Important Clarification: This course in intended to provide a valuable

overview of the VIP / Executive Protection Industry. It IS NOT

intended to “LICENSE” anyone as an agent upon completion.

If you commit these pages to memory… put the ideas into practice…

and develop a low-key and nice disposition, you’ll be way ahead of the

competition. Combine that, with a solid set of hand-to-hand skills and

verbal de-escalation abilities – and you’ll hear the words “You’re Hired”

as an entry level agent or “You’re Accepted” by a big-name school.

Stay safe and good luck! – Brian K. Allen

Welcome to the World of Executive Protection As an executive protection agent, you could work internationally or stay in your own country. You could work as a celebrity bodyguard, as a corporate protection agent, or as a private agent protecting a wealthy client, etc. You also have opportunities to work as a personal travel escort or sensitive asset courier. You will have exciting days and you will have very boring days. No matter how you look at it... this industry is fantastic, challenging and interesting in every way! You see... this industry is cloaked in mystery to most people. What we intend to do with this course is un-cloak our industry for you. We've found that people who've been on the job for a couple of years sometimes don't fully understand our industry. This can be corrected very quickly if we instill a "Constant and Never-Ending Improvement" mindset in our team mates and co-workers. For a lot of agents, all it would take is reading one or two books (written by EP experts) at least two times... to open their eyes and really see this career for what it is. Our goal is to be PROFESSIONAL! We can become this way by studying our craft and constantly improving our attributes. Too often we see applicants focusing 100% on their powerlifting, mma & shooting skills and then placing those accomplishments on their resumes. We've interviewed a lot of people who fit that mold, and had to make the decision not to hire them because they were missing the essence of our profession. Now, that doesn't mean that they were "bad" agents or employees... it just means they haven't been trained properly yet.

YOU will be trained properly! Our goal is to provide you with the information necessary to develop the skills & abilities that will place you in the top 10% of this field. So... what is Executive Protection? It's an industry made up of modern-day samurai's who protect their "client" or "principle" from bodily harm, embarrassment, or even things that put delays in their schedule. In Rob Oatman's book, "The Art of Executive Protection", he states... "Anyone can protect anyone." This is mostly true as long as that person has the ability, skills & resources to do so. You don't have to be a 20-year police or military veteran to succeed in this field. As long as you have a positive attitude, low key demeanor, and can get along with people on all levels... you can succeed! So, welcome to our world! It's been very good to me and I know it will be for you!

Verbal De-escalation Considerations Our main mission in Executive & VIP Protection is to prevent intentional or unintentional acts of harm from reaching our client. In addition, we need to protect and improve (whenever possible) our client's reputation. Every time we interact with people on our clients’ behalf... we have the opportunity to do just that! Now, when "steering" an overly anxious fan away or removing a trespasser from the property... a most important skill we need to utilize is Verbal De-escalation. This becomes extremely important when the person we're dealing with is threatening us physically or berating us verbally. We have to keep our cool, watch our language, and be aware of our body language. I've seen some veteran agents deflect punches from angry spectators... take their verbal cussing... wrap them up physically without hitting them... and remove them from the area! All this gets done without throwing the idiot a, "Bouncer Beating"!

I challenge you to study the material below. Even if you've gone through similar training in the past... do it again! These instructors are among the best in this area, and you will learn something new every time we're exposed to their material.

Are You A "Super Nanny"? Why Not? O.K. - So you're a trained and reputable EP Agent. You have about 5 years experience. You train in martial arts daily and are in great shape. You can name 10 terrorist organizations (and their methods) off the top of your head. You have a great haircut and really cool sunglasses! That's all great, but why should I hire you over the other 50 guys I've found with the same qualifications? What if I'm going to assign you to watch my children? Are you qualified to watch my kids? More importantly, are you REALLY GOOD working with children and are they comfortable with you? One way to answer yes to those questions is to obtain professional training in the babysitting & nanny areas. People laugh at me sometimes when I mention this, but you need to sit up straight & listen. YOU are a PRODUCT & SERVICE! That being the case, you need to improve your "Price to Value" ratio and have a "Unique Selling Proposition" or USP.

There are plenty of tough & trained agents out there... but not so many "polished" folks that have the training just mentioned. For more info, check out the resources below and take a serious look at adding to your skill sets!

Training in this area is not common for the professional bodyguard... and admittingly, not mandatory. However - since WHEN are we about "the minimum standard"??? The picture below is Director Brian Allen on the far left in 2002, when he was overseas assigned to an Ambassador’s children.

Fundamentals of Protection Diamond Formation The "Diamond Formation" is the basic formation used in EP work. It is very flexible in a couple of different ways. First it can simply open wide or close in tight depending on how many people are around. Second it can quickly change into a wedge or box formation when needed. Finally, assigning ‘areas of responsibilities’ (AOR's) is very simple in this formation... even when changing directions / roles. One thing to remember is this, all formations should adjust to "accommodate the practical and political realities" your client is involved in. Whenever an agent cannot be placed between your client and fans/onlookers... ensure that each person approaching and leaving your client is under complete observation.

Version 19 Page 9 of 68

Basic Protection Detail Positions When you’re fortunate enough to have a client that can afford a 5-agent team, you can assign each agent a specific position. Now, depending on what formation the environment calls for… some shifting will occur. For now, let’s review the basic positions: (1) The Proximity Agent, Detail Leader, AIC / Agent In Charge

The Proximity Agent or ‘Detail Leader’ walks to the right of the principal. The Detail Leader should be within arm’s reach of the principal. He/she is responsible for covering and removing the principal in the event of an attack.

(2) The Point Agent

The Point Agent guides the team, blocks and defends against potential threats from the front of the protective formation.

(3) The Flank Agent ( 2 agents… one on each side)

The Flank Agent blocks and defends against potential threats from the sides of the protective formation.

(4) The Rear Agent

The Rear Agent blocks and defends against potential threats from the rear of the protective formation.

