I always love to close protection job I work many places did many different security job now I'm working prison service and been to army I got 3 different languages but I never tried to get close protection job I I got really got fitness to so I will definitely trying hopefully will get there one day
I have always been interested in this line of work. I do not have a military background or have my peace officer's license. I have worked for the government as a armed private security officer for the last 11 years. Would you say that is a decent gig to have on my resume? Thanks.
@@omari7877 This is what some people were born to do and love it, others want to make money while carrying a gun, others do it because they like being in their feet for 12 hours. It's 99% boredom and 1% terror.
No cert is enough. You must be trained before you can protect an individual. Find a good school or a good instructor. Nobody is going to hire someone with zero protection experience for protection. Start working with a team or find an employer willing to let you tag around on high profiles or train you themselves.
In Florida you must get a valid D, G license. Florida residents can get a W-ccw(concealed). Note: you can not 🚫 use a W license to work as a EP agent, security, bodyguard. You must meet certain criteria, FS493. Mylicensesite.com . I'd add that Handgunlaw.us is helpful too.
@@DavidLLambertmobile thanks man! Yes i also have my ccw concealed permit with my armed security license i work private security now and want to get into close protection work ive heard also the main thing is to invest in yourself emt certs mma training pistol course all that will def help and i plan on doing that as well. Thanks for the advice!
Does height matter I’m 5’6 clean cut and I could definitely dress the part. I’m in good shape and I’ve been build power plants, chemical plants and nuclear plants for the last 3 years so I have to always be aware because anything can happen so I’m very aware of my surroundings. I will be 22 this year and have no prior military experience but I do own a lot of guns and know my gun Saftey and go to the ranger quite a bit.
I'd say look at Robert Oakman, Bill Scott Raceway, S2 Institute, Gavin DeBecker & Assoc. If you are not a veteran or have a LE 👮♂️ background, consider looking into a 2-6 year enlistment. Employers look at military veterans 🎗 & know they can work outdoors, deal with stress, be a team player.
You are most likely too young since to purchase a firearm you need to be 21 y/o. I would not say no, but you will be very green and most likely employers will not want somebody so young. Get proper training and credentials and also network with folks in the industry. Your reputation is everything in EP work, once it is ruined so is your career in this work.
Steve the answer to your question is no it does not matter if you are skinny, what is important in the industry is your training and the skills that you possess and your professionalism in the way that you carry yourself. so if I were you I would get trained and when you are 21 you could begin to apply for jobs
Having a college degree would that be a requirement to be a executive protection bodyguard? I wanted to just join the military and keep gaining experience from Special forces until I get discharged then When I get back I wanted to apply for executive protection but I want to know is having college degree mandatory or is it optional Depending on the client?
It is optional, and the client may have a say in the matter, but most often the person hiring you is the employer, not the client, directly. Clients typically go with a company and the company chooses EP agents based on soft-skills, training, and who the client would be comfortable with. Hard skills, like military training, is important, but the knowing how to be friendly, talk to the client in an appropriate way, and not embarrass them are skills that are more important than what gun you carry or how much weapons training you have.
the scenario with the old woman having a heart attack the answer to that is a no brainer as an EPA your first and foremost responsibility is to your client, if such a scenario took place while you are out with your client this incident should heighten your alertness because it could very well be a ploy to distract you from your client. stay focused
Are you still in the Industry? This video aged quite well. Everything you mentioned in resume composition is advised in contemporary EP courses.
Not anymore but I have plenty of contacts.
@@MrSchwa-jz6tbCool. Do you have a LinkedIn?
Excellent video, thanks.
Im contiplaiting getting into EP.
Ive worked sensitive security details in the past and EP is something that interests me.
You're welcome sir. Good luck to you.
Cool, Conan the Barbarian poster!

Do you have a TS or classified background? If you want more EP work, I'd look at gun classes, driver school: Bill Scott Raceway.
What exactly is the difference between executive protection and a bodyguard
EP is more professional sounding than bodyguard but they pretty much are synonymous.
@@MrSchwa-jz6tb I’m currently in the navy and I was thinking about becoming a executive protector.how rewarding is it?

What kind of license would i need? I have my ppsb armed security cert. Is that enough to work as a bodyguard armed?
No cert is enough. You must be trained before you can protect an individual. Find a good school or a good instructor. Nobody is going to hire someone with zero protection experience for protection.

At what age did you get into the executive protection industry
Can you send me a list of the EP Companies in the Atlanta metro area?
Phalanx Training Academy. They have the first all female team called the Onna Bugeisha. I'm training with them in January.
Thank you 💪💪💪💪
Am I able to become an executive protector w only a GED?
Thanks for the information
Really needed this thanks
Any companies you trust in Indiana?

Way too short most guys are over 6 foot. Under 5 10" is undoable.
It depends on the clients preference. A lot of clients like their guys under 6' due to blending in.
@@ivufit5846 never met one
Which school do you prefer to get the certificate?
I'd say look at Robert Oakman, Bill Scott Raceway, S2 Institute, Gavin DeBecker & Assoc. If you are not a veteran or have a LE 👮♂️ background, consider looking into a 2-6 year enlistment. Employers look at military veterans 🎗 & know they can work outdoors, deal with stress, be a team player.
Can I still get an executive protection job being skinny? I’m 19 years old very lean pretty skinny.

You are too young. Become a cop for 5 years. Build a strong physique.
wear a suit to an interview to be a burger flipper..self respect.

How much do you make per month?
Depends on how much your willing to work
You never gave the answer to the old woman heart attack scenario?

so dont take care of the old lady? instead move on and pretend like it didn't happen?
