A close protection officer can be invaluable in the following instances:
If the client has reason to believe that they may be in danger from a physical attack, personal close protection can help ensure their safety and reduce the risk of harm.
If the client is a public figure, celebrity, or other high-profile individual, they may be at increased risk of being targeted by stalkers, paparazzi, or other individuals who may pose a threat to their safety.
If the client is wealthy or has valuable assets, they may be at increased risk of being targeted by criminals who may try to kidnap or harm them in order to extort money or steal their possessions.
If the client is involved in business or politics, they may be at increased risk of being targeted by individuals or groups who may have a grudge or political motive.
If the client travels to areas with a high risk of crime or political instability, personal close protection can help ensure their safety and reduce the risk of harm.
Having personal close protection can give the client peace of mind and allow them to go about their daily life without worrying about their safety. Our armed close protection officers ensure the safety, security and peace of mind of clients by relying on rigorous training and experience to respond quickly in a distress situation. This ensures that clients are removed from the emergency to safety, without delay.