Anticipating Loss Probability For Your Client In the safety disciplines, whether we're focused on Occupational Safety (i.e. - Lock out / Tag out or Slip & Fall) or VIP

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 10 of 68

Version 19 Page 10 of 68

Protection (i.e. Protective Details or Facility Security) - there is a cycle that we must continuously operate through. In that cycle, there are three main functions that pertain to evaluating loss probability. Those functions are:

1.) Recognize 2.) Evaluate and 3.) Control hazards and/or threats.

The tool we use is a "survey" or “threat assessment”. This is often a preprinted form that has hopefully been customized for your specific need, client or facility. Specific to the survey process are three functions:

Measurement Conducting a survey / audit to determine

a.) the nature of potential vulnerabilities and b.) whether or not current policies and goals are being met.

Evaluation The determination of how the situation and/or survey results can be applied to counteract the vulnerabilities. Correction The tasks & improvements that are applied as a result of the evaluation.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 11 of 68

Version 19 Page 11 of 68

The measurement, evaluation, and correction process is reflected in the following key survey questions:

1.) What is the evidence of the existence of a security vulnerability? (Measurement) 2.) How critical is this vulnerability to the safety of corporate personnel and their dependants as well as continued operation of the Corporation. (Evaluation) 3.) What level of security is needed to neutralize the vulnerability? (Correction)

There are five required steps to the implementation of the survey process:

1.) Planning and designing survey procedures. 2.) Designing the survey format. 3.) Conducting the survey. (Threat assessment) 4.) Preparing recommendations. 5.) Implementing Recommendations.

When survey recommendations are designed, they must reflect the corporate security policy if applicable. In addition, when designed - a survey should include all areas of: physical and personal assets; along with information that is vulnerable to any form of internal or external threats. In conclusion, run a self check and stay aware of how well you are assessing your client's vulnerabilities.

Version 19 Page 12 of 68

Is Your Threat Assessment Complete? Add these questions to your Threat Assessment: 1.) What is my client's race? ... Religion? ... Skin Color? ... Political Affiliation? ... Moral Beliefs? ... Occupational Industry? ... Name of Company? ... Favorite Charity / Cause? 2.) Who or what group may want to harm my client because of the above? 3.) What is my client's temperament? Is he/she aggressive when confronted... or mild mannered and calm? Why these questions? It's very easy for an agent (especially us "Solo Operators") to get caught up in the "overt" threat that caused the client to call us in the 1st place:

a.) HR Director is threatened by former employee b.) Woman is being stalked by Ex-lover

However, a professional understands that most of the time, our clients are just as much at risk from “crimes of opportunity”... as they are “the obvious threat”. Make sure you look at the Big Picture and provide your client with a first-rate threat assessment. It may save their life... and will definitely make you look like a TRUE PROFESSIONAL!

Version 19 Page 13 of 68

A.C.E. - Alert, Cover and Evacuate This "tool" is great for helping us to remember what to do when our client is exposed to a threat. The concept is a simple one... yet can be forgotten or just ignored if an agent is of the wrong temperament or hasn't been trained properly. For example, if a drunken individual in a club is involved in an argument with a person sitting in proximity to our client... an appropriate response may be:

1.) Notify the team of the threat. (Hand & arm signals should be o.k. in this scenario) 2.) Position yourself between the drunk and your client. 3.) Have a team member ask Club management to have the person removed and/or move to a better location in the bar.

That's A.C.E. in a small yet more probable scenario. A larger scenario may be if you're protecting a Human Resources Director at a speaking engagement. During her speech - a former employee (who blames her for a recent layoff) attempts to attack her with a firearm. As the first team member spots the threat, an appropriate response may be: 1.) Notify the team of the threat. (Shout GUN - 3 o'clock!) 2.) Shield the client with your body. Use the "Bend & Turn" technique and... 3.) Evacuate using a predetermined route with the team forming a "Spartan Circle" around the AIC & the client during the move! That's A.C.E. in a nutshell. Try to come up with different scenarios and determine how you and your team would respond.

W.A.R. - Within Arms Reach This "tool" helps us to do two basic things:

1.) Focus our hand-to-hand combat studies. 2.) Make the decision on "who" we make contact with during a threatening encounter.

The first is simple. Although some people develop great skill (and have fun) working on high kicks and spinning movements... they have very limited value when working a protective mission. Instead, we need to be experts at our deflection and jamming techniques... followed by joint locking & pressure points. Remember, a real fight happens in the space of a small closet... or in our terms - W.A.R.! Second, it helps in decision making. Unless my team has a SOP that dictates different – I can use W.A.R. to decide what to do during an attack. For example, if my team is walking our client down a "meet and greet" line... and a knife wielding attacker jumps out towards our client - what should I do? Well... who is W.A.R.? The client or the bad guy? If the client is... I will "C" or cover him - thus shielding from the attack. If the bad guy is W.A.R. - I will intercept and smother him... allowing my team to evacuate the client. This may be why we've been called "human shields" or "bullet catchers"!

Is Kidnap & Ransom Insurance Real? Yes! This insurance is available from a few insurers around the globe. Most policies I’ve been exposed to are written by Lloyds of London. However, more and more companies are offering these indemnity policies. In today’s world we're seeing more kidnappings occurring where the bad guys are demanding an "action" of some type (i.e. Leave the country, free the prisoners, etc.) But still – ransom is present, and the topic of insurance is a big one. Kidnap and ransom insurance or K&R insurance is designed to protect individuals and corporations operating in high-risk areas around the world. Locations most often named in policies include Mexico, Venezuela, Haiti, and Nigeria, certain other countries in Latin America, as well as some parts of the Russian Federation and Eastern Europe. Central Asia is also seeing increasing numbers of incidents, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq. K&R insurance policies typically cover the perils of kidnap, extortion, wrongful detention, and hijacking. K&R policies are indemnity policies – they reimburse a loss incurred by the insured. The policies do not pay ransoms on the behalf of the insured. Typically, the insured must first pay the ransom, thus incurring the loss, and then seek reimbursement under the policy. How would you like to be a decision maker with these two options?

a.) Pay the ransom & hope the bad guys return our VIP. or b.) Send / hire a rescue team & hope we get our VIP back.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 16 of 68

Version 19 Page 16 of 68

Not a pleasant thought, is it? There are pro's and con's to paying ransom. Just remember, every situation is different, and the specifics of the situation combined with an impact analysis will be the two main factors when a company is placed in this type of horrible situation. A great note about insurance companies is that they often have surveys and checklists available for their clients. These are a great tool for you to use. I've worked with people in the past that didn't like insurance survey's at all because they exceeded what was required by law or company policy - and those counter measures cost $$$. They also say the surveys are geared toward saving the insurance companies money. Maybe those concerns are valid, however if the by-product of following the insurance companies recommendations equals a safer VIP... it needs to be considered - PERIOD!

