Safety when traveling is everyone’s concern, especially as we travel worldwide. For those who feel like your safety is at jeopardy, you can hire a bodyguard to give yourself executive protection. There are many benefits of seeking aid from a professional bodyguard. However there are a few things you should ask when acquiring a bodyguard when you’re traveling abroad. Advanced Private Investigator and Security of Miami FL will share a few tips when looking to hire a bodyguard and the benefits that they can provide.
Executive Protection Specialist Job Description & Requirements
When hiring a bodyguard from a security company ask them if they feel you need a single person, or a whole security team. Depending on your situation, their knowledge of the area you will be traveling in is essential. This knowledge may encompass language, local customs, nightlife, best tourist outings, and most importantly, dangerous neighborhoods as well as other dangers you might face. This will not only supply you with a great guide but also give you great protection. It also helps if they know the laws of the countries that you are traveling in. Your executive protection specialist (EPS) should know all of the necessary details. When you hire an EPS, they should know if firearms and/or body armor are permitted, as well as any other restrictions. They should know if local law enforcement can be utilized as well. They can let you know about transportation and what is available that is suitable for safety while you travel. They can tell you if a license is required for the bodyguard in the places you are traveling. If one is required, they should know the requirements needed to obtain one.
Executive Protection Security Licensing
Security licensing is required in most countries. There are a few EPS who accompany their client without a license and ignore the country’s requirements under the guise of an adviser or assistant. However this is a mistake and Advanced Private Investigator and Security of Miami FL encourages you to not hire under these pretenses. A licensed EPS will not endanger your insurance or cause a legal spectacle in the visiting country and even more embarrassing, if it gets public through the media that you hired an unlicensed bodyguard.
Executive Protection Plan Checklist
If you are making a checklist for hiring a bodyguard in preparation for your trip, the things that should be on your list is that your EPS is fully licensed to act as an EPS in the country or places you will be traveling. Knowing the level of your personal threat is also important and that your EPS is qualified to act appropriately to that level of threat and to act legally. Also make sure your EPS can company you everywhere you want to go, and that there are no restrictions for your EPS.
