COVERT EXECUTIVE PROTECTION | ADVANCED - LEVEL 01 (CEP-301) MAY 5th - 9th 2024, Las Vegas NV.

INTRODUCTION

Covert protection is one of the fastest-growing specializations in corporate and high-net-worth security–simultaneously enhancing threat mitigation and offering principals increased personal freedom. This course offers unmatched opportunities to develop or further enhance this unique skillset.

PURPOSE

This exceptional five-day program teaches attendees how to reclaim the element of surprise and the tactical advantage by conducting truly covert protective operations.

The traditional mode of executive protection requires agents to respond to emergent threats as they occur. This reactionary approach allows adversaries a distinct advantage the choice of where, when, what, and how they will conduct their hostile acts. They have the element of surprise. We find that unacceptable.

In order to identify and counter a sophisticated adversary as early as possible, skilled protectors must fully appreciate and understand how the adversary behaves, collects information and

operates. The covert techniques and methodologies delivered in this course enable EP/PS agents to effectively “come out of the woodwork” and surprise any hostile force thereby reclaiming the tactical advantage.

An added (but by no means unimportant) benefit of covert protection is the freedom it offers our principals. Most clients don’t want to “feel” or see EP agents until the moment when it’s absolutely necessary. Covert protection offers principals a high degree of personal freedom and normalcy while fundamentally enhancing the effectiveness of the security program. Thanks to the challenges of this unique environment (also used as a proving ground by some of the most elite elements of the U.S. military and intelligence community), participants who complete this course satisfactorily will be prepared to powerfully reinforce protective operations while remaining entirely covert.
