| At one time the personal protection industry was dominated by nightclub bouncers, former football players, and ex-cops. This old breed of "bodyguards" viewed their defensive skills, gun permits, and physical size as the sole qualifications for their work in protecting others. However, as too many discover the hard way, reliance on reactive skills alone is a sure recipe for disaster in today's era of sophisticated and dedicated adversaries.
Survival in today's executive protection industry requires a complex mixture of knowledge and skills--proactive security planning, threat analysis methodology, advance work, emergency medicine, operational logistics, cultural awareness, technical security, and numerous other issues. Though reactive readiness is an important element in executive protection, prevention is the core of all successful security programs.
The S2 Institute provides a number of specialized courses to enhance the capabilities of individuals tasked with personal protection. These courses are all presented by specialists with decades of experience protecting principals in environments ranging from Wall Street to the streets of Baghdad.
