Synopsis

The leading publication on Close Protection. Arguably the most relevant and accurate interpretation of one of the world's most unusual and secretive professions, this book provides a no-holds barred depiction of Close Protection containing specialist advice and guidance gained from operating at the pinnacle of both Government and commercial CP operations around the world.

Close Protection encompasses a form of tactical doctrine in which a standards set of manoeuvres; kinds of troops and weapons are employed as a default approach to a kind of attack. This 'doctrine' has been diluted within the commercial environment at the detriment of regulation, market forces and profitability and the general lack of diligence by many of those employed. If the reason for protection remains a matter of life or death for those being protected then the concept of 'typical' CP operations needs to change and calls for greater flexibility in planning, training and operational capabilities in tactics, techniques and procedure... The book continues to be ordered by various government departments as well as commercial organisations including Government protection units responsible for the protection of Presidents, Prime Ministers and Heads of State throughout the world, Security departments of Embassies & Consulates, Commercial training providers for use as their training manuals and student reading, Security companies and organisations worldwide as well as being recommended as background reader for the FdA Degree in Protective Security Management at Buckinghamshire New University. Due to the sensitive nature of its content, this book remains the only one concerning Close Protection that was required to be submitted to the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence for clearance prior to publication.
