GI Bill Approved Bodyguard School

GI Bill Approved Bodyguard School
A Bodyguard, or Executive Protection Specialist, protects clients from threats such as assault, kidnapping and stalking. While bodyguards and close protection specialists must be prepared to force if necessary, much of the protection is the result of assessing threats and advance planning. In other words, it’s not just brawn but brains as well.
Clients are often celebrities, CEO’s, politicians and their families as well as others in the public eye who are more at risk than an ordinary citizen. For a deeper look at the world of Executive Protection, read our Beginner’s Guide to Executive Protection.
