Many people still have a considerably romanticised idea of how bodyguard services function and what close protection officers do in their day-to-day activities. Life is not an action movie and those working in bodyguard protection services are arguably cooler than any action movie star. They prioritise client protection at all costs, which is one expectation that is always a reality. Here are a few more things you may not have known about close protection officers and how bodyguard services work.

Close Protection is not a Hollywood Drama

There may be some overlapping in things you see in the movies when it comes to bodyguard services, but that is probably just because all great stories are based on fact. Not every day is like a scene from a video game or Hollywood film. Much of the work done by close protection officers is surveying, reporting and constant reconnaissance to ensure they have all the information they need when escorting a VIP throughout their day, or organising event security.

Security specialists employed by bodyguard protection services have been expertly trained to handle anything at any time. These special skills mean that these close protection officers spend the majority of their time observing, and less time impersonating Arnold Schwarzenegger (as many people assume the daily activity of a bodyguard involves).

Covering All the Bases of Bodyguard Services

Close protection officers are not just there to physically protect clients. They are specially trained to provide bodyguard protection services as a whole, which involves protecting the client physically, the client’s brand and their personal information. This all aids in allowing the client to keep a low profile in public under close protection, with supervision from bodyguard services. This way any unsavoury characters are stopped before they can even begin the process of discovering where the client will be at any particular time.

Not Just There for Intimidation Tactics

Bodyguards set your personal protection as their professional priority, and this involves much more than simply putting on a suit and sunglasses while flexing muscles. There is extensive research, preparation and training involved in ensuring clients who entrust bodyguard protection services with their safety are met with professional and comprehensive close protection.
