How do you know if the company you selected is the best available? There is no Better Business Bureau standard for security in high threat areas such as Latin America, Eastern Europe, Afghanistan or Iraq. So how do you know?
Security in places like this and others demand more skills than what you get from simply completing a well-known protection school. It requires more experience than having been the guard for a well-known celebrity in Hollywood. It requires more thought than just hiring the company with the best website or neat logo.
Why? Because if you hire the wrong company it could be the last time you hire anyone.
There are many groups that will claim to be able to provide security in high-risk areas. Why? Honestly, because they see potential profit in front of them. They range from corporations whose specialty was training police departments and making steel targets, to former soldiers working out of the trunks of their cars, to competent companies with seasoned professionals.
So how do you wade through the confusion?
Examine your situation – everyone is different. Your security needs will not be the same as another’s. Your goals & budget will vary, and on and on. So first, examine your needs.
Then look at the historical data - Protective Services personnel excel at living and working in this very austere environment. These are the types of persons you want to hire – they understand the culture, blend in and have the training if necessary.
