Ok, let’s review some basics. Bad guys will often times try to bait, manipulate or trick an agent into a fight. An Executive Protection team has to have a plan in place for situations such as these. In addition, it’s the responsibility of each team member to follow that plan and keep themselves in check. Leave the ego at the door!
I don’t care if you’ve been a cop for 20 years… in the Military for 20 years… or are big & strong and think you can defeat the world!
Rule #1 - don't engage in attempted confrontations. Once this begins, your job is to quickly escort the client away from the danger while another agent confronts the attacker. This should be a part of your S.O.P.
Where do you bring the client? To a predetermined location of safety. It could be a room, strategic location or vehicle.
If an agent decides to argue and confront an idiot, a$%hole, etc. – how can he protect his client or cover you?
Be smart everyone!
