Synopsis
Close Protection: Luxury & Hostile Environments This book is relevant to those in the close protection business as well as private investigators, journalists and those working in hostile environments. The contents of this book are drawn from my experiences in the close protection, security and investigations industry over the last 35 years. What I am providing here is the real-world perspective, not the classroom or the perfect world perspective. I have always questioned what I have been taught, which has got me into plenty of arguments over the years. But without questioning things, how can they be improved and refined. I have been very lucky because I have been able to work on many diverse taskings, in many diverse places, and have been able to see what strategies and tactics actually work in the close protection business, and what does not! I tell my student's and people to question everything, especially in today's world where fake news and social media outlets are all pushing their agendas and selling products. In the real-world, away from the tacticool entertainment world, you need to know what works and what does not, as your life and the lives of others can depend on it. Many people's view of a close protection operative is a big martial arts expert. This stereotype is a widely held misconception. The real professional in the close protection industry is someone who identifies and prevents any situations that could be potentially dangerous to them, their loved ones, or their clients from happening. Close Protection: Luxury & Hostile Environments Covers The Close Protection & Bodyguard Business Drivers & Bodyguards & Why I don't trust them!! Life Skills... Escorts & Formations Protective Surveillance Advance Security Staying in a Hotel Attending Meetings Close Protection & Personal Security in Hostile Crowds Counter-Surveillance Considerations Electronic Surveillance Intelligence Gathering Threat Assessments Considerations for Self-Defense First Aid Considerations Traveling with Firearms & International Self-Defense Tactical Gear List Countering Snipers Reconnaissance Operations Counterattack Operations Bombs & Improvised Explosive Device Incidents And much more! The information in this manual has been compiled from my thirty-five plus years of operational experience, and also from that of my close associates. Our experience has been gained while working within various military, intelligence, police units and in the international commercial security and investigations industry. Our major asset is our diverse and constant operational experience, that helps us to understand firsthand, the problems that can be encountered in the international close protection business, and how to deal with them with realistic solutions. We live and work in the real world 24/7! The Author, Orlando "Andy" Wilson, has over 35 years' experience within the international security and investigations industry. He is accustomed to dealing with five-star ventures and third world issues, quite often in the same day! Working with Risks Incorporated he provides a full range of security, investigation, close protection and hostile environment training and services. He is a published author and photographer who has been interviewed and written articles for numerous media outlets ranging from the New York Times to Soldier of Fortune Magazine on topics ranging from kidnapping, organized crime, surveillance to maritime piracy., The contents of this book are drawn from my experiences in the close protection, security and investigations industry over the last 29 years while working in UK, Western & Eastern Europe, South & West Africa, Middle East, US, Latin America and the Caribbean. What I am providing here is the real-world perspective, not the classroom or perfect world perspective on skill sets that are usually neglected by the mainstream security industry but are issues that can put you in jail, hospital or the morgue if not addressed properly. This book is relevant to those in the close protection business as well as private investigators, journalists or those working in hostile environments.
