Six disciplines, one standard.

Arms-reach coverage, structured around the principal rather than around a package.

A primary holds arms-reach coverage and controls interactions. A secondary works the flank and the crowd, and runs surveillance detection. Static posts hold corridors and elevators so that unauthorized approach is stopped well before it reaches the principal. Coverage is tiered — a primary principal may hold a full detail while a guest traveling with them has movement coverage only, on the same night, under the same order.

The part of the evening where a principal is most exposed, and least aware of it.

Vehicles staged before you leave the building. Routes driven in advance with alternates held in reserve, so a change of plan is a decision rather than an improvisation. Vehicles inspected for tampering before the principal is brought to them. Motorcade operations where the movement warrants it. Your driver is a protection officer first and a driver second.

Tarmac to door, and back, without a gap in coverage.

Arrival and departure coordinated directly with the fixed-base operator. Flight manifests tracked and updated in real time, because private aviation schedules move and the ground plan has to move with them. Ground teams in position before wheels down. Luggage, transfers and onward movement handled as one continuous piece of work rather than three handoffs.

Most of this work happens before the doors open.

Advance site survey and security assessment. Access control and credential verification. Sweeps of loading dock areas and bag screening at entry points. Direct liaison with venue security operations and local law enforcement, established in advance rather than at the moment something is needed. On large engagements this includes daily security meetings for the duration.

Coverage sized to the property and the exposure, not to a headcount.

Perimeter assessment and access control. Residential security checks. Property and room inspection ahead of occupancy, including hotel rooms and floors on travel. On-site coverage where it is warranted, and family protective coverage where the exposure extends beyond the principal.

For property that draws the same attention a person does.

Static coverage for high-value property — auction lots on private view, display and show vehicles, exhibition pieces, hospitality assets. Rotating shifts with hourly perimeter rounds, and documented inspection at the start and end of every watch, so the chain of custody is written down rather than remembered.
