Executive protection in Santo Domingo is a programme, not a single officer. It is the discipline a company applies to protect a travelling executive against crime, armed robbery, and express-kidnapping risk: advance work on venues and routes, a written risk assessment, an operations controller, and Ministry of Interior and Police licensed secure transport integrated with the corporate itinerary. This page is for security managers designing protection around a C-suite visit, where the need is layered, documented risk management.
