We Salute Our Valued Veterans – Without whom we would not have the freedoms we have every day here. Freedom we sometimes take for granted. But not today.
There’s no way to thank our veterans for everything they sacrifice for our freedom, but on Veterans Day, we have to try. So thank you to all our service men and women, both past and present!
Bodyguard Training – Florida – ESS has a Florida D.O.E. Approved 3-Day Fast Start and a 28-Day Executive Protection Course – Accepting GI Bill® Benefits.
ESS Global Corp offers 2 Executive Protection Classes. There is a Fast Start 3- Day Training that some use as a refresher course, and a 28-Day MEGA Executive Protection Class for those that are serious about a career in the Close Protection Industry.
Both these classes are Florida D.O.E. Approved and both accept GI Bill® Benefits.
First, while “Bodyguard” is still popular in culture, those in the industry refer to “bodyguarding” as Close Protection or more accurately Executive Protection.
And for anyone looking to enter the Executive Protection industry, it’s important to know that in most states and localities, close protection is lumped into security guards or private investigators and has little to do with either.
So without state “certification”, it’s important for you to understand that the close protection “certifications” you receive are from the school, not any governing body.
For that reason, it’s vital that you choose a close protection training based on the school’s certifications, not the “certifications” they have waiting for you after you pay.
Covering all the basic pillars of executive protection, this 3-day training will provide you with the basic knowledge and protection techniques commonly used by the Secret Service, State Police, Highway Patrols, VIP and Dignitary Protection Units responsible for protecting politicians and other domestic and foreign dignitaries around the world.
Our ESS Global Executive Protection Training is designed for career veterans as a “refresher”, or a “must-have” for beginners in the world of executive/close protection. This D.O.E. Certified Executive Protection Training gives you a strong start in the security industry covering city, county and state government organizations, corporate security services, security agencies and private individuals.
For those that are serious about beginning a new career…

Think Twice About Posting Pictures of Your Kid on Facebook (And Instagram) – It’s the friend of a friend of not so friend problem we’ve discussed before.
It’s the start of a new school year… and…you need to…
Before you put a photo of a young child in an essentially public domain, you need to consider that you are making this choice on behalf of somebody who relies on you to keep them safe.
Not long ago, we posted about posting on Facebook that you are away from home…at a concert, theme park, festival. etc – as when you post, your post can be seen be your friends, and their friends, and people that are not “your friends” and how bad people search Facebook for these types of “away” posts, then look up your address and rob you.
It’s a big problem that doesn’t get much media coverage.
You also need to keep in mind that the search function on Facebook is like the “Google Search” of Facebook.
Photos and videos of children shared by their parents on social media sometimes turn up on disturbing websites and forums, some of them dedicated to child pornography. In one instance a Nashville mother tried to track down the identity of a stranger who had shared a photo of her daughter. She followed the photo to a page belonging to a man in China. On that page she discovered her photo, along with a lot of other photos of little girls.
This isn’t as uncommon as you might think. According to an Australian Children’s eSafety Commissioner, one site offered at least 45 million images, half of which were photos of children taken from social media accounts. The photos were of everyday family activities, but were accompanied by graphically inappropriate comments.
It’s easy to forget that social media posts can also provide indicators that can help people identify where a child lives, plays, and goes to school. Posts with information like location tags and landmarks (such as schools) give strangers as well as known child aggressors the ability to locate a child and other family members. This is especially dangerous for families who are trying to manage custody disputes and/or escape domestic violence situations.
It’s totally understandable to want to share posts about your family on social media. If and when you do decide to share, try asking your children what they’re comfortable with and take some serious precautions. Pay close attention to privacy settings on your social media pages. Choose your photos carefully and watermark the ones you post publicly. Ask friends and family to refrain from posting photos or videos of your child. And start involving your child in deciding what is appropriate to share with others. Those conversations can help ward off creating bad feelings in the future and are useful for preparing your child for living in the digital age.
Worse, virtually any picture can fuel online bullying.
We’ve talked a lot about how something shared online can never truly be deleted and can be seen by friends of friends of friends. You lose control over the content you post as soon as it is uploaded. You can’t even truly control who ends up seeing it, even on a private account. And anyone can take screenshots and share them.
So what happens if an embarrassing photograph of a child falls into the wrong hands? Your child could face trouble at school. They might face name-calling and bullying, or even lose friends, because of an old picture (or even a current one). If your child doesn’t want a picture posted, or feels embarrassed by a photo, don’t share it with others.
In addition, if your family becomes a target of online harassment for any reason, your child and their pictures will be caught in the crossfire. The dangerous mob mentality of the Internet leads to many people taking things way too far, and this can affect your child’s well-being in a very big way.
Again, it pays to think twice when posting pictures of your children on Facebook.
