Frequently asked questions

In this section, you can find some of our most frequently asked questions and answers about our close protection services:

Close protection security focuses on protecting an individual (or small group) from a range of different threats, including kidnapping, assault, personal theft, and verbal and physical abuse. This is done by a specifically trained professional who has received extensive guidance on how to address threats, monitor for issues, and ensure continuous protection at all times.

A close protection officer protects a person’s safety by managing unexpected risks, monitoring their surroundings, and staying alert to any changes in their environment. They will provide physical protection while proactively planning daily routes, venue visits, and travel to mitigate security risks in advance. They will also coordinate with others, such as drivers and other security teams, to ensure everyone follows the same safety plans.

No. In the UK, carrying firearms is illegal, and close protection officers are no different. They’re also not legally allowed to carry other weapons. Your expert close protection officer will instead be trained to defuse situations, de-escalate any issues, and use physical intervention and restraint where needed.

Close protection is often recommended for VIPs, high-net-worth individuals, and those in positions of power, but anyone can request close protection. This might be due to issues with harassment and stalking, concerns for personal safety, or when handling particularly expensive or valuable items.
