Executive and VIP Protection

American Eagle Investigations provides Executive protection and VIP security for a variety of clients. Executive Protection, Personal Protection or Close Protection involves the protecting of a person in a covert manner with highly skilled and trained professionals. These trained professionals stay in close proximity to the person they are protecting in order to allow them to take action if the need arises. At the same time these Executive Protection Specialists must allow the individual they are protecting to move freely and maintain a normal life. Threats facing an executive or vip today can vary widely depending on the individuals profile. Each executive vip protection profile varies by the size of the company and the industry the person is in. Knowing the range of risks involved the Executive Protection Specialist knows that protecting an individual is very different discipline from securing a facility.

Executive Protection involves a great deal of planning in order to allow the individual being protected to seem as if they are not being protected at all. An executive cannot be locked down like an entrance to a building, there are numerous ways for an attacker to get to an executive or vip, including through family members.

At American Eagle Investigations we take the time to conduct a thorough risk analysis. Is there a history of threats against the individual, why does this person need protection? Do they travel often to dangerous places? Does their family also need protection? Is this person a high profile person or does this person keep a low profile? Once you determine the needs of the individual you need to know everything about their public and private life. This is called a “principle profile” and it requires the individual’s full cooperation.

The term executive protection professional should tell you all you need to know about the individual you are hiring. At American Eagle Investigations you are hiring a highly trained individual that has experience in defensive driving, medical training, the ability to defend an attack on a principle, a conspicuous pride in staying fit, and has good judgment to assess threats and employ the appropriate countermeasures. American Eagle Investigations has the ability to provide individuals who have the ability to be a mirror image of his principal in professional dress and demeanor.
