FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

For standard corporate visits to Frankfurt, a vetted security driver is the appropriate baseline. A dedicated CPO is warranted for principals with financial-sector roles representing documented intelligence targets, for executives attending European Central Bank or major banking events, for HNWI clients with elevated personal risk indicators, and for principals attending high-profile Messe Frankfurt trade fairs. The required protection level is determined by a pre-visit threat assessment.

CPOs in Germany are licensed under Gewerbeordnung Section 34a. Frankfurt operators are supervised by HLKA (Hessisches Landeskriminalamt). Our Frankfurt partners hold all current credentials including IHK-recognised qualifications. Licence documentation is provided to the client before deployment begins.

Armed close protection is available in Germany through operators holding the appropriate authorisation under Gewerbeordnung Section 34a and applicable German firearms law. The majority of Frankfurt financial-sector and corporate assignments are conducted unarmed, reflecting the low ambient risk. Armed capability is deployed where the pre-deployment threat assessment identifies a specific requirement.

The CPO positions inside Frankfurt Airport Fraport (FRA) arrivals before the principal clears baggage claim. A pre-departure vehicle check is conducted. The FRA-to-city transfer takes 15 to 30 minutes (approximately 12km). For principals with elevated threat profiles, counter-surveillance protocol is applied from the arrivals hall through the transfer to the principal’s hotel.
