In essence, they all represent the same idea. That is to identify and mitigate threats to personal and/or family safety. And it’s what we do here at ESS Global. ESS has provided personal and corporate security details in over 60 countries. And with our corporate office in Tampa, Florida is our backyard.
Divorces and domestic disputes is another reason protection services are used. Sometimes when spouses split up, the potential for violence exists. Either party to the divorce may enlist the services of a personal close protection expert if the other has threatened to harm them. In the case of domestic disputes, many security agencies are called upon to provide a level of protection to those who fear retribution from a threatening, violent or otherwise unpredictable ex-partner. If you feel that your safety is threatened by anyone you know, regardless of your relationship with them, hiring executive security can be one way to find some peace and normality until the issue is resolved.
Travel, especially if it’s out of the country. People often hire close personal protection for business and personal trips they make. Whether you are traveling outside of the country, or going to a high-dollar business meetings, the services of a protection specialist may be called upon. And it’s not just the usual hotspots you need to worry about. People traveling to Europe, India and other places that used to be considered safe are calling security firms like ESS Global Corp to ensure their safety abroad.


The purpose of Voc Rehab is simple: Assist service-disabled Veterans to train for, find, and hold down a suitable job, or achieve independence in daily living. In this case we are addressing post-secondary training at a college, vocational, technical or business school. You see it has to be “a school”. And since we are the only D.O.E. approved school in the state of Florida that also accepts GI Bill Benefits from the VA, this is a perfect match of two agencies; The Florida Department of Education and the VA.
VA Voc Rehab can help you develop new skills that build on your military experience so Veterans like yourself can remain competitive in today’s workforce. If that training and education comes in the form of a degree, an apprenticeship, technical or vocational certifications, VA Voc Rehab can be that extra push for Vets to catch up with their peers.

Course Materials (Text Book, Hand Outs, etc)
The FBI Uniform Crime Reports consistently indicate the majority of police officer involved shootings occur between 18:00 and 02:00, which typically occur under reduced lighting or in conditions where no light is present. Human night vision is poor, so we depend heavily on artificial light in conditions with little or no other illumination.
With critical input from certified trainers at major law enforcement agencies around the globe, Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP), one of the leading manufacturers of law enforcement products, has developed a first of its kind training course that integrates flashlights.