Foundations of Physical Security

Security Fundamentals & Concepts It can be very easy for those of us working in standard detail assignments to slow our learning curve and just focus on our day in & day out responsibilities. But this is not for you! You want to be the type of agent that can articulate the concepts outlined below... on the spur of a moment. That spur of a moment may often be during a conversation with a potential client, when bidding on a job. I mean no disrespect, but a lot of the agents I've worked with base their whole "Reason To Hire Me" on their distant past. Our past is very important and all of us bring a unique 'life-history' to this profession. However, in order to stay at in the top 10% of EP Agents out there, we must combine our previous life-history with our current knowledge (and ability to articulate that...) along with impeccable customer service & a pleasant (not gung-ho) demeanor. Remember, when tooting your own horn... be able to tell the potential client, "This is what I did years ago & this is what I'm doing today!" Below are some concepts that you can use to enhance your understanding of the security profession. I know for some of you, it will be a review... which is always good for us!

Security Program "Musts" When complete, our security or protection program must do these five things:

Deter... the bad guy from attempting to compromise our client. Also known as 'Harden the Target' Detect... any attempt of a compromise

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 18 of 68

Version 19 Page 18 of 68

Delay... the bad guys once they've begun their attack. Alert... the Control Room & others as appropriate Respond... the C.A.T (Counter Assault Team) and authorities if appropriate.

"The Seven Components of the Security Process"

As the Detail Leader or Security Mgr of a site... you must survey and develop your security programs continually. Easy to say... hard to do when the day-to-day activities are kick'n our butts! The model below can assist you... when combined with good scheduling practices and a pre-planned annual calendar.

1.) Threat Assessment 2.) Risk Assessment 3.) Asset Determination 4.) Prevention - Develop Countermeasures 5.) Evaluate Countermeasures 6.) Develop Contingencies 7.) Evaluate Contingencies 8.) Cycle Back To #1

Rings Of Security The rings of security will have a different meaning to the person assigned as AIC (Agent in Charge) of a person, as opposed to the Shift Leader in charge of Resident or Facility Security. Review the differences below and see if & how they can be used to improve your assignment. "AIC, working with the Principal"

Small Airports - Sticking To The Basics! When looking at the security industry as a whole, there seems to be a huge variance in knowledge and skills between front-line personnel and management. This gap is one that can be easily improved on by consistently training the staff. Large in-service training programs are not needed most of the time. Simple drills... combined with short quizzes can do the trick. (Especially when the top scoring folks are recognized...) My experience in a number of cases, is that management sometimes wants to "horde" the good info for themselves. Whether this is due to insecurity or a belief that their staff isn't interested - is of no matter. The bottom line is that in today’s dynamic world - security folks AT ALL LEVELS need to be adequately trained. If you supervise security staff in any way... please "lead" them, don't just "manage" them. We lead by guiding, training, and demonstrating by example when appropriate. One person who is a true leader in the industry is Robert Garner, CPP. Robert has put together a basic manual that is specific to small airports - and makes it available on his website... at no charge. You can download his manual on your courseware page.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 20 of 68

Version 19 Page 20 of 68

While a lot of security manuals have great information... at times the info isn't usable on a daily basis. Robert’s manual is different. He has eliminated all the fluff, but more importantly - has arranged his material in perfect order. This greatly increases the reader’s interest and retention. After studying the manual, consider using it as a discussion piece during training breaks... briefings... or guard mounts.

Personal Security Considerations Your clients’ personal security should be your #1 priority. That may seem obvious... but why then do a lot of agents ignore the idea of "training" their client's? During "down time" - I believe it is crucial to train your client. This can be a challenge sometimes because the client may not be interested in "training". Still, it is our job to consistently attempt to educate him or her. If the client says... "I don't want to be trained... that's why I have you!" You should reply with something to the effect of, "Yes, and I am well prepared to keep you out of harms way. However, if I'm eliminated, I want you to have the highest probability of survival... and training will allow us to have that.” (Obviously, you should change the verbiage to words that reflect your own style.) I have found that 5 minute "mini trainings" work GREAT! They are pre-planned and thought out sessions. However, since they are so short... they can be held whenever the opportunity presents itself. Some of you may know this as "opportunity" or "ad hoc" training. The best way to do this is to do it by NOT telling the principle they are being trained. One way that has worked for me in the past is to ask the client for a quick moment of their time. When granted, I'd follow-up with something like, "Sir, I recently heard of a situation where "fill in the blank" happened. Due to the fact that you and I are in a similar situation... I wanted to discuss a plan of action with you

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 21 of 68

Version 19 Page 21 of 68

and get your input." Even though you've stated you'd like their input... 99% of the time, they'll just agree and abide by what you instruct them. I'll then proceed with a quick presentation on how we will respond if "fill in the blank" happens. Future mini-trainings may just be a review & quiz of a past training. The bottom line is this... educate your client whenever appropriate. One agent told me that I would "de-value" my services by training my clients... and possibly lose a contract extension. That's JUNK and don't believe it. Steven Segal, Sly Stallone, and Mike Tyson can protect themselves just fine... but they have still utilized EP agents. Why? Because we make their life safer... and easier!!! Training or Educating our clients WILL increase their survivability chances. Surviving isn't always pretty... but when the stuff hits the fan... it's all that matters. Ideas for mini-trainings:

