Going on your first overseas bodyguard assignment, everyone asks themselves “How well will I do?”  The following will assist advance team and protective team members to gain an edge when going on a foreign assignment for the first time.

The serious bodyguard studies his or her area of operation (AO)  like other people read fiction novels or Hollywood gossip magazines.

Let’s face it, in our industry the celebrity bodyguard doesn’t always get a lot of respect. Corporate Protective Agents lump them just above club bouncers on the evolutionary ladder, while our peers that handle personal security details in war zones, such as Iraq or Afghanistan look at us as glorified babysitters. Of course both of these stereotypes are just that, a collection of generalizations that may apply to some, but definitely not to all.

However, the Ten Thousand dollar question is, if you’re in the celebrity protection industry, does it describe you?

For the last few years, Black Ice has provided volunteer support for the GI Film Festival here in Washington DC.  The festival is next week and we generally support three evening Red Carpet events with about 10 people each night.

There are usually several celebrities in attendance, producers, directors, and so forth.  Our role is to provide an unarmed presence and we are there to assist attendees in moving around the facility, to provide assistance at the entrances and to be there in an emergency.

Historically, we have had a mixture of new Executive Protection agents that are looking for some experience as well as some well trained and experienced personnel that wish to give of their time and talent to this event that is supporting the troops, and celebrating the military.

Both experienced and non-experienced EP trained personnel are welcome – the pay is the same for all… nada.  However, Black Ice will provide a letter of appreciation, a resume bullet you can use for future work, and the opportunity to work with and get to know others in the local EP industry.
