A Bodyguard, otherwise known as a Close Protection Officer is a highly specialized type of protective agent who guards a person or group of people from danger including theft, assault, kidnapping, assassination, harassment, threats, and other criminal offences. Bodyguards are usually hired by wealthy people, celebrities, and high-ranking public officials. The person whom the Bodyguard is protecting is often referred to as the VIP. Extremely important public figures such as heads of state, heads of government, and governors are protected by several Bodyguards or by a team of Bodyguards. Those with lower risk profiles may be accompanied by a single Bodyguard.
“To be a Bodyguard is to be a Kamikaze pilot. Dedicated.”
