VIP executive protection, sometimes referred to as close protection, is the management of security and risk reduction to ensure the personal safety of an individual or group. Executive protection for hire is most commonly used by high-profile VIP’s who may be otherwise unprotected against an elevated level of risk. Executive body-service, services and close protection are often required because the client is high-profile, has a high net worth, or is a public political figure. Executive protection is also utilized when traveling to specific geographical locations with civil unrest.

It is the responsibility of an executive protection agent to serve as the physical protector for a client to preserve their safety and welfare. An executive protection specialist can conduct counter-surveillance operations, protective planning, threat vulnerability assessments, transport clients, respond to emergencies, and perform basic first aid procedures. To be a competent and effective protection agent, an agent requires a high level of expert training and skill.

Executive protection is essential to many individuals for personal or work travel. In a world with many potential risks to personal safety, using security can minimize those risks and provide peace of mind. An executive protection specialist assesses risks, vulnerabilities, and threats. An executive security Service must memorize entrances, exits, and parking situations. They are responsible for creating exit plans and accompanying clients while traveling. Executive protection service personnel must also conduct surveillance to help ensure that no third party is performing counter-surveillance.

All Peregrine Protective Services’ security officers are licensed and can carry a firearm as permitted by local law. Some projects we work on and destinations we travel to, require an executive protection agent to be armed to serve the client’s interests best.

The answer to this will depend very much on how many highly trained protection team members are required for an operation, the details of the project regarding logistics and any possible surveillance required, and the need for any additional executive protection solutions.
