November 1, 2011

One of the minor issues you may find is that as more specialists are assigned to any detail, the more a client and/or client representative will forget that you are in charge and start relaying changes and such to junior specialists.  There is not a problem with that per se however, the message to the …

In the specialist series that I have been writing about there is a common trend in the 1 and 2 person blogs-Experience. When you are actively working a principal or a special event it is not recommended to have a new specialist on the detail for on the job training. Minor mistakes in these situations …

As I journeyed through the One Specialist series and touched on some parts of the dilemmas that the single specialist has to go through, do not think that it gets easier with two (2). In fact, as a single specialist you are responsible for 2 people, you and the protectee. With another specialist you are …

We (BPI Security and MTMS) just completed our first “Open” course after years of committing our training services to corporate proprietary teams.

As I have mentioned before this is the most difficult perspective of protection.  It is more than exhausting and rewarding at the same time, if you are truly doing it right and it is extremely. Absent the advances, the route planning, contacting the POC’s, setting up lodging and all the other items on the to-do …

During any detail whether you are alone or on a team especially if you’re alone. Managing your paperwork is vital. If there are others on a detail normally all of the receipts are submitted to the detail leader at the end of the detail. When I am talking about paperwork in speaking to times you’ve …

Double the tasks, double the work and double the responsibility. When you are alone and on the road with a protectee everything that you normally can do locally has to be given extra time to accommodate on travel. I educate the client the need to get in the AO earlier. You are traveling to an …

There is a skillset that is incumbant upon you that are more prevailing as a single specialist than it would be if you are the detail leader or AIC overseeing a 6 man detail and a command post.  As I’ve said, when you are alone, you are all of those component built in one.  The …

I have touched on this variation of protection but it is another version of the one specialist series. The Protective Driver specialist. Often times we will be contracted to provide protection and drive as well. This is a very difficult tasking to say the least. Clients have become smarter when it comes to attempting to …

One of the many things you’ll encounter when working a protectee alone is arrivals and departures especially at hotels when the hotel staff working the apron rush to open the rear passenger door. I will not, under any circumstances allow them to do so, irrespective of the threat level of the detail. Normally as I …
