What are Some of the Must-Have Skills of a Bodyguard?
by Executive Protection Institute EPI was founded in 1978A bodyguard is a professional security officer whose job is to protect clients from threats such as kidnapping, stalking, and assault. Personal bodyguards protect by planning routes, assessing any threats, and searching buildings and vehicles.
Even though presence and preparation are all that’s needed to prevent an attack successfully, a bodyguard must also be prepared to use force if the situation calls for it.
Critical skills that a bodyguard must have
Armed bodyguards may even serve as a driver for their clients. This is why a bodyguard needs to have a protective driving course under his belt.
Individuals who hire bodyguards include public figures, such as politicians and celebrities, since they are at higher risk than average individuals.
Skills such as hostage negotiation, evasive driving, CPR, and first aid are just as crucial as hand-to-hand combat training.
Extremely wealthy people may also hire personal protection for themselves or their loved ones. You can find an employment opportunity through either a private security company or by working for an individual client.
Requirements
There are several requirements that you need to fulfill if you wish to become a professional bodyguard.
An applicant has often required some professional training in weaponry, combat, and defense and should have some experience on the field with this training.
Executive protection schools are the best way to get all the training required to be a professional bodyguard. However, besides knowing weaponry, a bodyguard also needs to be physically fit.
Though working as a private bodyguard may be a dangerous and stressful task at times. Still, with regular employment, hard work, and getting some time off between jobs, it can be a rewarding job, both personally as well as financially.
If you feel like you have what it takes to be a bodyguard, then you need to get your professional training done and start right away.
