In 2009 President Barack Obama received a brand-new Presidential limousine. Our poll question for the week is, what name did the Secret Service give this Presidential vehicle? The Presidential limousine is the official state car used by U.S Presidents. Throughout history, a variety of vehicles have both officially and unofficially acknowledged as the Presidential limousines.

Bodyguard Careers is not responsible in any way for the content or accuracy of any of the sites that are linked from it or any sites that are linked to Bodyguard Careers. Individuals should always use caution in considering any type of fees or investment associated with any company or organization.

To be successful in most fields you have to have some type of formalized or specialized education under your belt in order to teach you both the basic and advanced skills needed to succeed in a specific job. Whether that job is an auto mechanic, a draftsmen or accountant, those entering into the field of Executive Protection are also required to have some type of formal and advanced training.

Training is a component of Executive Protection that has changed significantly over the past 25 years. There was a time when any large, physically-fit man with an intimidating presence was employed as a Bodyguard—or as is politically correct in 2010—Executive Protection Specialist. This simply is no longer the case. Today, men and women both are working in the field, and training is considered key to succeeding in the field, and physical strength, endurance and agility are only part of the EPS equation.

In many cases you will have an extremely hard time finding employment, either with a team or as an individual without a formalized education. It is also important to remember that as an Executive Protection Specialist you have to continue on your path for excellence. Just because you graduated from the ABC school of Executive Protection does not mean that your education is complete. It is imperative for you to constantly continue to learn; the old saying “knowledge is power” is true. The more bodyguard training you have the better off you will be and the more successful you will have in the EP industry.

In the interest of providing our visitors with the best information available to succeed in this business, Bodyguard Careers has prepared the Top Executive Protection School list. Brief descriptions of each bodyguard schools are included. Please be sure to visit them to learn firsthand how they can be of help to you. I look forward to sharing in your success. I know you will find as I have, that you are on a career path that is both interesting and profitable.

Sincerely

Harlan (Hucky) Austin

What People are Saying about Top Executive Protection Schools

Hucky,

I just wanted to show my appreciation for your book. I was recently the victim of a well-known scam organization out there that is preying on individuals like myself. My only regret is, I wish I had your book 4 months ago.

Ted, OK

Hucky,

Your e-book has been extremely insightful and helpful. It’s nice to get the thoughts of a true professional, and not someone that is trying to get me to pay thousands of dollars to go to their school.

Pat, CA

Hucky,

I applaud you on putting together a list of legitimate executive protection schools, and making them available in your e-book. This e-book is a must read for anyone seeking acceptable executive protection schools.

Feedback from Executive Protection School Owners

Icon Services Corporation

“Here’s the thing I like about Harlan Austin, he understands the business. However, unlike so many from the “old school” he doesn’t horde information, instead he shares it. Let’s face it, our industry has a reputation for being pretty tight-lipped and while OPSEC (Operational Security) is a great practice, if we close too many doors, how do people just starting out ever get in? When Harlan told me about my inclusion in the previously edition of his “Top Executive Protection Schools”, based off of the uniqueness of our Celebrity & VIP Protection Course, I was delighted. Not only because I was in it, but rather because I encounter so many people who are attempting to do this work with little or no training, primarily because they don’t know where to go to get it. My recommendation to those interested in our industry–buy the book. The $19.95 invested here may save you thousands elsewhere.”

The objective of this article is to provide you with a thorough understanding of observation skills necessary to protect your clients from assassination, armed assault, and kidnapping, or… stubbing a toe. The rule in all bodyguard observations is to provide 360 degrees of protection at all times. You must do everything first class, never complacent or lax; keep focused, attacks or accidents can happen in a matter of seconds. As a bodyguard you must be actively aware of everything that is going on around you and your client.

Remain Alert:

Remain alert to counter and reduce threats by individuals, groups, global terrorists and other adversaries to your client and at events; being consciously attuned to any specific threats in the area.

Minimize Danger:

Deploy both visually overt countermeasures to deter would-be threats to your client as well as covert methods in detecting and preventing specific threats towards your client. Sustaining a secure physical environment for your client is your number one job.