1.) Code Words & Phrases 2.) Hand & Arm Signals Between Agent & Client 3.) Hand To Hand Combat 4.) Verbal Skills / Conflict De-escalation

How To Determine Threat Level’s Prior to accepting an assignment or job, you have to determine the "Threat Level". Once determined, the threat level will affect how much you charge the client... what resources you'll need... or even a decision NOT to accept the job. This information will come from a three stage process. The first stage is an interview with the client. This is when they will tell you the reasons they need protection, and the scope of work that is expected. I want to caution you here... the client may lie to you about the dangers of the job! I learned this from a Bodyguard Instructor a long

time ago named Bill Ungerman. (His course also taught me how the threat assessments work...) That means you need to interview the potential client as much as they are interviewing you. Why would they lie? Well... so that you won't charge as much or if money is not an issue... maybe they're

afraid you won't accept the job - if you know how dangerous it is! That's where the second phase will help you. This phase is intelligence gathering. Conduct an investigation on everything the client told you in the interview. After you're done collecting facts, you'll move into the third phase. Phase three is just a follow-up with the client to clear up any open items. Below are the four threat levels as they were taught to me:

Level One: No contact is expected, but if contact is made… less-lethal force will be used.

"A terrorist has to be lucky only once! We have to be lucky all the time!!!" - All Of Us

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 23 of 68

Version 19 Page 23 of 68

Level Two: Contact is strictly less-lethal. (Minor threats of violence, Personal travel escort to concerts, bars, etc.) Level Three: Must have weapons involved; Deadly force is a probable option. Level Four: Contact is obvious or unavoidable. Most third world countries or situations dealing with known violent criminals. Semi and Automatic rifles will be necessary.

After you have your threat level assessed, it's time to write up the contract and go to work! This is just a brief overview, so re-read this section and put it to memory. A lot of agents don't do this!

Important Client Information One of the most important things an agent can do is put together a Client Information File. I start the process by having my clients complete a questionnaire as soon as I'm hired or assigned to them. An interesting item to note is that my experience has shown me that 80% of the agents out there do NOT do this. An agent that can request this information and receive it, is a true professional. This is very personal information and confidentiality is paramount! So when presenting this questionnaire to the client or his admin, you must do so in a confident manner and "expect" them to comply with your wishes.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 24 of 68

Version 19 Page 24 of 68

Having this information will allow you to elevate the service you provide exponentially. And remember... we are in the "service" business! Not only will having this information allow you to assist in making the clients day progress in a smooth & efficient manner... but should a kidnapping ever occur, you can verify his/her voice, prints, blood type, handwriting, etc. Having this information on hand will assist any investigator (Law Enforcement or Insurance, etc.) save huge amounts of time in locating your principle. The more info below that you're able to obtain... the more you can assist with estate matters if appropriate. This often times allows your client to stay back in more secure locations while you have other folks handle nuisance matters. I've included a list of items that I learned from Jerry Glazebrook... one of the most professional instructors I've ever met. I hope it helps you as much as it has me! Place this info in your file and you'll be on your way.

1. Name & Aliases (if any) 2. Address (home & work) 3. Phone #'s (home, work, cell) 4. Physical description, including any abnormalities, scars, tattoos, beard or moustache.

5. Voice tape of client & family members.

* Face to face video * Phone recording

6. Handwriting sample 7. Fingerprints

Wardrobe & Equipment Considerations This topic was never really covered for me in my Military training... and was covered in depth in my education from Executive Security International. But the best "Quick Overview" on the matter that I'd ever received was from a course put on by Roger Hair and his company... Hawk East, Inc. This information is made up from the notes I collected from that course and my field experience. The topic of "Wardrobe" isn't the most exciting for agents... but it's more important than running around with an ear-piece shooting an automatic rifle, like some schools have you do. I saw a video where veteran instructor Tom Carter said he'd rather see a student spend a few hundred $$$ on a good suit than a hand gun! I agree, because more than ½ of my assignments are not appropriate for carrying a weapon. Wardrobe Considerations Unless you work for a 3rd party company that provides Executive Protection... you may wonder, "What should I wear while providing EP services to my client?" Most 3rd party companies have details wearing nice slacks & shirts with coat and tie. When running your own company however, you'll quickly find out that your wardrobe needs to run the full spectrum of styles & colors. In my case, if you were to follow me for a 7-day period... you would see me go from (1) khaki shorts w/ball cap & baggy shirt (covering my concealed weapon, pepper spray and impact weapon) to (2) Polo shirt & Dockers to (3) Shirt and tie. In addition, sometimes I wear glasses and sometimes I don't. You'll have to figure out your different "looks" and most importantly, if working in a corporate environment... follow the #1 rule: "Dress like the client - but not better!"

If you're like me and need help picking out clothes , ask the sales person at the store or just look at the manikins. Here are a couple of quick tips given by Veteran Agent - Thomas Carter:

1.) No double-breasted suits.

Trying to draw a weapon of any type from a double-breasted suit is difficult.

Leaving a double-breasted jacket open looks sloppy, while a single breasted jacket can be left open for easy weapon / radio access and still look presentable.

2.) A $400 wool blend suit will serve you well, because it won't wrinkle as bad. Look at someone who's wearing a different type as they get out of a car and notice how their back looks. 3.) Shoes - NO Loafers! If you try running with these puppies on, you just may have an embarrassing moment... and possible a deadly one if you're trying to evacuate the principle from danger. Veteran EP agent Thomas Carter recommends RockPorts. I've also had good experience with RockPorts, Sketchers and Dockers.

