While it’s true that executive security personnel indeed protect these people, the longstanding myth is that close protection is reserved for the elite “superstars” that are at an exceptionally high risk.
The fact is, there are many people who can actually benefit from executive security, otherwise known as close protection. Here are some of the types of individual that can benefit from engaging a close protection specialist.

You do not necessarily need to be a celebrity, a politician, or own a billion dollar business to require your own close protection – anyone who has experienced a sudden amount of public attention may also need one. This is often the case for members of the general public that have become widely known for any reason. This could be for any reason such as a media scandal or being seen on TV holding a big lottery check.

If you handle money, whether at a church or a bank or anything in between, close protection can make a significant difference in assuring the safety of the individual charged with this task. The same holds true in the transport of the money, as in many cases that presents the highest risk.

In the case of expensive possessions, engaging the services of a close protection specialist can prove to be invaluable. Transporting diamonds? Sensitive documents or information? There are many instances where it’s not the person someone could be after, it’s their possessions.

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.

There are many reasons to hire a close protection specialist. At ESS Global Corp, we have your back. ESS has offices in Tampa and Orlando and is the leader in executive close protection services in Florida.

Church Violence Rising – ESS Global Corp

While once rare, acts of violence at churches are increasing by double digits every year. One only needs to go to Google news and search for “Church Violence”. Sadly, it happens every day.
For instance, last week, on 07/26/15, the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office arrested Song Su Kim, age 30 of Falls Church Virginia, on charges of first degree murder, second-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, and two counts of first-degree assault.
Church Violence At approximately 7:45 p.m. deputies were dispatched to the Anna Prayer Mountain Church, located on Peters Rd, for a report of multiple stabbings. Through the investigation it was determine Kim stabbed a male, age 62, and female age 57, during a church service. The male victim died.
The first Sunday in August brought not one, but two bombings of churches (Baptist and Catholic) in Arizona. Thankfully, there were no deaths or serious injuries, though there was property damage.
Violent acts may include robbery, assault, rape, attempted murder and murder. Nearly 500 people have been killed on church property in the last 15 years. Many more have been seriously injured.
The majority of violent acts are carried out by people who have some connection to the congregation. The most common violent act at churches, is a shooting. Often there are precursors or warning signs to the violent act, such as threats or previous outbursts, disputes, or confrontations. Other times the violence comes out of the blue with no warning at all.
Most churches are unprepared for a violent event or how to handle the immediate aftermath. These are the churches that have the greatest risk and as such, have the most to gain from a church security analysis from the church security experts at ESS Global Corp.
Who is at Risk?
No church is immune to the risk of a violent episode occurring. Larger churches have the greatest risk since as the numbers rise, so does the risk. Churches and places of worship of all religions, sizes, and locations have experienced acts of violence.
There is no assurance that a violent episode in church can be avoided. However, you can be prepared for the possibility of an incident occurring with the addition of qualified, professional security personnel. ESS Global Corp also offers church security training. On August 3, 2015, ESS Global Corp received a letter from Brandon White, Executive Pastor at Without Walls International Church in Tampa.
Pastor White summed up both the need and the completeness of our services.
“As a large church in the Tampa Bay community, the safety and security of the attending congregation is held in the highest regards, which should never be marginalized as a second thought. One of the greatest aspects of the training was the full assurance of complete understanding before introducing any new concepts, terminology, or practical application revealed the desire your team has to help others in achieving their goals. In addition, you have gone above and beyond by offering your services for future follow up sessions to ensure proper implementation, which is a genuine characteristic of both your integrity and ethical uprightness.”
By taking responsibility for the safety of your church with “faith based” security, you will have done the best thing possible to prevent a violent incident from occurring.
ESS Global provides church security as well as church security training. Since most churches have no security plan in place, this is a great place to start.

