In Ronald Kessler’s book, “In the President’s Secret Service,” Al Gore makes negative comments about the Secret Service, Kessler writes about the time Gore was lecturing one his kids about the need to study when he pointed to the Secret Service and said, “otherwise you’re going to end up like these guys,” I wonder what Gore would have to say about this individual now that he’s aspiring to be a US Senator.

Daniel Bongino a former Secret Service agent who vowed to take a bullet for Presidents Obama and Bush is now trying to take Benjamin Cardin’s Senate seat. Bongino spent 12 years with the Secret Service before he resigned in May to launch a Senate campaign to challenge the Maryland Democrat.

Why Do Bodyguards Fail?

Many bodyguards fail in the business because they do not have realistic career plans. They only dream about becoming a bodyguard for red-carpet personalities and c-level executives. What they need is to know where they want to go and how to get there.

Your bodyguard success depends on planning, training and determination. If you are just starting out in the bodyguard business you can keep your day job. Moonlight as a bodyguard at night or on the weekends.

You need to start spending your free time on professional bodyguard lessons and workshops. Start an in-depth study of the trade, build a personal library and spend hours on end reading and taking notes.

Surveillance Detection and employing some Counter Surveillance techniques can be the critical element in preventing your client from being a target. In this episode we present a few case studies and review some of the history from a few well known attacks.

Surveillance Detection can be the one opportunity a protection detail or a protection professional has to get ahead of the event and the targeting of their client by someone with ill intentions. Identifying this surveillance while it is occurring provides a small window of opportunity to actually influence or dramatically change a said attack on a protectee or targeted subject.

It allows for some pro-active action to occur rather than already being behind and simply responding to someone else’s actions. This is a great episode to listen to special guest, George Tzelios shares some great information.

By Doc Rogers

Not working as regularly as you once did in the industry? You are an established professional one that clients can count on, so why are they taking a chance on new EP agents?

There are many reasons and obstacles for not working as regularly as you one have, some of the common reasons are:

• You are too expensive and they no longer have a need for a high-earning, successful agent (sad but sometimes true).

• A person in a position of power on the EP team suggested using lesser-known “local” talent on EP projects.

• An agent on the EP team with less experience may have felt a little insure working with seasoned veterans, so he suggested a new agent under the guise of “financial savings” for the team.

Sure halls and walls duty is at the bottom of the EP food chain. There’s no glamour, excitement, no fame or recognition (you are in the wrong business it this is your desire). There are only the empty halls and blank walls looking at you.  However, it does provide golden opportunities for new bodyguards. Detail leaders are usually looking for new bodyguards to fill open halls and walls positions.

Let’s examine how to be a successful halls and walls guy:
Professionalism – Show the competence and skill expected of a professional. When the client or EP team members are in your presence stand up and look alert. If you want to be taken seriously in business, you have to dress the part; suit, tie and highly polished shoes. Be presentable in your walk and talk as well.

Discipline – Obey rules and code of behavior of a halls and walls agent. This means staying alert your entire shift and never leaving the client’s door unguarded.