Equipment Considerations 1.) Communications - Ensure you have cell phones or radios that work! Also, make sure all agents have matching phone # rosters. 2.) Firearms - O.k., for handguns Sig, Glock, Smith & Wesson, and Springfield. That should cover that. Shotguns are also extremely valuable. I often disagree with people when they say a 12 gauge is the only type to get. Although this is an awesome weapon, and also the one I was "raised" with in the Military... I also know the benefits of a 20 gauge (with twice the knock down power of a .45 hand gun) in a

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 29 of 68

Version 19 Page 29 of 68

residential setting. So be open-minded and consider your application along with penetration ranges beyond your target. 3.) Less-lethal Weapons - You will wrestle & push more people than you will fight. You will fight more people than you will shoot. That being the case, become an expert in less-lethal weapons! Pepper spray, electronic stun weapons, audible body alarms, and impact weapons. Practice the "draw" and use of these weapons from different locations & wardrobes often. 4.) Kevlar

Vests are an obvious choice. Shop around and ask fellow agents or police officers what they prefer and why.

Portable plates & blankets! Not so common, but very useful when your clothing won't allow a vest. (Accompanying the client to a swim party, BBQ, etc.) Inserting a Kevlar plate or blanket into a briefcase, beach bag, or backpack will allow you to hold the item up... in between the client and the threat during an evacuation.

5.) Lights

The most underestimated weapon that I've seen is a light! A flashlight shining in the eyes of a threat can provide valuable time during a client evacuation. The same goes for a high-powered spotlight in your car! If a bad guy pulls near you in their vehicle... shining a flood light in the drivers face will disorient him / her in a major way. Small flashlights with a blinking feature are excellent as well.

6.) Knives

Self defense Utility; Saw blade.

Version 19 Page 30 of 68

NOTE: One job is to educate the principle on these items and try to convince him / her to gain knowledge of these items. This will be very important if you, the agent... are removed from the picture! TRIBUTE: Tom Carter was killed in the line of duty in early 2004. He was protecting US interests overseas. He was a civilian executive protection agent, a professional trainer, a special forces & delta operator and a family man. He will be missed.

The "Best" Shotgun Question On a couple occasions, we've been asked - "What shotgun is the best for EP work?" First of all - I want to point out that I am not an Expert in the area of shotguns. That being said, I have been using them for years in both the Military & Civilian arenas. My qualifications for shotguns were obtained for my work as a Military Policeman, Corrections Specialist, SRT Member and EP agent. Those qualifications were earned on standard ranges as well as combat courses. Because my personal opinion has always been different from my friends (who are NRA certified instructors) - I've been quiet on the issue. However, since it hasn't changed... I'll pass it along now. My favorite shotgun for EP work is a 20 gauge (you research your own manufacturer) with a modified or improved modified choke...

using Target Load shells. Yes... I said a 20 gauge. All my life, I've had to qualify with the 12 gauge and honestly, most of my friends prefer the 12 gauge. However, those folks are not EP agents. They are:

Hunters or skeet shooters... Men... Good sized individuals... Range Instructors...

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 31 of 68

Version 19 Page 31 of 68

They are not:

People who are physically weak... Shooting injured... Shooting while fatigued or out of breath... Shooting with fear or adrenaline...

So, when I run this question through my wee-little mind - I tend to want a weapon that will serve best when:

1.) I am a small or weak shooter 2.) I am injured or fatigued 3.) I am on unstable footing 4.) At my worst!

In my opinion, the answer is the 20 gauge! And guess what? The experts tell me that my baby shotgun has around TWICE the knock down power of a .45 ca pistol! Not bad 'eh? The bottom line is this. Use the weapon that you are trained on, qualified on, and comfortable with.

Handling Different Assignments a.) Residence Duty This duty is most often associated to that of a security guard. There are more of these positions than all others... and in some companies, a new agent must "pay his/her dues" before working on the inner detail. Always remain professional & diligent while on this type of assignment. Do not engage in any activity that interferes with the constant scanning of your areas of responsibility.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 32 of 68

Version 19 Page 32 of 68

A good approach is to silently ask yourself, "What do I see (pause), hear (pause), and smell?" Also ask yourself, "If I were a bad guy... how would I attack my position, and where am I most vulnerable?" In a nutshell... Ensure communications are good... Expect the unexpected... & observe and report! In this position, you will often times have contact with fans and the media, so always be nice, firm and fair. One bad or off-color comment could embarrass your client and cost you your job. b.) Dinner Party / Restaurant This is a type of assignment that I've done on numerous occasions. A big factor here is whether or not the client is the opposite sex or not. And if so, what is your method of "shadowing" or "following" going to be. With same or opposite sex clients... I use the "lunch interview" cover a lot. This allows us to enjoy a meal together and provides a decent cover story should we run into an acquaintance of the client, etc. If the client doesn't want you at the same table, you'll need the help of the staff to arrange your seating so that your client is in full view. In addition, you'll have to notify the wait staff to add your bill to the clients. A lot of times, we'll ask the staff to add a 25% service charge to the bill as a thank you for their help. Obviously, prior planning and notification to the client of these types of practices should occur. Another thing to plan with the client is how he/she wants you to handle fans or autograph seekers. Do they want to sign, or would they prefer to be left alone? If they want to be left alone... you must be ever-so gentle yet firm with the fan. I was taught to carry a notebook so that when a fan arrives, I can say "Thank you so much

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 33 of 68

Version 19 Page 33 of 68

for your support, unfortunately Mr./Mrs. So & So isn't able to say hello or sign right now... but if you'd leave us your name and address in this notebook, we'd love to send you an autographed picture... book... etc." This has worked for me each and every time! Your patience may be challenged but remember, your clients privacy and reputation are on the line... so perform like a pro! c.) Shopping Mall This can be very relaxed duty... but again, planning is paramount. Is your client of the opposite sex? If so... will you be following from a distance or will you be their significant other? Are you a one-man detail or do you have a team? One thing I always recommend is that my client carries an audible body alarm. This allows me to drop further back and observe. Also, if your client is a member of the opposite sex... you'll want to afford them the utmost privacy when they're shopping for personal items. If you'll be traveling as a couple, ensure that you agree on whether or not to hold hands, hug, etc. The last thing you want is "startled" or "unnatural" reactions between you two. Finally, be sure to have hand & arm signals along with code-words between you and your client and your team if applicable. When trouble shows up... you'll want to evacuate fast but without creating a stir. Silent signals and code words will help you do this. Michael Jackson's EP "Inner" Team The two most challenging positions I've worked in EP are:

