In line with stripped back and underfunded police departments, private security has increased throughout Los Angeles county. There is a huge need for personal protection because communities can no longer rely on the police to protect them or act in a proactive way.

Private security, on the other hand, is designed to address all types of threats with a high level of training. Protection agents also bring with them a depth of understanding of complex issues that police do not have the resources to handle properly.

One instance where a private protection team is much more prepared and able to provide adequate support is with domestic issues. For example, if a couple is splitting up and one party begins to issue threats to their ex-partner, the police may suggest that a restraining order is instantly taken out. This is a surprisingly dangerous thing to do. Consider, the threatening individual may have hit rock bottom at this point and a restraining order could be the instance that drives this individual over the edge.

Domestic relationships and situations are incredibly difficult to manage due to the emotions involved. Police cannot be equipped to handle this type of situation and likely have no training on the warning signs and risks to look out for.

Elite executive protection agents, however, have training that encompasses a huge variety of situations and circumstances and are trained to be aware of warning signs. They can act to diffuse the situation while keeping both parties safe and separated.

When domestic situations and restraining orders are involved, clients and their protection agents should be consulting with forensic psychologists to understand the partner’s state of mind and know how best to proceed with a minimum threat level.

Instant Response to Threats

Executive protection is designed to provide an  instant and effective response to any type of threat, including blackmail, burglary, and physical threats. Clients can no longer wait for police to respond because sometimes the police will not come to the scene at all and most of the time will be too late to do anything.

Protecting yourself and your loved ones is the first priority of an executive protection team. They will take the necessary steps to lay down a strong security foundation within the home and monitor the residence and client when needed and required.

Executive protection agents are highly trained individuals who have the correct instincts to protect first and to only engage with dangerous individuals when absolutely necessary. There is no need to be flashy or violent as a protection agent, only to remove the client from harm’s way as quickly as possible.

Resources and Expertise

Forensic psychologists and FBI profilers may also get involved to discover  the intent and state of mind of the sender. This can be vital to determine the difference between an online troll and a true, criminal threat with real intention behind their words.
