go immediately to the
emergency room. If the object is floating in the liquid surface,
you can try to remove it. Hold the lower lid open, look up, and
using the edge of a clean cloth, brush the matter quickly off the
eye’s surface. If you can’t see an object, pull the upper lid
down and over the lower lid and let it slide back up. This may
dislodge the particle. If pain and tearing persist, seek medical
help.

FAINTING

Lay patient on his or her back and raise both legs above the
heart. Check airway to be certain it is clear. Loosen tight
clothing and apply cold cloths to the face. If fainting lasts more
than a minute or two, keep patient covered and seek medical
help.

FALLS

Stop any bleeding and cover wounds with clean dressings.

Keep victim comfortably warm to prevent shock. If you suspect
broken bones, do not move person unless absolutely necessary
(such as in case of fire). Call for emergency help.

FISHHOOKS

Fishhook injuries carry a high risk of infection, so if you can

reach a physician, do so. If you are far from medical help, push

Version 15 Page 40 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 41 of 65

the hook farther through the tissue until it goes through the
skin. Don’t pull it out; the barb will cause further injury. Using
wire cutters, cut off the barb, and then pull the hook back
through the skin. Clean and bandage the wound and seek
medical attention as soon as possible.

FRACTURES/BREAKS

Stop any bleeding and cover wound with clean dressing. If it is

a simple fracture, set it in a splint (wood, corrugated
cardboard, rolled-up blanket, pillow, etc.) supported with cloth
or rope ties. Do not move patient if back or neck injury is
suspected. Keep person warm and treat for shock (see next
column). Call for emergency help.

FROSTBITE

Signs and symptoms: The skin of hands, feet, face or other

areas first becomes red, then turns gray or white. Never rub
frostbitten area with snow; that will only continue the chilling of
the tissue and cause further damage. A gradual warming, by
immersing the area in water that is slightly warmer than body,
is safe for slight frostbite. Elevate the affected area, cover with
dry and warm garments and consider pain relievers if there is
slight pain. Keep frostbitten toes or fingers separate with clean,
dry cloths. Hospitalization is necessary for children whose body
temperatures drop below 93°F and for adults who have severe
frostbite. Don’t sit in front of an oven or fire to warm the
frostbitten area; unequal exposure to the heat could burn the
tissue. Don’t massage the damaged area or rub with snow. Do
not break blisters or give alcoholic drinks. Contact your
physician or emergency room immediately.

Version 15 Page 41 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 42 of 65

HEAD INJURY / CONCUSSION

Usual symptoms of simple concussion include headache, slight

dizziness, queasy stomach or vomiting. These usually require
an ice pack to the head and rest. Observe for any severe
symptoms such as unusual drowsiness, unequal pupils,
persistent vomiting, confusion and lack of coordination. If one
or more of these conditions are present, immediately seek
medical care.

INSECT BITES AND STINGS

Bee or wasp sting – Try to remove stinger by gently scraping

with a clean knife blade. Cleanse with soap and water and
apply an ice compress to reduce swelling. If person has an
allergic reaction (will happen within 30 minutes), hives, itching
all over, wheezing, vomiting or a history of allergic reaction,
follow directions on bee sting kit, if available. Call for
emergency help.

Tick bite – Cover the insect’s body with a heavy oil or lighter
fluid and allow to remain for about 20 minutes. Carefully
remove with tweezers, being sure to remove all parts of the
insect. Scrub area with soap and water.

Itchy bites – Use hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion or

rubbing alcohol.

NOSEBLEED

Have person sit down and lean forward. Pinch nose and have
person breathe through the mouth. Or pack bleeding nostril(s)
with gauze and pinch. If bleeding persists, call a doctor.

POISONING

Version 15 Page 42 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 43 of 65

Don’t force to vomit immediately. Call poison control. Tell them

what substance and how much was swallowed. Take the bottle
or package to the phone when you call. Directions on the
container may not be up to date. Always follow the instructions
given by the poison control center. Do not give the patient
fluids or cause to vomit if unconscious or in convulsions. Call for
emergency help.
SHOCK

Have person lie down, loosen clothing and cover to prevent loss
of body heat. Be cautious not to overheat. Check pulse rate and
seek professional help.

SPLINTERS

Tweezers remove most splinters easily, but a physician should

remove deeply embedded splinters. If the length of the splinter
is visible under the skin, use a sterilized needle to slit the skin
over the splinter and pull out the splinter with the tweezers.
Clean the wound.

SPRAINS & STRAINS

Elevate the injured joint to a comfortable position. Apply an ice

bag or a cold compress over the sprain to reduce pain and
swelling. Ability to move does not rule out fracture. Person
should not bear weight on a sprain. Sprains that continue to
swell should be examined by a physician.

UNCONSCIOUSNESS

When person cannot be aroused, lay in a flat position and make

sure the victim’s airway is clear. Check pulse rate. If no pulse is
felt, begin administering CPR. Keep the person comfortable and

Version 15 Page 43 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 44 of 65

warm. Never give an unconscious person food or liquid. If

vomiting occurs, turn head to the side to prevent choking on
inhaled vomit. Call for medical help.

