The role of Close Protection Security Officers


Close protection security
Close protection is not exclusively for celebrities, royalty or world leaders. Many people from all walks of life need Close Protection Security Officers for a variety of different services. A close protection security officer is usually hired to protect people from danger, generally theft and attack, loss of confidential information, stalking or kidnapping.

The role of Close Protection Security Officers (or bodyguards) is often misunderstood by the general public as the only exposure people have to the role is through dramatized action films. On screen bodyguards are portrayed as action heroes, such as Kevin Costner's role in The Bodyguard, when in reality the role of Close Protection Security Officers can often be monotonous and unexciting. It mainly consists of route planning, researching people the client may be meeting and searching either buildings or vehicles prior to use.

A close protection officer will have a number of responsibilities always with the main aim of keeping the client out of any kind of danger. Their duties could include:

·         Driving Clients to and from venues
·         Checking out premises prior to the client visiting
·         Escorting clients on social and/or business visits
·         Protecting clients from any kind of danger i.e. stalkers, over enthusiastic fans, terrorists
·         Identification of threat and research and planning to prevent it

Working in close protection services often means long shifts including evenings and weekends at outdoor or indoor venues; sometimes spending time away from home or working overseas is a requirement.
