How To Be A Bodyguard | Executive Protection Agent 5-31-2014

Motorcade Considerations – Executive Protection – Bodyguard Certification – Training Course 12-23-12

I was asked by a student yesterdaywhat things I consider when a motorcade will be part of a protection assignment. I emailed her my basic checklist and thought many of you may be interested in it as well. I always start with this checklist and then customize as needed per the assignment: Have We Done The Following:

1. Arranged / Informed (in EACH jurisdiction):

(a) Local police (state, county, city, etc.)?

(b) Local fire department?

2. Discussed motorcade with the event Points of Contact?

3. Selected route in partnership with local police and others?

4. Decided on which vehicles are to be used?

5. Assigned a vehicle supervisor?

6. Assigned security teams for lead principal and follow-up cars?

8. Arranged the number and place of vehicles in motorcade?

7. Briefed all drivers?

8. Made an advance / dry run of route?

9. Arranged for type(s) of escort?

10. Arranged for communication between Principal Car - Lead Car - Follow-up Car?

11. Briefed local police on type of escort and any use of sirens / colored lights?

That's it for the basic checklist! I hope that helps you out a bit.

Until next time, stay safe!

The Client Can Sometimes Hurt Your Career

In June 2012, Drake & Chris Brown got into a fight with each other in a Manhattan nightclub. During the fight, each of them reportedly ordered their security teams to join in and a huge incident occurred.  Many uninvolved patrons were injured including NBA All-Star Tony Parker.

Now lawsuits are flying around… with 7 figure damages being sought. 

Many bodyguards in the industry get their jobs because they’re big, pretty tough and friends of the entertainer.  Many have never been trained.

Nightclub security and VIP protection isn’t a joke.  This isn’t a well paid gang-banger profession.  Don’t get involved with clients who will create problems for you… and potentially get you sued.

Here’s a link to a news article about the Drake – Chris Brown Fight:

An important reminder for graduates of our courses focuses on RE-READING.

Every other month or so, re-read your course manual.  This practice will instill one of the best habits for your professional career.  Reading things over and over will allow you to discover things you may have missed previously or will help you to refocus.

Also - within the manual are references to a few other Executive Protection authors & books.  Go buy and READ those books.  That is imperative to you become more professional than your competition.

Read an hour each day in your profession if you want to DOMINATE your market and keep improving.


Until next time,

Executive Protection | Bodyguard | Hand Scanners? Iris Scanners? Finger Scanners? What Are They?

Biometrics (or biometric authentication) consists of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. In computer science, in particular, biometrics is used as a form of identity access management and access control. It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance.

Biometric identifiers are the distinctive, measurable characteristics used to identify individuals. The two categories of biometric identifiers include physiological and behavioral characteristics. Physiological characteristics are related to the shape of the body, and include but are not limited to: fingerprint, face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition (which has largely replaced retina), and odor/scent. Behavioral characteristics are related to the behavior of a person, including but not limited to: typing rhythm, gait, and voice.

Study Body Language

There are many courses available today that address body language and detecting deceit.  One of my favorites is titled “The Power of Body Language” and is authored by former FBI Agent, Joe Navarro.

Go find this course and buy it.  New or used… I don’t care.  I bought the audio CD version and it came with a student manual as well.

This info is definitely REALITY based and I highly recommend it.

Stay safe!

Technology Is Great BUT Never Eliminate Foot Patrols!

There are two main reasons for keeping foot patrols a part of a security program.  The first is that all of the senses can be used by the security agent.  Second is the deterrent value.  Deterring crimes of opportunity is of utmost importance.

Not only are foot patrols very visible; but there is more contact from person to person and therefore you’re more likely to improve “security to community” relations.  Because the agent learns more about the people while walking, there are also more opportunities to develop sources information.

In addition, the agent gains greater familiarity with the physical characteristics of the property, such as places for criminals to hide and danger zones.   Knowledge of the patterns and characteristics of an area can help anticipate incidents before they more difficult to control.

Until next time!
