Executive Protection Motorcades – Biggest Cause of Client Risk

Doc Rogers, Featured Articles

Vehicle-based incidents are one of the biggest risks to our clients during bodyguard and executive protection assignments. There are reckless and hazardous civilian drivers out there as well as undisciplined pedestrians crossing the roads illegally that cause the majority of accidents. 

The security drivers we utilize during road movements for our clients must be top notch to detect and avoid potentially dangerous situations while delivering them to their destinations safely. The most important rule for our security drivers, without fail, is the need to maintain awareness every day. Their knowledge, preparation and route planning should be brought to bear each day as well.

Doc Rogers, Featured Articles

By Doc Rogers

I am positive that if you follow the 10 commandments of executive protection they will have a profound impact on your career and positively contribute to a safe environment for your clients

10) Thou Shall Do the Job without Fail:

You should never fail in carrying out your executive protection activities, while keeping the trust and confidence the client has placed in you and your bodyguard abilities. Consistently produce positive results through thick and thin.

9) Thou Shall Never Allow Anger to Override Professional Judgment:

In the bodyguard business we should avoid open hostilities even when sleep deprived and under physical and mental stress from the job. Be tolerant with people you come into professional contact with. This does not include people who pose a threat to your client, of course, but should include hotel managers, event management personnel and restaurant managers, etc. Maintain your focus on the task at hand and try not to become angered. Keep a sense of diplomacy when dealing with problems. Using calm diplomacy is the best way for dispute resolution rather than anger or confrontation.  This will assist you in your ability to grow more cohesive with your operational environment and make things run smoother on the job and may also avoid bad media attention for your client.

Is Personal Safety and Issue for Professional Athletes?

Featured Articles

Should professional athletes be concern for their personal safety and that of their families? A couple years after the tragic death of Washington Redskin’s player, Sean Taylor.

Unfortunately the interviews, while well meaning, starts out with a comment by LeBron James who seems to believe that driving fast will allow him to escape anyone intent on harming him. The truth is that it’s more likely to harm Lebron than any would be attackers.
