Providing professional protection services has more to do with brains than bulk. It often has more to do with being able to blend with a crowd than to tower over them. Professional protection is about doing the research necessary to, as much as possible, avoid threats rather than just respond to them. Team movements, team member assignments, advances, arrivals, departures, and responses to attacks on the principal or principals require training, practice, and intelligence.

Foundation in Executive Protection

Middle East. In this role, he demonstrated exceptional versatility, serving in every position within protective details, from advance agent to Agent in Charge.
