What is an Executive Protection Specialist?
An Executive Protection Specialist used to be formerly known as being a “bodyguard”. The term Bodyguard is slowly dying off and being replaced by educated, non confrontational, incident avoidance professionals. The days of having a big “thug type” in a suit and tie looking for trouble are almost gone. The industry standard now is termed Executive Protection Specialist. The executive protection specialist is hired to protect, cover and evaluate his or her client and their families. You cannot accomplish this task if you are confrontational and constantly on the offensive. The task of a properly trained Executive Protection Specialist is to stabilize, diffuse and de-esculate confrontations or contentious situations.