1.) Inner Detail & AIC 2.) The Press Box

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 34 of 68

Version 19 Page 34 of 68

For this section, I'd like to focus on the inner detail and Agent in Charge (AIC) challenges. I'd also like for you to reflect back on the media coverage of the Michael Jackson hearings years ago and remember how his security operated. Like him or not, when Michael was alive, he was probably one of the biggest "draws" you could work for. Not only that... but Michael himself was always changing directions on his detail! Whether it was the "Nation" security team brought in by his brother or the current team... I've always been impressed by how smoothly these guards keep up with Michael. Years ago... I saw what appeared to be the "Prox Agent" or "AIC" never let Michael get more than a foot away from him after Michael changed directions at least 5 times while waving to and thanking his fans. And this gentleman had his hands full carrying an umbrella for Michael!!! This might seem easy to a novice reader, but having been in those situations... I can tell you it's way more difficult than it seems. So, watch the news coverage of high-profile hearings whenever you can... but don't get too caught up in the case itself. Watch it from an EP Agents' perspective and ask yourself if you'd handle things the same. Watch the vehicle arrivals (lead car, main car and chase car); the agent deployment during foot movements; and receiving lines if any. Watch unexpected challenges presented by the client also! A good example of this occurred when Michael was leaving the Sheriff's Dept. and jumped on top of a car to dance and thank his fans. During this stunt, a very nice "line of sight" was available for any potential bad guy! So have fun and see what you can learn!

Fitness Consideration & Workouts Bottom line – Get In Shape! or Stay In Shape! This course is for people who want to be in the top 10% of agents available. Sure, we can get away with letting our age catch up with us. But that’s a weak person’s answer!!! Never let your location be an excuse for not working out. “I can’t get to a gym” is another excuse I hear too much. Instead, always ask – “How can I workout in this location?” I recommend you purchase at a minimum - these items:

Combat Conditioning – Matt Fury Any Yoga DVD / Book Kettlebells

First Aid & CPR Essentials

Always stay current on your first aid, cpr, and aed certifications!

1st things first! Cell phone app’s provided by The American Red Cross are amazing! Ensure you have a First Aid App on your cell phone! Because our human minds can go to mush under duress, I want you to attend a CPR & First Aid course every year… regardless of what your card ‘expiration’ date is. Try to attend trainings from different

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 38 of 68

Version 19 Page 38 of 68

groups such as Red Cross, National Safety Council (NSC), American Heart Association, ASHI and more. These groups all teach a little different and no group is better than the other. Here's a simple way to remember what we need to perform when CPR is necessary on an adult victim.

*** 2 Breaths – 30 Compressions *** Breaths are optional in most training agencies… unless you’re dealing with a child or drowning victim. Get trained from an agency in your area but remember… you’ll see slights differences in technique. No big deal! Four-year-old kids can do this while begin told what to do by an Emergency Operator… So remember - 2 Breaths (Depending on situation…) 30 Compressions ... and you'll be on your way to CPR bliss!!! For First Aid – Remember R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) and bleeding control techniques. (Including the pressure points for slowing bleeding.) EMERGENCY FIRST AID MINI-COURSE This First Aid Mini-Course Is Not Intended To Take The Place Of Qualified Help In The Event Of An Emergency. In Any Emergency, Always Seek Medical Advice And Assistance When You Think It Is Needed. It Is Also Recommended That You Take A Certified CPR And First Aid Course. ABCs OF LIFE SUPPORT

Version 19 Page 39 of 68

This emergency first aid procedure consists of recognizing stoppage of breathing and heartbeat — then applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This involves: (A) opening and maintaining person’s Airway; (B) rescue Breathing; (C) providing artificial Circulation by external cardiac compression (heart massage).

A Airway open. Turn person on back and quickly remove any foreign matter from mouth. Place your hand under person’s neck and lift, tilting head back as far as possible with other hand. This opens an airway. B Breathing restored. If person is not breathing, place your mouth tightly over his or hers, pinch nostrils and blow into mouth until you see the chest rise. Remove your mouth. Give two breaths and check for neck pulse (see C below). If pulse is present, continue rescue breathing at a rate of 12 times per minute. C Circulation maintained. Quickly feel for neck pulse: Keeping person’s head tilted with one hand, use middle and index fingers of other hand to feel for carotid pulse in neck artery under side angle of lower jaw. If no pulse, start rescue breathing and external cardiac compressions.

Person’s back should be on firm surface. Place heel of your hand on lower breastbone (about 1 1/2 inches up from the tip), with fingers off chest and other hand on top. Gently rock forward, exerting pressure down, to force blood out of the heart. Release pressure. Alternate (B) breathing with (C) circulation.

For small children and infants: Cover nose and mouth with your mouth, blow gently, 20 times per minute. For compressions, use only heel of one hand for children; only the tips of index and middle fingers for infants. Give 80 to 100 compressions per minute, with one breath after each five compressions.

INJURIES / SITUATIONS ANIMAL BITE

Flush the wound area with water and then wash with soap and water for at least five minutes. Cover with a clean dressing or cloth. Immediately seek care at a hospital or physician.

BLACK EYE

As soon as possible following the injury, dip a cloth in ice water and hold next to the area for at least 10 minutes. A “black eye” is essentially a bruise around the eye that will cause pain and swelling and gradually fade in time. If the bruise does not fade or if there is a change in vision, consult a physician.

CUTS

Minor – Wash wound area with soap and water, not alcohol; cover with a sterile gauze bandage.

Major – If blood appears to be gushing or spurting, follow these instructions and call for help. Take a clean cloth or towel and press hard on the cut for 10 minutes. Do not remove pressure to see if it’s working. If possible, raise the cut above the level of the chest. After 10 minutes, if the bleeding has stopped, cover the cut with a bandage. If the bleeding hasn’t stopped, try pressing harder for five more minutes and seek medical help.

