Commonly referred to as bodyguard work, Close Proximity Protection work refers to the protection of individuals, typically high-profile or vulnerable persons, by staying in their immediate vicinity. It is often part of executive protection or bodyguard services, where security personnel are responsible for safeguarding a client (often referred to as the principal) from physical harm or threats. Close proximity work involves maintaining a protective position near the client at all times, ensuring they are shielded from potential dangers such as attacks, harassment, or accidents. Key aspects of close proximity work in security include:
- Physical Presence: Security personnel stay within arm’s reach or slightly farther, depending on the level of risk and the environment.
- Risk Assessment: Constantly analyzing potential threats in the environment, including crowds, entrances/exits, and suspicious behavior.
- Evasion or Response Plans: Being prepared to remove the principal from dangerous situations quickly or to neutralize threats.
This type of work is common for security companies offering executive protection services, particularly for corporate executives, celebrities, politicians, and other high-value individuals.