Proactive Executive Protection

By Michael Stroberger
Reprint "Protection Officer News"

To the uninitiated, or those with only limited contact,

Executive Protection is an almost mystical topic, filled with images
pulled from popular movies, works of fiction and news accounts. In
truth, the inner working of Executive Protection are not complicated,
they are simply an extensive series of details which must be double-
checked to ensure that possible hazards have been addressed. From
the point of view of the property-level security professional, the
advance work of a protective detail can seem intrusive, their requests
confusing or difficult to carry out without considerable difficulty or
even simply useless. Despite this, if the detail is staffed with
dedicated professionals, each request has a specific purpose, and is
designed to support the overall effort of protecting their principal
(protectee).

The most basic goal of any protective detail is to avoid /

reduce hazards. These hazards could result from intentional human
actions, natural disasters, accidents or even medical conditions. For
each type of hazard, or specific hazard, there will be some obvious,
and some less obvious, strategies for mitigating the hazard.

Version 15 Page 46 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 47 of 65

In some cases, the mitigation strategy is in place well in

advance, and is a continuous effort. This applies to situations such as
the carrying of medication used to treat specific medical conditions
which the principal is known to suffer from regularly, or which could
be life threatening if they do occur.

In most cases, these are not a specific concern for the

protective unit of a property, but are handled by the unit which
travels with the principal.

From the property point of view, there are many steps which
can be taken to anticipate the needs of an outside protective detail.
The taking of these steps will not only smooth out the process of
interacting with an outside detail, they will prove the level of
professionalism which the property security force operates under. If
handled with care, and a systematic approach, this is an ideal
opportunity to prove the value and skill of a protective unit, both to
the outside protective detail, but also to their own management
structure.

You know your property better than they do. Be prepared to

walk the property with the leader, or advance person, of the
protective detail. They will be interested in such information as:
where are the access points, and when and how are they secured;
which rooms will they be utilizing and where are they located; what
fire systems do you operate; what hours of coverage and staffing
levels does your protective unit maintain; who will be on property,
other than your unit; what types of surveillance equipment do you
operate, and what areas does the system cover. This is a very short
list, and obviously not inclusive of all topics which will be of interest.
The basic concept is: where will we be, how do we get there and
back and how will we be accessible to others during this time frame.
Look at it from this point of view, and most of the questions can be
anticipated prior to their arrival.

Version 15 Page 47 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 48 of 65

You know the geographic area better than they do. In most
cases, dignitary/VIP protective details travel with the principal. As a
result, they often work in areas, cities and countries other than their
base of operations. This gives you the advantage of having a much
better understanding of the geographic area. They will, in most
cases, call upon this knowledge for reference materials. They will
usually need to know: Areas of road construction; nearest hospital;
nearest police station; nearest fire department; security units
operating in nearby buildings. Again, this is the briefest of lists, and
by no means inclusive of even a small portion of the information a
good, professional detail will require. Be prepared to answer these
questions, or at least have a contact who can.

You know the difficulties of the area better than they do.
Although it is available through proper channels and sources, the
area crime rate, types of crime and areas of higher crime activity will
probably not be known to the protective detail. Be prepared to give
them a brief explanation of the current trends, as you know them.

At my property, we developed an "Executive Protection

Guide," which we allow outside units to read through, as part of their
advance work. No person is permitted to make copies of the content
of the guide, but a duplicate of the cover sheet, with contact names
and direct telephone numbers is provided. This guide offers detailed
descriptions of our building, the areas around us, the local law
enforcement and fire departments, my staff and operation and the
security systems currently in place. This guide was compiled over a
period of several months, based on a database of questions which we
obtained through interaction with outside protective details as they
arrived at our property. As a result of the process we used to compile
this listing, our guide includes information which not every unit
requests; such as the building materials used in the floors and walls,
and relative thickness of those materials. While these are not
common questions for such details to ask, when encountered in the
reading of our guide, most have been very appreciative of the
information. Some, in fact, have added questions to their pre-

Version 15 Page 48 of 65
www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org Complete Course on Executive Protection Page 49 of 65

formatted advance information list, based on what we have chosen

to provide for them, prior to their arrival.

In addition to the proactive steps described above, it is also

important to note that you can become very involved in the actual
operation of the detail, while it is on your property. Often, I and
selected members of my staff become almost an auxiliary part of
larger protective details, performing such duties as perimeter security
in the area of events and movement of the principal; securing and
inspection of rooms; screening of employees who will have access to
specific areas; crowd control and liaison with management. One of
the key aspects which the host protective unit can provide is
additional legal rights, as agents of management/ownership. While
the executive protection detail has a certain set of legal rights,
stemming from the basic right to defend one's self, the protective
unit from the property has a vast set of additional rights, including
such things as the ability to restrict access to third party persons.
Again, being prepared for, and involved in, such aspects reflects a
strong level of professionalism and skill.

With the election year in motion already, in addition to the

regular travels of executives and celebrities, some types of
businesses are obviously more prone to visits than others. This does
not, however, rule out the possibility of such a visit, and proper
planning should be an issue for all protective details. Be prepared for
such possibilities, and you will present a professional image. Fail to
prepare, and this, too, will be noted.

BONUS CHECKLISTS
Note: The two checklists below can be used when conducting
an advance or when assuming command of a security detail that is
already running.
