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.

Who Regulates Executive Protection?

Posted on

Ever wonder who regulates Executive Protection? What “license” is needed? Who governs it? “C” or “D”? Good or Bad?

Who Regulates Executive Protection?

who regulates executive protection trainingIn most every state, there is no oversight of the Executive Protection Industry. No licenses, no state certifications.
At ESS Global Corp, much like the rest of the Executive Protection and Security industry, we are eagerly awaiting the day when Executive Protection will have its own license. No more wondering if you need a C, D or any other letter in the alphabet license that there is.
For years, industry professionals have been trying to figure out why Executive Protection has been lumped under the same license as Private Investigation. Especially when the two industries are so extremely different. We all know that the State-mandated C License course covers about 2% of what you need to know to work in the Executive Protection industry. But the fact that Executive Protection is lumped under the C License has made it a bit more difficult for those with aspirations of entering the Executive Protection industry.
But, is that a bad thing? Let’s talk about Executive Protection being just under the D License.

What would happen if lumped in with the “D” License?

who regulates executive protectionNow, the requirements to enter the Executive Protection industry would be much easier if it were classified under the class D License, but at the same time, what types of individuals would now, by law, qualify to do Executive Protection work?
You got it!
Those same lackluster individuals that sat next to you in your D License training course that you said in the back of your mind, “I can’t believe this guy is going to be protecting somebody or securing an area!” Just think, you and Paul Blart working the same Executive Protection detail! The mall cop next to you during your threat analysis…
And let’s talk about what this will do to the pay rates in the Executive Protection industry. Now that any security guard qualifies as an Executive Protection agent (by law only), prospective clients will use those same security rates when it comes to pay. Additionally, you’ll see security companies offering Executive Protection services (because they can by law) and asking for security guard rates. This will totally undercut true Executive Protection companies and lower the bar for the entire industry. There are companies already doing this is the “D” arena. You know of them. They bid jobs at ridiculously low rates and then put out a Craigslist ad to fill them.
Well, we hope you found this insightful – Until then, stay alert and stay safe!
 

Executive Protection – Which Defensive Tactics Work Best?

Posted on

When it comes to executive protection, the most common discussion is “Which Defensive Tactics Work Best?” To which we have a one word answer.

Which Defensive Tactics Work Best?

which defensive tactics work best?“Which defensive tactics work best?” This is a question that defensive tactics experts and bodyguard instructors have debated and continue to debate. But, in reality, the answer is simple. I don’t care what defensive tactics or martial arts discipline you train in or feel that you have mastered, because the answer is always the same. ALL experienced executive protection agents will agree that the best defensive tactic we have as agents, that will give us the greatest chance of survival and least chance of injury to us or our clients, is AVOIDANCE.

Which Defensive Tactics Work Best? Avoidance

Avoidance is our best defensive tactic.
This is not the industry you enter into to get a charge or to prove your manhood. As we like to say in the executive protection industry, “boring is good!” Why? A boring day is a safe day. It means that we have done our jobs so well, that an attack on our client wasn’t possible or was thwarted.
For that reason, back to avoidance and how it can benefit us by keeping the job boring. The moment we see a possible oncoming threat, avoidance allows us to go another direction, choose another route, pick another restaurant, and so on. We live to fight another day. There is no lack of respect when an executive protection agent chooses avoidance over turmoil and conflict.how-to-become-a-bodyguard
This is exactly why ESS Global Corp’s D.O.E Approved Executive Protection Training Course typically spends 2-3 hours on defensive tactics and utilizes the vast majority of time teaching you Executive Protection principles. It’s because we can say that there is no way, even whenever we used a whole day on defensive tactics, that you will be proficient enough to be effective utilizing those techniques in the field. We use those 2-3 hours as an eye opener to demonstrate to our students that there are other areas of training available to make them better agents.
If you have any questions about defensive tactics, executive protection, security training or different martial arts disciplines, please inquire and we will give you our insight.

We hope this has helped, and until next time, stay alert and stay safe!
