Florida Close Protection Services

Close Protection is sometimes known as Executive Protection or Bodyguarding, Close Protection revolves around protecting people, their possessions and in some cases their property;  whether it’s from criminals, terrorists, trouble-makers or the attentions of over-zealous fans. Much of the work in Close Protection is about developing ways to mitigate risks for that particular client and the environment in which they are in. The main purpose of Close Protection is to establish and maintain a safe environment in which a Principal (the person being protected) can live and work, all while we continually minimizing risk to themselves and their family/loved ones.

handcuff training at ESS GlobalAs stated in the Florida Private Investigator Handbook, an applicant for a Florida Class “G” Statewide Firearm license must have a minimum of twenty-eight (28) hours of range and classroom training within the past (12) months.  This training must be taught and administered by a Class “K” Firearms Instructor.

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.

Executive Protection Certifications

While there are no authentic Executive Protection certifications, there are valid Secondary Executive Protection Certifications that you’ll need to have.

Executive Protection Certifications

If you are considering a career in the rapidly growing executive protection field, know that in the protection/security industry, there is no “license”, there is no state testing, and their are no state boards in most states. Consequently, in nearly every state, there are no Executive Protection Certifications. Executive Protection Training is usually lumped into the same category as Security Guards or Private Investigation and has very little to do with either.
Yet online, we see training to earn your “certified protection specialist credentials” advertised on various websites. Unfortunately, nobody is regulating these schools, training centers and trainers. So know this; No government agency regulates or monitors what is taught and who is teaching it. Thus, anybody off the street could be teaching you, and you could be paying for false, misleading, inaccurate information.
The “protection credentials” you are handed at the end of the training, is simply a piece of paper from the trainer and nothing more.

How ESS Global is Different

executive protection or bodyguard? - executive protection!
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 Department of Education (D.O.E.), and only a select few elite schools are D.O.E. approved and certified for executive protection training. 

But there are important Secondary Executive Protection Certifications that can further your career in the security/protection field.

Secondary Executive Protection Certifications

The ASP Basic Certification (ABC) is a 7-hour, hands-on seminar which trains participants in the operational use of the ASP Tactical Baton. The program is simple to learn and easy to understand. It provides effective defensive impact weapon tactics for law enforcement and private security personnel, as well as responsible civilians without long hours of training. The techniques were designed to work effectively for all users, male and female, large and small, fit as well as those in less-than-peak physical condition.
The program provides portation (carrying) and presentation (drawing) procedures as well as striking techniques. These tactics are quickly learned, easily practiced and readily maintained long after the program is completed.

handcuff training at ESS GlobalThe ASP Basic Handcuff Certification (ABC) is a 4-hour, hands-on seminar which trains participants in the operational use of the hinged and chain handcuffs, as well as the proprietary ASP flex-cuffs. The program is simple to learn and easy to understand. It provides effective mechanical restraint tactics for law enforcement and private security personnel without long hours of training. The techniques were designed to work effectively for all users, male and female, large and small, fit as well as those in less-than-peak physical condition.
The program provides portation (carrying) and presentation (drawing) procedures as well as application techniques. These tactics are quickly learned, easily practiced and readily maintained long after the program is completed.


This four (4) hour end-user level certification program focuses on the deployment, handling and documentation of the use of OC (oleoresin capsicum) chemical aerosols.
This course will train the police officer or private security officer in the use of aerosols tactics and will help protect both the officer as well as their agency from costly litigation issues that could arise from the use of OC aerosol projectors.
This program addresses proper deployment techniques, situational requirements and situational appropriateness of various projectors, defensive and retention contamination drills, decontamination, proper use-of-force reporting and operational guidelines.
Pepper spray can save your life — but it can also make a dangerous encounter worse.
PREREQUISITES: This class is restricted to sworn public law enforcement officers and licensed private security officers only.

There is a saying we love around the office here;

Concealed Carry Class in OrlandoBrandishing a firearm is not the solution to every confrontation, but rather taking action first will always beat reacting last.

That being said, there are times you may need to carry. So you will need a Concealed Carry Permit. In most every state including here in Florida where our corporate office is, you’ll need to take a concealed weapons class in order to successfully apply for your permit to carry a weapon.
