3 Day Executive Protection Training Course

Being Offered in Minneapolis, Minnesota

October 11-13 2018

 Limited Space Available

This three-day intermediate course is focused on techniques, tips, and methods for the solo executive protection agent (SOLO EPA).  Anyone who has attended a reputable executive protection school will tell you that while most formal training teaches team tactics, the reality is that for many executive protection professionals, the job is often a one-person-show.

The instructors for this course are highly trained in the field of executive protection, have trained at some of the top schools in the industry and have over 60 years of experience in the field.  And while they have worked in teams over the years, the vast majority of their professional careers have been as solo executive protection agents.  This is the course they wished they had taken when they were first starting out in the field – Sixty years worth of insider tips, tricks, and shortcuts for the SOLO EPA.

Why Should I Take this Course?

This is an intermediate course designed with the solo executive protection agent in mind.  While having a foundation in basic executive protection is a plus, it is not necessarily a requirement to get the most out of this course.  If you are working in the field of executive protection as a solo agent (or are planning to), you will benefit from this course whether you are a newbie with no previous training, a recent graduate of an executive protection school or a seasoned veteran.

What Will I learn?

Students in this course will learn how to efficiently manage the executive protection process for a celebrity or high net worth client when working alone.  This is a method course (not a theory course) so although there will be some time spent in the classroom, the vast majority of the course will be held outside the traditional classroom.

The course will specifically focus on providing solo protection for a client in the following venues:

  • Commercial and Private Airports
  • Hotels and Restaurants
  • Auditoriums, Theaters, Stadiums, and other Performance Places
  • Health Clubs and Spas
  • Golf Courses and Country Clubs
  • Casinos, Race Tracks, and Sporting Events

The student will learn first hand how to effectively and efficiently advance, secure and navigate with their client through the aforementioned venues without the assistance of other executive protection professionals.  The student will interact with local law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, international airport, and TSA personnel hotel management, venue security and many other professionals throughout the three-day course.  Students will also receive many helpful checklists, web links, mobile phone apps and a list of telephone numbers and contacts that make the job of the solo executive protection agent safer and easier and more efficient.

This is a real-world method course and many find it to be physically and mentally demanding.  The student should expect to spend long periods of time on their feet and in motion in various settings in and around the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area over the course of the three days.  The student will also participate in several, practical exercises and be graded on their performance.

A certificate of completion will be awarded at the end of the course.  The course is also eligible for 18 ASIS credit.

Tuition:  $995.00 with financing available

Dates:  October 11-13th 2018

The course format requires the total number of students be limited to 15 students.  Reserve your space now.

Principal Protection Lessons Learned

The Evolution of Protective Operations by R.E. “Rick” Colliver

Protection, like any other process, is evolutionary. And we should agree that a large part of any evolutionary process is failure, which is another way of saying “learning through our mistakes.” As the title suggests, this book is about the lessons learned through several thousand years of trial-and-error, creating and adopting best-practices, striving to provide protection for persons of public interest and others at risk.

Originally developed as a companion text supporting professional courses in protective operations, Principal Protection Lessons Learned can be a valuable reference for all specialists and managers employed in the protection field, to help them enhance and add value to their own vulnerability assessments, protective operations, and human security management.

Far from being another “how-to” book on protection, it is more of a “why-to”. Principal Protection Lessons Learned goes far beyond the reactionary skills highlighted in other texts, and provides the reader/practitioner with a wealth of applicable information and knowledge that has been acquired through the experience of protection professionals for several millennia.

Finally, a book for both public and private sector protection professionals who are required to manage protective operations with a minimum of headcount and budget, in an increasingly complex and demanding environment.

Contents

• Chapter One: Principal Protection

• Chapter Two: Comprehensive Security

• Chapter Three: Understanding Threat and Risk; an Introduction

• Chapter Four: Assessing Threat and Risk in the Field (with Dr. Ken Wolf, Dr. Emily Wolf and Marilyn Knight, MSW)

• Chapter Five: Ethics, Etiquette and the Scope of Your Employment

• Chapter Six: Conducting the Advance

• Chapter Seven: Hazardous Device Search Techniques

• Chapter Eight: Protective Detail Planning and management(with Tim Halbakken)

• Chapter Nine: Managing Protection

• Chapter Ten: Lessons Learned Through History

• Appendix A: A Glossary of Terms

• Appendix B: White House Security Review

• Appendix C: Security Checklists

• Appendix D: Bibliography

• Appendix E: State v. Hessler (2000), 90 Ohio St.3d 108

• Appendix F: National Special Security Events Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress

Appendix A is an extensive Glossary of Terms, acronyms and abbreviations that protection specialists will likely encounter during the course of their employment. Appendix B; “White House Security Review”, explains a practical methodology for security assessment but also illustrates the type of precursor event that can predicate such an in-depth analysis and the scope of work required in such an undertaking. Remember that the higher the profile of the Protectee, the more attention will be focused on your work.

Appendix C is a collection of commonly found checklists that the reader can modify for their own use as appropriate. Regardless of how many years we spend in this business or how many routes and venues we advance, it is always helpful for us to have some sort of guide to ensure that we have not overlooked something.

Appendix D is a bibliography of material relating to the field of dignitary and executive protection. Regardless of the age of the material, many of the tried and true observations remain valid to this day and have helped us to shape our protection programs.

Appendix E is a copy of State v. Hessler (90 Ohio St.3d 108, 2000-Ohio-30) which provides a comprehensive review of a case of targeted violence including background on the perpetrator and his relationship with his victims. For protection personnel involved in threat assessments this will afford a rare glimpse into the violence process and resultant effects.

Appendix F is a congressional executive summary explaining the formation of the National Special Security Events (NSSE) designation. Protection personnel working key special events that are specified as NSSE should be familiar with this act.
