Close protection
Vetted officers and proper planning. Most gaps show up before the incident, not during it.

The problem
Close protection usually fails at the planning stage rather than at the moment of contact. Routes become predictable, schedules leak, and the diary itself is often the biggest source of exposure.
How we approach it
- We start with the pattern of life. The risk is usually in the routine rather than the event.
- Routes and venues are checked in advance, with alternatives planned rather than improvised.
- Officers are chosen for the assignment and the setting, with the discretion the role needs.
- We coordinate with venue and event teams, so your cover is not working against the building.
Every deliverable, in full
Open any of these to see what it contains and when it arrives. Nothing here is a line item we have not explained.
We start with the pattern of life, because the risk is usually in the routine rather than in the event everybody is worrying about.
- Pattern of life review and where it is predictable
- Where the schedule leaks, including through third parties
- Digital exposure that reveals movements
- Realistic threat picture for this principal, not a generic one
When you get it: Before any officer is proposed.
Routes and venues checked in advance, with alternatives planned rather than improvised on the day.
- Primary and alternate routes, timed
- Venue access, exits and holding areas
- Medical and emergency provision along the route
- Coordination with venue and event security
When you get it: Ahead of the movement, with alternates ready before they are needed.
Officers selected for the assignment and the setting, chosen for discretion as much as capability.
- SIA close protection licence, checked and in date
- BS 7858 screening completed
- Matched to the principal, the setting and the profile required
- Briefed on the assessment before deployment
When you get it: Confirmed to you before the assignment begins, never a name you meet on the day.
What happened, what was noticed, and what should change before the next movement.
- Movement record and anything of note
- Observations about exposure and predictability
- Recommendations for the next assignment
- Held securely, shared only with those you name
When you get it: Within one week of the assignment.