It goes without saying that if you keep your community relatively crime-free it improves business. So how does your apartment and condominium security directly correlate to making more money? Well, you need to keep the occupancy rates high and attract good people and families to rent to. Above all, the right security company will find the proper balance, serving both the needs of the management company and the needs of the residents and their families. This is where having the right security company can do both.
Bad residents don’t like good security. If a resident is looking to sell drugs, or commit any crimes, they tend to look for complexes that don’t have security. The reality is that having the right security guard company will eventually attract good, long-term residents, because in your apartment/condo/gated community they will feel safe.

Executive Protection in Florida and More

Being a corporate executive may not be as stressful as you may think, but it’s certainly dangerous. Or at least, that’s a reasonable conclusion based on the money companies spend protecting their top executives.
Executive compensation reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over the past several years reveals how much companies spend to protect their top executives.
Oracle, spends about $2 million/year protecting Chief Executive Larry Ellison. Google spends over $500,000 protecting Chief Executive Eric Schmidt. Disney over $1 million for Mr. Eisner.
More and more frequently, large companies are accepting security expenditures as a necessary cost of doing business. Top executives are the company’s most valuable assets, and they need to treat them accordingly. In the Ford Annual Proxy Report they Ford states that, “the benefits of providing these programs outweigh the relatively minor costs associated with them.” Ford spends over $1 million a year protecting its top executives and members of the Ford family.

Executive Protection in Florida – ESS Global

An executive will contract with a security company such as ESS Global Corp to provide guards at their home, both for screening visitors as well as stationed around the perimeter and inside the property. And it’s not just corporate executives; politicians, celebrities, athletes, and more are hiring executive protection specialists.
The risks increase when people travel and even more so if that travel is outside the US, as is often the case with celebrities. Most hire additional manpower when they travel to high-crime countries. The executive protection guards use secure drivers, plan secure routes, and investigate cars, limos, even the corporate jet for potential security breaches such as unidentified luggage.
Agents scout out hotels, meeting rooms, restaurants, venues and more in advance.
“People need to remember”, says Theodore Billiris, CEO of ESS Global Corp, “everyday situations in relatively safe locations are not totally risk free. It doesn’t matter if the threat is planned or opportunistic. Incidents affecting personal safety, both directly and indirectly, can and do occur every day. This threat is heightened with travel outside the perceived safety of the home.”

Customized Risk Assessments

Florida Church Security Tampa, Orlando and More

ESS Global Corp offers professional “faith-based” Florida church security in Tampa and throughout Florida and the US.

Florida Church Security Tampa, Orlando and More

We are saddened by recent church violence events and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased.
Over 420 people have died in incidents involving deadly force at churches and other faith organizations in America since 1999, as detailed by noted church security expert Carl Chinn and reported in a 2013 issue of SBC LIFE, the journal of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. If you’ve followed the news the past two years, you know that number has risen dramatically.
The biggest trigger in church violence over the last 16 years is “Domestic Spillover”. This is when domestic relationship violence finds it’s way onto ministry property resulting in a deadly force incident. The second most common reason for church violence is “Random Acts” which describes the tragedy in Charleston, SC.
The SBC Life article recommended ways churches can protect themselves against violent intruders.

Perform a professional security analysis for activities throughout the week and at services.
Assess unmonitored entryways to the church on Sundays or during other activities including day care, Bible studies, and more where someone could enter and hide.
Consider hiring a security firm to provide armed security during all church events.

Carl Chinn also stated recently, “If you still have time to be on the security team after making sure your own house is in order, then you can look around your church to see if any friends or relatives of ‘Bozo Thug’ are around you. There are plenty of them in our society. Empty-eyed mindless little rats looking for an opportunity to get their name in the paper.”
Faith-based organizations must increase their awareness of, and preparation for, criminal hazards capable of compromising their primary ministry purpose.
8-2 Update
This post is barely a week old and the national news has reported two church bombings that seem to be related http://essglobalcorp.com/ess/wq4l7 as well as a stabbing in a church in Maryland that has resulted in one death. http://essglobalcorp.com/ess/7mn3w
Are churches the new “soft target”?
