The Detail - Close Protection Professionals
QRisk Close Protection Detail - Protecting Clients at Home & Abroad
The close protection detail is a phrase used to describe the close protection team members who are involved in VIP protection for a client. A common term (though one we don’t use) is the “body guard” team.
Why use VIP Protection?
We live in uncertain times, in a changing world. There is more violence, extortion and crime in which successful and wealthy people are now targeted - that is why. It gives you confidence to do what you want to do, knowing a team of professionals have your safety and security as their primary objective.
You may well choose to engage professional services for when
Specific threats are made against you or your family or your business. Example a threat of violence against a company’s CEO due to a disgruntled customer or Issue Motivated Group’s (IMG)
You have high net worth individuals who can be targeted by organised or random criminal groups
You have high profile individuals or families who are recognisable and can often become targets
You are on international travel and you want to relax knowing the safety and security of you and your family is squared away by a team of highly training professionals
That risk may exist for a number of reasons and the risk may be temporary or permanent and as such the delivery of close protection services maybe short term or as in the case of heads of state be required on a full time basis. Its why all living American presidents maintain a secret service close protection detail for the rest of their days after leaving the oval office. The risk still exists.
The need for VIP close protection is therefore risk based and examining and understanding the risk is required and provides the client with pragmatic intel and solutions.
Close protection is simply about providing the right level of protection to the client to mitigate risk. The known, and the unknown. To provide a circle of trusted safety and security around the client and their family.
What VIP Protection should I use?
Find and use a VIP Protection service that you trust.
Trust is the single most important word in the business of VIP protection. And that trust needs to be demonstrated through experience and competency.
If there is no trust then the client won’t have the required level of confidence to go about their business knowing the close protection operative or team is squared away and doing their job.
There are many providers of VIP protection in New Zealand and Australia, so it’s important to choose a team that has a best in class reputation built on trust and experience.
Your needs are unique and bespoke, so look for a VIP protection service that can provide what you need.
