We live in a world of threat: Threats to companies, corporations, personalities, individuals and their families or a country, religion or race. With the world on show in the media more than ever, people who are in the spotlight can hardly make a move without attracting attention and some of that attention does not have the best of intention.
That is why the demand for executive protection agents and the specialized security services they can provide has continued to grow over the last few decades.
When many people hear the term executive protection officer, they immediately associate that with being a fancy term for the word "bodyguard." Although guarding a person against imminent and sudden threats is a part of what an executive protection officer does, there is much more involved with this service than just that.
