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.

Branch-Tactical (BT) is a VIP and executive protection, training, and consulting service. Unlike others who base much of their executive protection experience solely on their experience consulting, BT provides services based on real-world experience working in corporate executive protection, federal law enforcement, international high-threat mobile protection, and emergency medicine.
John Branchcomb, Branch-Tactical founder and CEO, began his executive protection training at ESI (Executive Security International) in the early 90s. Throughout the 90s, he worked providing protective services as the Aid to the Chairman of an international fortune 200 company.
While working for the Chairman, he attended numerous training events in executive protection, security driving, and emergency medicine. Following the Chairman’s retirement, he was tasked with developing a new security department for a newly built campus, which he managed for four years.
In 2004, he left the corporate environment and became a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He was assigned to a Counter-Intelligence squad and then to a Violent Crime squad while being attached as a medic to the SWAT Team.
In 2009 he left the FBI to become a paramedic (medic) on a high-threat protection team in the Middle East. Though primarily a medic, he continued training while working in every position of a protective detail (E.g., advance agent, medic, driver, detail member, and Agent in Charge) responsible for missions that covered multiple heads of state, high ranking military, and others at the highest levels of U.S. government while traveling in Iraq (Baghdad and Erbil) and Israel.
Branch-Tactical (BT) is licensed in Florida, USA, and Germany to provide VIP and Executive protection. Additionally, BT provides security consultation and training services.
