Stay Prepared with Executive Protection Services

With smartphones and social media, the movements of high-profile executives are often difficult to conceal, which can put you at risk. Executive protection services are vital for physical safety and the protection of productivity and your reputation. Stay prepared for any situation with executive protection services from the highly trained, experienced professionals at Decisive Action.

Executive Protection Specialists vs. Bodyguards

When people think of bodyguards, they often picture burly individuals who use their size as a deterrent against anyone trying to harm the person they're protecting. Typically, bodyguards are unarmed and have little to no specialized protection training, especially when it comes to executive protection services. The boundary of professionalism between bodyguard and client is typically lax at best, which can lead to complacency among the protective detail.

Now, let’s look at an executive protection specialist. An executive protection specialist is a highly skilled individual with a specified purpose and action plan. We pride ourselves on operating with high tact, discretion, and professionalism. An executive protection specialist protects a client’s interests rather than only their physical person and strives to be proactive rather than reactive. An essential component of proactive security measures is intelligence gathering and surveillance before the movement of the person under protection. Executive protection strives to minimize emergent situations rather than respond to crises.

Reasons to Consider Executive Protection Services

• You’re a high-profile executive who makes a lot of public appearances.
• Your position involves frequent travel. Executive protection works with airports, hotels, and venues to ensure safety. 
• You value discretion for personal and professional purposes.
• You want peace of mind. People holding top positions in organizations and corporations have a lot on their plate and high stress levels. Hiring protective services allows you to worry less about your safety.
• You want to protect those around you. Executive protection also serves any team members working closely with you, including personal assistants.
