What is the difference between executive protection and a bodyguard?
What do you think of when you picture a bodyguard? You might think of a tall individual with a muscular build who is a visual symbol of protection and security. The problem with this approach in some cases is that individual may not have the formal training, knowledge, or background to perform the job, and he/she is used primarily for appearances. To make matters worse, these individuals’ conspicuous appearance often signals to others that they are protecting somebody of great wealth or importance, which in fact makes the very person they’re protecting stick out like a sore thumb. Executive protection offers skilled, trained, and knowledgeable operatives to respond physically and intellectually to real-world situations where personal security and protection are paramount - all in a discrete manner.
