Executive Protection Training Tampa
If you are serious about Executive Protection Training, you should know it differs significantly from;
- VIP Protection Training
- Close Protection Training
- Bodyguard Training
- Celebrity Protection Training
- etc…
While the basic premise of a bodyguard goes back hundreds, if not thousands of years, Executive Protection is a relatively new field in the protection industry. Executive Protection was started in the 1970’s by the United States Secret Service when they created the Executive Protection Service to guard visiting foreign dignitaries.
There is no such thing as an Executive Protection “Certification” or “Degree”
If you are considering a career in the rapidly growing executive protection field, know that in the protection industry, there is no EP “degree” (online or otherwise), no“license”, no state testing, and no state boards in most states. Executive Protection Training is usually lumped into the same category as Security Guards or Private Investigation and has little to do with either. Yet we see training to earn your “certified protection specialist credentials” advertised online. Unfortunately, nobody is regulating these schools, training centers and trainers. No government agency regulates or monitors what is taught and who is teaching it. Anybody off the street could be teaching you, and you could be paying for false or misleading information.
So the“protection credentials” you are handed at the end of the training is a piece of paper from the trainer and nothing more.
This is exactly where the ESS Global Executive Protection Training School differs. We are licensed and our curriculum and instructors are all regulated and monitored by the D.O.E., and, we are the only Protection School in Florida that is D.O.E. approved and certified for executive protection training.
Come train with the best!
- D.O.E. Approved

When business owners think about hiring security guards, one of their first thoughts is “how well are they trained?”, because when you take a hard look at security, it’s all about the training.
Nobody looks over the training syllabus. Nobody oversees what’s being taught. Nobody monitors what is said. Except….
When we ask our students here at ESS why they elected to carry, the most common answer reflects a practical aspect. Most take the training “in order to better protect myself” or “to protect my loved ones if a dangerous situation develops.” This reaffirms the principle that even the most inexperienced people realize that learning how to shoot, and effectively and safely handle a firearm, requires training.
INTRODUCTION
The ESS Global Corp Church Security Training in Tampa on June 25 is designed to pass our knowledge down to those who work security for their respective churches and help them create a security plan for their church. Our experienced agents will come to your church and train your existing staff and put together a security plan specific to your church. Since every church is different, each of our Church Security training courses will be unique as we tailor them to your needs and your setting. We will work hand in hand with your staff to teach them how to properly secure your church building and your congregation during a service. We will also help you implement a crisis plan should their ever be an occurrence during a service that requires immediate action.
Far too often we hear in the news of violent acts or acts of terror occurring in churches. And, when these acts occur, you always hear the same answers from the people that were in the church when they are interviewed. They speak of the chaos that occurred and how they did not know what to do. Don’t let this happen to your staff or your congregation. It only takes one moment before a peaceful service can turn violent or even deadly. The training that your staff will receive and then the knowledge and information that they will pass down to the congregation will not only prepare the church, but could possibly end up saving the lives of the Pastor, his family and the congregation and staff.
The church security training in Tampa is a full day, starting at our corporate office, then ending at your church. This is a valuable training for the pastor and staff.
What is Advance Security and Threat Assessment? It is a security survey of all parts of an itinerary to include hotels, restaurants, venues, vehicles, other transport, hospitals, & primary/alternative routes of travel. This is performed by Executive Protection/Close Protection Agents prior to the arrival of the protective detail at each city, state or county and venue that the client or “protectee” visits. Advance Security and Threat Assessment is the most important aspect of Executive Protection.
In this course we will only focus on Threat Assessment and Security Advance tactics. This D.O.A approved course is designed for those who are new to the Executive Protection field or those who are working in it but want to refine their Threat Assessment and Security Advance skills. The basics of what is taught in this course is also taught in our Executive Protection training course only in this course we will put topics learned in the classroom into action in the real world, creating a far better understanding .
The ASP Basic Certification (ABC) is a 7-hour, hands-on seminar which trains the class participants in the operational use of the Tactical Baton. The ASP Tactical Baton program is simple to learn and easy to understand. It provides effective defensive impact weapon tactics for law enforcement and private security personnel, as well as responsible civilians without long hours of training. The techniques were designed to work effectively for all users, male and female, large and small, physically fit as well as those in less-than-peak physical condition.
1. Exapndable baton, scabbard (holder) and duty belt or sturdy belt – Only expandable tactical batons are permitted in this class. “LeverLoc” and standard expandable batons are both acceptable. Scabbards (holders) must be securely-fastened to a rigid clothing belt or duty-style belt. Scabbards of the molded plastic or soft varieties are both acceptable. It is recommended that police officers and private security personnel bring and wear their entire duty belts to assist in creating a more realistic training scenario. (Please ensure that firearms are NOT introduced into the classroom or training room.)
