The Liability Factor
Liability is, or should be, a major concern to all of us. Surprisingly, there are still clients – most visibly in the entertainment industry who do not seem to realize the risk they take when employing Personal/Close Protection personnel who are not adequately trained for the position. An example of this is any celebrity who is “protected” by someone who pushes a fan or worse yet, grabs their camera to stop them from taking pictures of their Principal. These...

So then, the question remains; “how much to pay”? Before putting a Dollar/Pound/Euro amount on the training, much thought should be given to what is actually needed. If a person is seeking PSD work in a hostile region, they will need training that is geared toward that environment. Spending money learning about convoy escorts and IEDs in Iraq will be a waste if you are looking to protect investment bankers or real estate tycoons in London or New York. If you see yourself working with high net...

Does Your Training Reflect Reality?

I was looking at my rather impressive bookcase recently when I realized that my literary tastes are kind of dark. I wish I was talking about dark, as in vampires, medieval times and your basic murder mystery, but no. I mean that I have books on ancient martial arts, terrorism, firearms, police officer survival, explosive ordnance disposal, edged weapons,...

As a long time police trainer, I am of the opinion that many recruits begin their careers wanting to become the “warrior” that protects society from evil, only to become disillusioned at the first sign of serious resistance from a predator. I believe it may only be a symptom of them growing up in a very “non-contact” world. Much of the violence that adolescents and teenagers experience comes in the form of interactive video games and countless hours glued to the television. When actually put into...
