Executive Protection is much different in reality than what you have seen in the media or in the movies. This type of work is an art form that requires specialized training and incredible awareness. We designed “S.T.O.P” with several goals in mind.
• Held at the prestigious Target Center in Downtown Minneapolis. You will have full access to one of the premier venues in professional sports, giving you real world experience.
• The course is certified and affordable to those men and women who have an interest in Executive Protection.
• The course will provide the basic principles of Executive Protection; all grounded in a legal framework. Yet, the course goes well-beyond basic techniques to provide a unique learning experience for veteran protection agents as well. S.T.O.P puts the student into the position of the protection/security administrator for a major event. As such, the student will learn all aspects of the protection function.
• The course will provide a high degree of real-life application and experience in the field for the student, along with related testing and accountability; raising the credibility and value of certification upon successful completion.
S.T.O.P is a highly-interactive course, written by professionals who have real-life experience in working, planning and coordinating protection details throughout the world.
