The Close Protection Book - The Leading Publication on Close Protection

In 2012, I published my first book, Close Protection, A Closer Observation of the Protection Equation, as a result of experiencing first-hand the blasé attitude towards Close Protection by the SIA, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), Awarding Bodies and other assisting organisations together with a combination of both a frustration of the deplorable commercial training and operational standards, other publications on the subject and a passion to strive for industry excellence in this elitist role. The book subsequently went on to become the leading publication on Close Protection having been ordered by government protection units responsible for the protection of Presidents, Prime Ministers and Heads of State throughout the world, security departments of Embassies & Consulates and NATO HQ, Central Security and Protection Division/ Centre for Knowledge & Expertise , The Hague, commercial training providers for use as their training manuals and student reading, used as a referenced textbook by degree academics in the fields of criminology and security & risk management, ordered by academic, public, government, corporate and specialist libraries including the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and Arabic translation and publication rights acquired by The Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Research. This revised and updated edition delves into the restrictions and limitations imposed on operational performance. From private sector CP training and companies (contract service providers) to laws to budgets to Governments' prying eyes, this book will unearth the problems, difficulties, complications and evils of the commercial industry whilst providing the vital solutions to maximise Close Protection operations to an effective, workable and professional state.
