• A specialist working as a close personal
  protection officer (or bodyguard) is likely to
  have undergone several tiers of training to be
  working at the highest levels of their
  profession.
• The top earning bodyguards can earn as much as
  600,00 dollars per year, but this would not be a
  typical wage in the industry.
• The determining factors that would go into the
  calculating the salary would be very much based
  on the skills and experience of the bodyguard
  combined with the profile and wealth of the VIP
  they were hired to protect.
• Generally, the higher the profile, the higher the
  risk and hence the demand for the best in the
  industry increases.

• Almost everyone working at any level has started
  their career in the armed forces, law enforcement
  or has been trained by security companies that
  focus on weapons training and combat.
• Since the primary job of an officer working in
  close personal protection is to protect the VIP,
  they must be able to give themselves the best
  opportunity of shutting down a threat which means
  being in top physical shape and combat ready.
• Most professionals will train regularly in some
  form of martial art to stay sharp and fit.
• Many will have much more brutal hand to hand
  combat skills that do not get taught in martial
  arts schools and will practice these as part of
  their routine also.

• These physical skills are important and are
  obviously mandatory to work at any level, but the
  most sought after bodyguards have other craftier
  skillsets than your typical veterans who have
  only ever focused on the physical aspects of
  training.
• The best operators are the guys that can plan for
  situations or events in ways that will minimise
  risk and prevent problems and confrontational
  situations long before they arise.
• This could mean anything from mapping different
  travel routes to assessing individual profiles of
  people that will be in close contact and
  identifying warnings long before they become
  actual threats.
• The best advice anyone can give to a personal
  protection officer is that you can never be
  over-prepared.

• Despite all of this, sometimes situations that
  would seriously scare even the most seasoned
  veterans will occur.
• They might be seemingly natural circumstances
  that quickly get out of control due to crowd
  numbers or aggression triggers.
• Very occasionally, there will be a direct
  targeted attack designed specifically to
  disorient the protection officer.
• The number one skill any bodyguard needs is to be
  able to think on their feet and react in a
  dynamic and fluid situation that most protects
  their VIP from any threat.
• Being able to adapt in unplanned for and
  dangerous territory is what separates the top
  operators with the elite.

• Judgement is the true essence of the top
  performer in security field and it comes with
  dedicated training, persistence and experience.
• Judgement, not only in threat related situations,
  but also in communicating with people,
  maintaining confidentiality and best use of
  available resources for any operation.
• When asked what the single most important factor
  was in determining the quality of the
  professional, the overwhelming response was being
  able to accurately assess any situation and
  exercise appropriate judgement.
