As security concerns continue to escalate, government and private entities are expected to increase spending to improve all aspects of their security programs.
  • The U.S. Bureau of Labor anticipates “excellent” overall job opportunities for security guards through 2024, with employment growing at about 5.4% during the period. The bureau expects the number of people employed as security guards in the U.S. to reach 1.15 million by 2024.

Bodyguard/Executive Protection Training in Tampa June 24-26 at ESS

Now is your chance for D.O.E. Approved Executive Protection Training Tampa June 24-26 and receive active shooter training no one else offers.

Bodyguard/Executive Protection Training in Tampa June 24-26 at ESS

At ESS Global Corp, we are aware that there are competitors who state that they offer similar Executive Protection Training Programs. However, our Executive Protection School in the only protection training facility certified and approved by the Department of Education in the state of Florida. Additionally, ESS Global uses proven methodology, derived from protective security operations, security consulting and of course, training, in over 60 countries around the world.  These operations have been conducted in threat environments ranging from “negligible” to “imminent “.

In addition to being the only D.O.E Certified Executive Protection School here in Florida, we are the only school offering active shooter training as part of our Bodyguard/Executive Protection training via the only VirTra Simulator in Tampa Florida and 1 of only 2 pubic installations in the country.  (UPDATE 12-23-16 ESS Global Executive Protection Training is now approved by the VA to accept Post 9-11 GI Bill Benefits)

One critical component of a quality training simulator is the ‘realism’ it provides. Real-world performance is often directly related to the realism and intensity of training. Said another way, the more realistic the training exercise, the more skills are transferable to a real-world situation. Thus, realism is critically important to any close combat tactical trainer. Threats during training – The stress of receiving return fire can be safely simulated with the Threat-Fire in the simulator.

Bodyguard/Executive Protection Training in Tampa june 24-26If you are considering a career in the rapidly growing executive protection/ bodyguard/ Close 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. 

Updated 12-15-16 2018 Calendar is up – Also ESS Global Corp is now approved by the VA to accept GI Bill Benefits.

ESS Commitment to Security Protocols Exceeds Big Business

While we are saddened by the recent terror attack. it’s important know that the ESS commitment to security protocols exceeds big business.

ESS Commitment to Security Protocols Exceeds Big Business

We are saddened and heartbroken over the recent terror attack in Orlando, and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families and loved ones.
As it turns out, the terrorist was a G4S employee, so this shines a light on the security industry.
CBSOrlando - SS Commitment to Security Protocols is reporting that a co-worker at G4S reported Omar to his bosses multiple times for “angry, profane statements” against gay people, blacks, Jews and women, and that he “talked about killing people all the time”.  He now wishes he was more aggressive, having quit after Omar started harassing him.
Small Business vs. Big Business
Throughout America, small businesses compete with big business on a daily basis, whether you are a vacuum cleaner shop around the corner from Walmart, or a burger joint across from Red Robin, you win by doing things better.
It’s being reported that G4S saw nothing wrong in the terrorist’s standard background check. Sure, but what about the complaints from his co-workers? The interviews from the FBI in 2013? Lost in the bureaucratic shuffle of a company with over 600,000 employees.
There are many cases where a small business can react faster than a large business, simply because they can avoid the corporate red tape and endless layers of management that can’t make a needed decision without kicking it upstairs yet again.
Small Business in America succeeds because of the level of commitment they have for their employees and customers.
As a small business, ESS Global takes the extra steps needed to insure our employees uphold our mission, morals and values when providing security services and security training here in Florida and around the country.
ESS Global is committed to security protocols that exceed big business.
 

Another Record for Background Checks

Another month, and yet another record for background checks.

March 2016 was the 11th consecutive month of record background checks for retail gun sales in the U.S.

ESS Global Concealed Carry Classes in TampaThe background check streak that began in May 2015. Last May saw more background checks than any May on record. That continued with June 2015 setting the all-time record for every June, July for the month of July, August for the month of August, all the way up to and including March 2016.
According to the FBI, the number of background checks performed in March was 2,523,265. That beats the previous March record of 2,488,842, which was set two years ago in 2014.
This streak of consecutive record-breaking months includes December 2015, which not only broke the record for background checks in December but also broke the all-time monthly background checks record as well.
It is important to remember that background checks do not translate into an exact figure for the number of firearms sold because a background check is not performed on a specific firearm, but rather on a specific buyer. If the buyer fails the check, the purchase is denied. But, after passing the check, the buyer can purchase multiple guns if they so choose. This means the 2,523,265 checks performed in last month could easily translate into 5,046,530 guns sold in March, if everyone who passed a check bought just two firearms.
So while w don’t know the exact number of firearm purchased last month….
What we do know is that last month, the FBI had their busiest March ever.
Another record for background checksThe 11 month streak correlates with a surge in gun sales fueled by fears of mass shootings, terrorism, and the prospect of stricter firearm laws in the future.
With 7,682,141 checks done already this year, it’s a fairly safe bet that 2016 will break another annual sales record.