BURNS

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 41 of 68

Version 19 Page 41 of 68

Minor – Immediately cool the burn area by putting it under cool running water or in a sink filled with cool water for at least five minutes or until the pain subsides. Never apply butter, grease or ointment. Don’t open blisters or remove dead skin. Cover with gauze. If blisters break, apply a clean dressing. If the burn is on the face, covers an area bigger than your hand or if it blisters, call the doctor or emergency number. Severe – Have victim lie down and cover him or her. Never remove clothing or clean the burns. Call for emergency help. Chemical – Quickly flush area with water for five minutes, cover with gauze and call for emergency help.

CHOKING

If the person is choking and unable to talk or breathe, get behind the person and wrap your arms around the waist. Make a fist, grasp fist with other hand. Place fist against the stomach just above the navel but well below the lower tip of the breastbone. Pull fist upward into the stomach with a quick upward thrust. Repeat up to four times. If choking continues, seek medical help. If the victim becomes unconscious, lay him or her down, roll to side, pull the tongue and jaw forward and with your index finger, dislodge any visible matter. Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and/or CPR.

CONVULSION/SEIZURE

Gently prevent person from hurting him or herself on nearby objects. Loosen clothing after jerking subsides. Have person lie down. Help keep the airway open. Turn head to the side in case of vomiting to prevent choking on inhaled vomit. If breathing stops, administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or CPR. After seizure, allow patient to rest. Seek medical attention.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 42 of 68

Version 19 Page 42 of 68

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Turn off electricity if possible. If not possible, pull victim from the electrical contact with a dry rope, wooden pole or cloth. Do not touch victim until contact with electric current is broken. Administer CPR. Call for emergency help.

EYE INJURIES

Chemicals – Have person turn head so injured side is down. Flood eye with water for at least 15 minutes. Cover eye with clean cloth and seek professional help. Foreign particle – Do not rub the eye, that may cause deeper injury. Try to locate the object; if it is in the pupil, or seems embedded in the white of the eye, go immediately to the emergency room. If the object is floating in the liquid surface, you can try to remove it. Hold the lower lid open, look up, and using the edge of a clean cloth, brush the matter quickly off the eye’s surface. If you can’t see an object, pull the upper lid down and over the lower lid and let it slide back up. This may dislodge the particle. If pain and tearing persist, seek medical help.

FAINTING

Lay patient on his or her back and raise both legs above the heart. Check airway to be certain it is clear. Loosen tight clothing and apply cold cloths to the face. If fainting lasts more than a minute or two, keep patient covered and seek medical help.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 43 of 68

Version 19 Page 43 of 68

FALLS

Stop any bleeding and cover wounds with clean dressings. Keep victim comfortably warm to prevent shock. If you suspect broken bones, do not move person unless absolutely necessary (such as in case of fire). Call for emergency help.

FISHHOOKS

Fishhook injuries carry a high risk of infection, so if you can reach a physician, do so. If you are far from medical help, push the hook farther through the tissue until it goes through the skin. Don’t pull it out; the barb will cause further injury. Using wire cutters, cut off the barb, and then pull the hook back through the skin. Clean and bandage the wound and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

FRACTURES/BREAKS

Stop any bleeding and cover wound with clean dressing. If it is a simple fracture, set it in a splint (wood, corrugated cardboard, rolled-up blanket, pillow, etc.) supported with cloth or rope ties. Do not move patient if back or neck injury is suspected. Keep person warm and treat for shock (see next column). Call for emergency help.

FROSTBITE

Signs and symptoms: The skin of hands, feet, face or other areas first becomes red, then turns gray or white. Never rub frostbitten area with snow; that will only continue the chilling of the tissue and cause further damage. A gradual warming, by

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 44 of 68

Version 19 Page 44 of 68

immersing the area in water that is slightly warmer than body, is safe for slight frostbite. Elevate the affected area, cover with dry and warm garments and consider pain relievers if there is slight pain. Keep frostbitten toes or fingers separate with clean, dry cloths. Hospitalization is necessary for children whose body temperatures drop below 93°F and for adults who have severe frostbite. Don’t sit in front of an oven or fire to warm the frostbitten area; unequal exposure to the heat could burn the tissue. Don’t massage the damaged area or rub with snow. Do not break blisters or give alcoholic drinks. Contact your physician or emergency room immediately.

HEAD INJURY / CONCUSSION

Usual symptoms of simple concussion include headache, slight dizziness, queasy stomach or vomiting. These usually require an ice pack to the head and rest. Observe for any severe symptoms such as unusual drowsiness, unequal pupils, persistent vomiting, confusion and lack of coordination. If one or more of these conditions are present, immediately seek medical care.

INSECT BITES AND STINGS

Bee or wasp sting – Try to remove stinger by gently scraping with a clean knife blade. Cleanse with soap and water and apply an ice compress to reduce swelling. If person has an allergic reaction (will happen within 30 minutes), hives, itching all over, wheezing, vomiting or a history of allergic reaction, follow directions on bee sting kit, if available. Call for emergency help.

Tick bite – Cover the insect’s body with a heavy oil or lighter fluid and allow to remain for about 20 minutes. Carefully remove with tweezers, being sure to remove all parts of the insect. Scrub area with soap and water.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 45 of 68

Version 19 Page 45 of 68

Itchy bites – Use hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion or rubbing alcohol.

NOSEBLEED

Have person sit down and lean forward. Pinch nose and have person breathe through the mouth. Or pack bleeding nostril(s) with gauze and pinch. If bleeding persists, call a doctor.

POISONING

Don’t force to vomit immediately. Call poison control. Tell them what substance and how much was swallowed. Take the bottle or package to the phone when you call. Directions on the container may not be up to date. Always follow the instructions given by the poison control center. Do not give the patient fluids or cause to vomit if unconscious or in convulsions. Call for emergency help.

SHOCK

Have person lie down, loosen clothing and cover to prevent loss of body heat. Be cautious not to overheat. Check pulse rate and seek professional help.

