For Security & Protection Specialists

Byron Rodgers, CEO, Bravo Research Group discussing EP developments and priorities with Christian West, CEO, AS Solution and Ivor Terret, Founder and GM of Enablement Advisors

 

The IPSB (International Protective Security Board) third annual conference has just concluded in Las Vegas with a wealth of around 300 operators with additional corporate security accounts and select solution providers.

Emerging from traditional associations and institutes like the ESI, EPI, and Nine Lives, the IPSB annual conference, since its inception in 2016, has developed into a US and also an international staple in the EP and executive security calendar.

Topics high on the agenda this year included:

  • Understanding the psychology of potential aggressors
  • Incorporating technology into EP work and dynamic risk assessments
  • Collaboration with other branches of executive security including celebrity, family office, and public sector actors
  • The importance of specialism to achieve career success as a solo operator
  • International child slavery rescue and response
  • Covert surveillance and operational adaptation

As well as several key talks on the global security landscape and the relevance of understanding local political contexts for operators at all levels

The event was, as always, an excellent opportunity for networking and also contained a special ‘Women in Protection’ reception as well as the whole traditional forum mixers. Delegates were also treated to professional headshots, recruitment exercises, and the much-anticipated pre-conference shooting event.

All in all, this year’s conference was a great occasion and definitely a date for the diary, for future events.

COVID-19 and the Executive Protection

As practitioners, our responsibilities are many: protection of the client from physical harm, protection of the client from self-embarrassment, etc. Now, that the restrictions in the post COVID-19 era are starting to be lifted in some areas, Clients, and other high-net-worth individuals will be more aware of the area in which they are located, lodging, and traveling to.

Ways to See the Threat Before it Happens

Threat modelling is widely in use, whether knowingly or not, across every walk of life – and has been used since time immemorial to prioritise security defences. The only difference between the well-known risk assessments carried out by everyone and threat modelling in cyber security is the attempt to document and systemise it. I am hoping that this idea of formal threat modelling will be a useful tool for you to use in your future arsenal of available resources as a CP operator.

Keeping Your Edge: Building a Solid Foundation

Longevity, consistency and remaining relevant are some primary goals of all protectors. These factors are important when establishing a new contract and providing services for a new client. But what is equally important is the mindset that goes into those first days and weeks on the assignment. As such, I wanted to get the personal perspective of Vantrell Wilson, a close protection agent who I have trained with and worked alongside of for years now.

Church Security – The Five R’s of Venue Protection

People go to church for all kinds of reasons but almost no one goes to find trouble.  The ones that do go for that purpose are the reason your church has a security team or ministry.   Unfortunately, over the last twenty years “Trouble” has been finding its way into church for the simple reason that for the most part, we welcome it.  Church is still the place that welcomes anyone in any condition to come to find help.  

George W. Bush

US Presidential Security Support

One memorable occasion was the visit by President George W. Bush to Manila, the Philippines, in October 2003, when he on his way to Thailand, where he was to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. This visit served as a great example of how much of an asset you can be for the protective elements if you know and apply protective operations principles.

What to Do about School Shootings?

As security professionals, we must not allow ourselves to be caught up in either politics or hysteria. Our approach must reflect what we have been trained to do: dispassionately apply sound security principles to this security threat.

After every such event, the blame begins. Some blame the National Rifle Association (NRA), gun owners in general, and Donald Trump in particular, and call for banning firearms, or at least banning AR-15-type rifles.  Others blame video games, violent movies, the culture, or the Kardashians.  And the political games continue.
