Weeks prior to one of the nation’s most popular sporting events, I receive a call requesting my services to work a protection detail for a new client. After an initial telephone interview, I agree to meet with him in person to discuss the particulars of the assignment and to review the contract. I can tell this man is serious about finding the right person for the job; I live several hours away, and he offers to pay for my time, gas and to put me up in a hotel if I so desire. I drive to his home and we engage in a four-hour long interview.

It is lengthy because he is a very industrious businessman whose telephone never stops ringing, and he takes all the calls. He offers me the contract, which includes traveling by car 300 miles to the sporting event. Just before I leave he says “I’ve never done anything like this before; trusting someone like this. We will have a large sum of money with us for the duration of the trip, and I want to feel safe at all times. Your number one priority will be to protect my assets. Protect my assets at all times!” I reassure him that he, and his assets, are in good hands, and leave. A few days later, I pick up my client at his home to drive to the event. We pack up the car’s trunk with our luggage, and he places a briefcase on the backseat. Just before we’re to arrive at our destination, he gives me directions to stop at a local bank where he has wired cash to himself. (more…)

Operating in Beirut: Part 3

By: Georges Tabet

In late February, after three months into the contract, I made the decision to move the current team members around.  I had learned early in my career from a former Diplomatic Security Agent that it was always a good idea to switch out teams if it was an extended operation.

The reason for the change was two-fold; first, I was able to ensure that members of the current team were able to get some down time and R&R, and second, if bad guys were trying to identify team members and their movements thru surveillance activities, the movement of personnel would most likely confuse and cause issues for an adversary who may be planning an attack.

In addition to the team changes, I met with my ATL and talked about a few ideas that I wanted to implement into our ongoing operations.  I fully believe that in order to be successful when running operations in a medium to high threat area you must be fluid and must always change the way that you operate.
