Executive Protection: A Checklist for Agents

Before each executive protection assignment, agents must review a checklist to ensure adequate protection coverage for their principals. The following checklist will help you gain a thorough understanding of the upcoming task and help you identify its security requirements.

The security atmosphere in your area of ​​operation has been assessed and you know the biggest real or perceived threats. The health risk has been assessed to ensure there are no major diseases or pandemics. The nearest hospital operating at par with international medical standards was inspected and the distance in miles from the executive hotel was noted.

The executive hotel’s physical security capabilities have been inspected and deemed secure. The airport of entry has been checked. The airport and runway have been deemed capable of handling the director’s corporate jet. Airport security has been contacted and will be responsible for the protection of the aircraft. The airport’s accident, fire and rescue personnel and equipment have been judged to international standards.

All locations have been reviewed for safety and deemed adequate. Caravan routes and times have been verified to ensure the Director travels safely and expeditiously. You must ensure that there are enough staff for the assignment. The director’s limousine has been swept and inspected. Your report and anticipated work activities include potential vulnerable areas.

He has accompanied any problem encountered with possible solutions to corporate headquarters or his boss above. Your equipment has been reviewed and you have included extra batteries for your laptop, cell phone or Blackberry. It has carried out a final intelligence and threat report. A communication and radio protocol has been established with the rest of the agents in detail.

Procedures have been established for handling suspicious packages and bomb threats. You have made sure that the other officers have clearly understood the rules of engagement. Evacuation procedures have been established at the venues and at the executive hotel. Have adequate number of safety cars and drivers in the caravan to protect the limousine.

This is not an exhaustive checklist, I would explain it in more detail, but that would take up more space than I intended in this short article. However, I am sure you have the main idea of ​​using the checklist to implement an efficient and effective executive protection plan. Stay safe and God speed.