360-Degree Observation:

The bodyguard relies on his or her ability to locate potential threats to the client. The bodyguard must provide 360-degree protection because threats can occur at any position around the client, this means checking behind you as well. The bodyguard should look for anything out of place, telltale signs of potential threats. Good observational skills and attention to looking at things in detail are essential requirements for the bodyguard’s job, as the purpose of 360-degree observation is to locate threats to your client.

When providing protection for a client:

1.    Make a swift 360-degree check of the area looking for any signs of potential threat activity. This 360-degree systematic sweep ensures total coverage while looking for any activity that may represent a threat.

2.    Following the swift 360-degree check ensuring no imminent threats are present, the bodyguard can now conduct a more detail search of the area.

3.    Although your client is more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke than get shot by a sniper, security checks of potential sniper sites should be discreetly conducted – looking for open windows.

4.    After the bodyguard has conducted a 360-degree sweep of the area, he or she will begin viewing the area closest to the client (close observation) as it could pose the most immediate threat. Then the bodyguard’s field of observation goes farther out (moderate distance) and then until the entire area has been observed (far distance) for potential threats.

5.    This cycle using 360-degree area sweeps close, moderate and far observations and overlapping each previous sweep should continue until the client leaves the area.  This allows the bodyguard to become accustomed to the area and makes it easier to locate any threats.

6.    Keep in mind when doing the 360-degree area sweeps that distance equals time. The further away you can begin to detect and deter a threat against the client the better.

Scan the areas that your client enters for potential risks as a matter of habit, keep your protective observational skills demanding and uncompromising, leave nothing to chance. Always be contributing to a safe environment for your client, mindful of avoiding any potential risks along the way.

We, as bodyguards are paid for being on edge, uncomfortable and in control. If there are no credible or specifics threats, keep your guard up, maintaining suspicious alertness. Look at the environment from a purely bodyguard view. Maintain total conviction on the job and you will go far in this business.  Keep safe, be prepared and God speed.

A past issue of Forbes magazine’s online edition has a must read article entitled “High-Security, High-End Homes” (http://www.forbes.com/2007/03/28/secure-tech-homes-

forbeslife-cx_mw_0329securehomes_print.html).
The article, written by Matt Woolsey, offers a glimpse into high end  executive security features in the homes of some of the rich and famous.

There is a series of pictures accompanying the article of these super luxurious residences that boast equally superior security features. The photo tour of the various residences is entertaining but does not (as it should) provide specifics of the security features associated with each residence. However there’s more than a few interesting tidbits in the article. Take for example, the description of One Hyde Park, the luxury London homes purported to be the most expensive in the world at $165 million each. There are four penthouses at One Hyde Park each equipped with filtered air, bullet resistant windows and iris scanners (presumably so your latch-key kid living here doesn’t have to worry about losing his/her key anymore).

The article also highlights Los Angeles-based firm Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments, which designs high end executive security systems for the rich and famous. The more elaborate systems start at $1 million and include fortified polycarbonate and ballistic steel building materials and options for rooms including bio-chem protection.

The other interesting tidbit is that Oracle, the giant IT firm, spent $1.8 million in 2006 to protect Larry Ellison, Oracle’s founder and CEO. That seems to be a very reasonable investment considering that figure includes Ellison’s personal security as well as reportedly, the security associated with his two mansions.

This article does an excellent job of demonstrating that the principle of defense in depth does not have to be sacrificed in order to integrate security with ascetics. Executive Protection should be a multi-layer approach with each successive layer designed to mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with each layer. The rapid advances in technology has afforded our industry the opportunity to select, integrate and implement a wide range of physical security features at increasing affordable levels of investments.

Taught by industry veteran Elijah Shaw, who in addition to his corporate clients, has traveled the world as the personal bodyguard of international public figures such as musical giant Usher, supermodel Naomi Campbell, and rap megastar 50 Cent, the course will offer real world problems, scenarios, and solutions from instructors that are currently active in the industry.