SPLINTERS

Tweezers remove most splinters easily, but a physician should remove deeply embedded splinters. If the length of the splinter is visible under the skin, use a sterilized needle to slit the skin over the splinter and pull out the splinter with the tweezers. Clean the wound.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 46 of 68

Version 19 Page 46 of 68

SPRAINS & STRAINS

Elevate the injured joint to a comfortable position. Apply an ice bag or a cold compress over the sprain to reduce pain and swelling. Ability to move does not rule out fracture. Person should not bear weight on a sprain. Sprains that continue to swell should be examined by a physician.

UNCONSCIOUSNESS

When person cannot be aroused, lay in a flat position and make sure the victim’s airway is clear. Check pulse rate. If no pulse is felt, begin administering CPR. Keep the person comfortable and warm. Never give an unconscious person food or liquid. If vomiting occurs, turn head to the side to prevent choking on inhaled vomit. Call for medical help.

STOP CHECK #2

1.) True or false – It’s more probable that an agent will wrestle/fight more people than they shoot. This is why it’s mandatory to be proficient at hand-to-hand skills.

2.) The bottom line is this: Only use weapons that you’re __________________, qualified on, and comfortable on.

a. Strong enough for b. Trained on c. Mentally prepared for d. None of the above

3.) One bad or off color comment could __________ your client and cost you your job.

Proactive Executive Protection By Michael Stroberger Reprint "Protection Officer News" To the uninitiated, or those with only limited contact, Executive Protection is an almost mystical topic, filled with images pulled from popular movies, works of fiction and news accounts. In truth, the inner working of Executive Protection are not complicated, they are simply an extensive series of details which must be double-checked to ensure that possible hazards have been addressed. From the point of view of the property-level security professional, the advance work of a protective detail can seem intrusive, their requests confusing or difficult to carry out without considerable difficulty or even simply useless. Despite this, if the detail is staffed with dedicated professionals, each request has a specific purpose, and is designed to support the overall effort of protecting their principal (protectee). The most basic goal of any protective detail is to avoid / reduce hazards. These hazards could result from intentional human actions, natural disasters, accidents or even medical conditions. For each type of hazard, or specific hazard, there will be some obvious, and some less obvious, strategies for mitigating the hazard.

(c) 2003 – Present International Security Training LLC Executive Protection Specialist Page 49 of 68

Version 19 Page 49 of 68

In some cases, the mitigation strategy is in place well in advance, and is a continuous effort. This applies to situations such as the carrying of medication used to treat specific medical conditions which the principal is known to suffer from regularly, or which could be life threatening if they do occur. In most cases, these are not a specific concern for the protective unit of a property, but are handled by the unit which travels with the principal. From the property point of view, there are many steps which can be taken to anticipate the needs of an outside protective detail. The taking of these steps will not only smooth out the process of interacting with an outside detail, they will prove the level of professionalism which the property security force operates under. If handled with care, and a systematic approach, this is an ideal opportunity to prove the value and skill of a protective unit, both to the outside protective detail, but also to their own management structure. You know your property better than they do. Be prepared to walk the property with the leader, or advance person, of the protective detail. They will be interested in such information as: where are the access points, and when and how are they secured; which rooms will they be utilizing and where are they located; what fire systems do you operate; what hours of coverage and staffing levels does your protective unit maintain; who will be on property, other than your unit; what types of surveillance equipment do you operate, and what areas does the system cover. This is a very short list, and obviously not inclusive of all topics which will be of interest. The basic concept is: where will we be, how do we get there and back and how will we be accessible to others during this time frame. Look at it from this point of view, and most of the questions can be anticipated prior to their arrival.

You know the geographic area better than they do. In most cases, dignitary/VIP protective details travel with the principal. As a result, they often work in areas, cities and countries other than their base of operations. This gives you the advantage of having a much better understanding of the geographic area. They will, in most cases, call upon this knowledge for reference materials. They will usually need to know: Areas of road construction; nearest hospital; nearest police station; nearest fire department; security units operating in nearby buildings. Again, this is the briefest of lists, and by no means inclusive of even a small portion of the information a good, professional detail will require. Be prepared to answer these questions, or at least have a contact who can. You know the difficulties of the area better than they do. Although it is available through proper channels and sources, the area crime rate, types of crime and areas of higher crime activity will probably not be known to the protective detail. Be prepared to give them a brief explanation of the current trends, as you know them. At my property, we developed an "Executive Protection Guide," which we allow outside units to read through, as part of their advance work. No person is permitted to make copies of the content of the guide, but a duplicate of the cover sheet, with contact names and direct telephone numbers is provided. This guide offers detailed descriptions of our building, the areas around us, the local law enforcement and fire departments, my staff and operation and the security systems currently in place. This guide was compiled over a period of several months, based on a database of questions which we obtained through interaction with outside protective details as they arrived at our property. As a result of the process we used to compile this listing, our guide includes information which not every unit requests; such as the building materials used in the floors and walls, and relative thickness of those materials. While these are not common questions for such details to ask, when encountered in the reading of our guide, most have been very appreciative of the information. Some, in fact, have added questions to their pre-formatted advance

Version 19 Page 51 of 68

information list, based on what we have chosen to provide for them, prior to their arrival. In addition to the proactive steps described above, it is also important to note that you can become very involved in the actual operation of the detail, while it is on your property. Often, I and selected members of my staff become almost an auxiliary part of larger protective details, performing such duties as perimeter security in the area of events and movement of the principal; securing and inspection of rooms; screening of employees who will have access to specific areas; crowd control and liaison with management. One of the key aspects which the host protective unit can provide is additional legal rights, as agents of management/ownership. While the executive protection detail has a certain set of legal rights, stemming from the basic right to defend one's self, the protective unit from the property has a vast set of additional rights, including such things as the ability to restrict access to third party persons. Again, being prepared for, and involved in, such aspects reflects a strong level of professionalism and skill. With the election year in motion already, in addition to the regular travels of executives and celebrities, some types of businesses are obviously more prone to visits than others. This does not, however, rule out the possibility of such a visit, and proper planning should be an issue for all protective details. Be prepared for such possibilities, and you will present a professional image. Fail to prepare, and this, too, will be noted.
