Training prepares us for the "known", but education prepares us for the "unknown".
When chosen a close protection speacialist
he/she must have training, eduction and experince.
My former employer and a friend of mine David Katz CEO of Global Security Group stated in an interview
with CSO, in the second paragraph;
“The term "executive protection professional" should tell you all you need to
know about the evolution of executive security details. No-neck goons in black turtlenecks and lumpy suit jackets are fine
if you want to hit a dance club with a posse, but they are not effective for executives. An effective EP program has to be
based on research and preparation rather than sheer muscle. (Duffy, D. (2005, April 01). The
Six Things You Need to Know About Executive Protection. Retrieved from www.csoonline.com: http://www.csoonline.com/article/220214/The_Six_Things_You_Need_to_Know_About_Executive_Protection?page=3)
One of the world’s leading Executive Protection agents Leonard Holifield also stated an interview with Hucky of Bodyguard
Careers dot com the difference of a well trained, educated, EP agent
¨ For example, in the world of Hip Hop you will often see an entourage accompanying the artist, some of these individuals
are acting as bodyguards for that person. In reality they are close friends of the artist, maybe grew up in the same neighborhood,
and have great street fighting skills but no formal EP training.
They are not to be confused with a trained executive protection agent, who is trained specifically to protect an individual
from harm, often without resorting to physical violence at all.” (Hucky. (2008, September
23rd). Interview with Leonard Holifield. Retrieved from Body Guard Careers: http://www.bodyguardcareers.com/2008/09/23/interview-with-leonard-holifield/)
The education
of a protection agent never stops; I´ve been train by elite military and law enforcement instructors in the world on subjects
of close quarters combat, Executive/Witness/Dignitary Protection, and anti-terrorism. I been trained in these fields by the the
Russians, Israelis, Americans, and the Canadians. An EP agent should have Intelligence, Integrity, Interpersonal Skills, and
Imagination.
