Introduction to Executive Protection

Since its original publication in 1998, Introduction to Executive Protection has been considered the bible of the executive security industry. Now in its 4th edition, this new volume, conceived and developed by Dale L. June, drawing from his experiences in the United States Secret Service, law enforcement & the private sector, has been reworked and revised with new content, chapters, and input with over 60% new material.

Much more than simply an introduction, this book is a powerful learning tool, with the author now joined by Elijah Shaw, one of the foremost experts in working globally with celebrities and other high net-worth VIP’s. The authors include real world examples of bodyguards working with politicians and religious figures, and dealing with everything from stalking to assassination attempts. This volume further digs into the tactics and the mindset necessary for protectors to mitigate the risk of it happening to their clients.

Packed with tips for successfully navigating the corporate, celebrity & dignitary sectors, the reader will find in-depth discussions on a variety of topics, ranging from setting up estate security plans, to working in and around private jets. The world is changing daily, and as both an educational and resource tool, this book is sure to provide new outlooks for both the experienced and the newcomer alike.
