Step #1 – Get TRAINED! Online courses at www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org work great for former military, law enforcement, or security personal with work experience. For the beginner, spending a couple hundred dollars there will save a person a ton of time and money! Don't invest thousands in an executive protection program until you have basic knowledge. www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org gives you that knowledge!
Step #2 – Position yourself correctly! Accept entry-level security positions with growing companies / agencies. Work your way up. Ensure your HR file has your certificates.
Step #3 – Be cool with the fact that most employers will require you to go thru their training program. This is for legal & liability reasons. Don’t complain about it. Be relaxed and don’t brag about your time here or your experience there. Your resume should be stacked… your personality should be humble.
Step #4 – Maintain a positive / helpful attitude. Arrogance & impatience will hurt you faster than almost anything.
Until next time!

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!

Toughest Guys Can Be The Nicest Guys
From the desk of Brian Allen, Director
I said while a bunch of them do, that I disagreed with his global statement. He then challenged me to name 3 champion level tough-guys (in any sport) that I’d be proud to have as either a brother, father or kid.
I came up with 10 and could have found more! The lesson for all of us is this, being tough... being great in any sport... being a Champion is awesome. Just remember, it's how you treat people once you have the money & resources that really matters.
To be blunt, any fighter, football, basketball or baseball player is just one serious illness or one car accident away from not being tough anymore. So, don't be a jerk! Be nice! :-)
Here's my list of 10 great champions & role models in alphabetical order:
1. Alexey Voevoda - Russia - Arm Wrestling & Bobsledding
8. Lyoto Machida - Brazil - Mixed Martial Arts
Have a great day!

A client of mine stated that all professional athletes are “a”holes who do nothing but go clubbing, embarrassing their sport & country by fighting, behaving arrogantly, drinking excessively, etc.
