Frequently Asked Questions

Deployments range from a single CPO for convention-period movements between the LVCC and Strip hotels, to a multi-officer detail for high-profile principals requiring advance work, counter-surveillance and residential security. Convention-specific configurations cover delegate protection during CES, NAB Show, AWS re:Invent and SEMA, including LVCC venue liaison, hotel corridor security and off-site event coverage. All operators hold a valid Nevada Guard Card issued by the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board (PILB).

Nevada private security is regulated by the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board (PILB). Security companies require a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) licence; individual officers must hold a valid PILB Guard Card. Armed officers require additional PILB firearms approval under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 648. All deployed operators are vetted for PILB registration status, current Guard Card validity and training records before assignment.

CPOs position at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in advance of flight arrival, meeting principals in the domestic or international arrivals hall. Transfer vehicles are pre-positioned at kerbside pick-up, swept before principal boarding, and air-conditioned to mitigate summer heat. The 8km transfer to the Strip takes 10-20 minutes. During major convention periods, arrival volumes at LAS peak sharply; advance airport liaison is arranged for principals requiring expedited processing.

Las Vegas hosts some of the world’s largest trade conventions, including CES (January), NAB Show (April), AWS re:Invent (December) and SEMA (November), each drawing tens of thousands of delegates to the LVCC and Strip. LVMPD revised all large-venue security protocols following the 1 October 2017 Route 91 Harvest shooting. Executive protection teams operating during these periods factor current LVMPD advisories, LVCC access restrictions, pedestrian volume on the Strip, and alternative routing into operational planning. Counter-surveillance is heightened in high-density public areas.

CPOs hold current first-aid certification and carry first-aid kits and AEDs on all movements. University Medical Center (UMC, +1 702 383 2000) is Nevada’s only Level 1 trauma centre and the primary emergency medical facility. Sunrise Hospital (+1 702 731 8000) is the secondary option. Extreme heat protocols (June-September) include hydration planning and strict limits on outdoor dwell time. Emergency number: 911 for all services.
