The increase in the number of terrorist attacks in different parts of the world and the continuing threats in many developed and developing countries is causing incessant damage to development and progress of the affected countries and the world as a whole. Not only has it affected lives of people in general, but has also had damaging impact on trade and commerce, industry, and all other developmental activities. However, the largest threat from terrorist activities still persists to lives of important dignitaries, political leaders, bureaucrats and heads of states. Hence close protection is seeing a continuous demand which apparently will only increase with time. Bodyguard training is therefore necessary to ensure a foolproof close security cover.
One of the major challenges faced by the close protection security industry today is the risk of close protection friendly fire which is causing enormous amount of damage to the reliability of close protection security operations. Dr. Mark D. Yates, the British American Security Expert and Bodyguard Training Consultant states; this is due to lack of professional close protection security training offered by cowboy bodyguards.
As militants and attackers adopt changing tactics continuously, it becomes necessary for bodyguards to remain abreast with the latest in security training and get themselves trained from global leading industry expert Bodyguard Training Consultants like Dr. Mark D. Yates, The British American Security Expert.
In absence of a systematic, professional and advanced training, bodyguards may not be able to perform to their potential. There has been increase in the number of cases of close protection friendly fire in different parts of the world including many recent cases in the middle-east.
Bodyguard Training Consultant and The British American Security Expert, Dr. Mark D. Yates at www.closeprotectiongz.com through unique training systems, ensures bodyguards are not only exposed to actual and simulated conditions of the attacks, but he also trains them in increasing their level of observation, consciousness, proactive-ness and reflex security actions, which results in heightened awareness and alertness. His specialised close protection training also includes use of live aids and a continuous update on technological security products and service advances which helps reduce unnecessary incidents of close protection friendly fire.
