Who we protect · 05 / 06
Protection for
principals,
sized to the threat.
Close protection, advance work, secure transport, residential coverage and hostile termination support for principals whose exposure is specific: a public role, a dispute, a threat, a season of travel. Sized to the threat, low profile by default, and stood down when it passes.

Where the exposure is
What a principal is actually exposed to
The specific reason. A title does not create a threat; a situation does. A termination the file says will go badly, a dispute that has moved from letters to the driveway, a public position taken in a public forum, a season of travel through places you do not know. The detail is sized to that reason, and when the reason passes the detail stands down.
The residence. The house is where the principal is predictable, and the family is there when the principal is not. Residential coverage that includes the school run and the house, discreet and unmarked where requested, is the part of a protective detail most often left out and most often needed.
The route. Secure transport is not a driver. It is a route checked in advance, the alternates already in hand, and an officer behind the wheel who is watching the road for something other than traffic. Travel needs the advance work first, and that takes as long as the itinerary is long.
The days after. The termination meeting is the part everyone plans for. The week after, when the person still knows the doors and the parking lot, is where the risk actually sits. A standing post at the entrance for the following days and a written report that supports a trespass warning are the follow-on, and both are decided by what was said at the door.

Executive questions
Before you call
Do I need armed protection?
The answer follows the threat, not the title. A specific, credible threat calls for a Class G armed officer; a public role with no specific threat is often better served by a low-profile unarmed detail. We assess first and size second, and we will tell you when you do not need us.
Will it be obvious?
Only if you want it to be. Low profile is the default: plainclothes, unmarked vehicles, an officer who reads as a colleague. High visibility is available when deterrence is the point.
Is the officer in the room for a termination?
Not usually. The officer is close enough to be there in seconds and far enough that the meeting is still HR's. A visible officer in the room escalates more terminations than it calms. If the file says otherwise, we plan for that.
How much notice do you need?
A local detail can start tomorrow, with the advance done the same day, and a single officer for a termination is often same-day by phone. Travel needs the advance work first. Call dispatch and we will tell you what is realistic.
