Executive protection professionals face a unique set of threats as they work to protect the high-risk individuals they serve. Coordinating with all staff involved in the security and life of a protected individual can help security leaders detect threats sooner rather than later.
In general, executive protection details consist of one security practitioner and one or two chauffeurs. An overwhelming majority of chauffeurs do not have security experience or protective driving training. When a security professional is working a detail and finds themselves faced with such a situation, there is rarely time to prepare drivers in traditional protective driving techniques, which means the security leader has to analyze the drivers and determine how much ad hoc training can be accomplished in the field.
