Guarding the Frontline: What a Bodyguard Does

At a fundamental level, a bodyguard has a very important role in protecting their clients. They provide protection from physical harm, attacks, or harassment. They must be prepared to stay alert and react quickly to any potential threats to their client.

They may even put themselves in harm's way to protect their client. A bodyguard must have a strong physical presence and muscle to successfully protect their client. They must also be able to assess situations and determine the best course of action to keep their client safe.

Protection Plus: Executive Protection Services

Unlike bodyguards, executive protection services are more comprehensive and multifaceted. Tactical Response Security provides executive protection personnel with a wide range of specialized skills.

These individuals are typically sourced from military or law enforcement backgrounds and undergo rigorous executive protection training courses. Executive protection services cover everything from threat assessment and risk analysis to travel security, emergency response, and more.

Focused Versus All-encompassing: Scope of Protection
