Close Protection Agents

Our executive protection agents are recruited from the ranks of former military and law enforcement as well as some private-sector entities, and must complete a rigorous education and certification process, complete with our best-in-class Executive Protection Training Program.

In addition to defense, combat, and firearms training, our agents are trained to perform advance work and planning, logistics, emergency medical response, communications and surveillance. They are certified in Emergency First Aid, CPR/AED, and always travel with trauma kits. These agents are also thoroughly screened with intense (and regularly-updated) background checks and psychological assessments and strength tests.

In addition, The Petrie Group carries $10 million in armed liability insurance (almost all other firms only carry $1 million or less) as well as workers’ compensation insurance to shield you from potential lawsuits. This minimizes your liability, whereas relying on in-house security typically adds to your potential liability and risk. Our mission is to bring you total peace of mind.
