Synopsis

An Introduction to Executive Protection provides beginners in the occupation of executive protection with the tools they need to know and appreciate the profession; to enable them to realize what is expected when they are placed in positions of confidence and trust; and to understand the implications of being responsible for the safety and lives of others.
This guide emphasizes the basic elements of executive protection which are often neglected or overlooked in practical application, even by professional schools of executive protection instruction which sometimes mistakenly assume all enrollees are practiced journeymen. In addition to practical and technical considerations of the profession, "executive protection" means working with people on a personal level. The author draws on his extensive and varied experience in the field to share events that inform and enlighten students of executive protection and teach them how to best avoid endangering those they protect.

Review

"'Well done!' If the members of the media who have been so critical of the Secret Service would have read this book, they might understand where we are coming from." -P. Hamilton Brown, Executive Secretary The Association of Former Agents of the U.S. Secret Service, Inc. "Having the covered the White House for 35 years, I think Dale June has written a fascinating and marvelously instructive book on what it takes to protect a President or VIP. It's an eye-opener on those heroes who are dedicated to take a bullet to save a life, and it is "must" reading for those who aspire to the profession of executive protection and, in fact, for all Americans." -Helen Thomas, White House Bureau Chief, United Press International Promo Copy
