Bodyguard Hire

Hiring a bodyguard in a high-risk city is not the same as hiring one in London or New York. The operator needs to know the local threat landscape, speak the language (or work with someone who does), understand local law enforcement dynamics, and hold valid in-country credentials.

When you need a bodyguard

Not every trip requires close protection. But if you are travelling to a city with elevated kidnapping risk, high rates of armed robbery, or political instability that could shift quickly, a trained operator on the ground changes your risk profile substantially.

Corporate travellers, journalists, NGO workers, and high-net-worth individuals are the most common clients. The common thread is that they are operating in environments where their profile, nationality, or movements make them a potential target.

How we select operators

Every bodyguard in our network goes through a multi-stage vetting process. We verify their close protection licence, confirm their employment history, run background checks, and assess their operational experience in the specific city where they will deploy.

We do not subcontract to agencies we have not vetted. You receive named operators with documented track records, not whoever happens to be available.

What happens on assignment

Before you arrive, your operator conducts advance reconnaissance: surveying routes between your hotel, meeting locations, and the airport. They identify safe havens, map the locations of hospitals and police stations, and establish communication protocols.

During the assignment, your operator remains within immediate response distance. They manage ground movements, screen approaches, monitor the local security situation in real time, and maintain communication with our operations desk.
