VIP Protection & Counter Terrorism Operative 

HOW BECOME A PROFESSIONAL BODYGUARD?

The Modern Musketeer, Biaoshi or Samurai in the 21^st Century

Insight

A hundred years ago in the western world there were those who chose to serve in the protection of their employers and they were called “Musketeers”. In the Far East, they were known as “Biaoshi& Samurai”. No matter what they were called, all knew the definition of their profession and their duties:

To keep their Protégés and their families safe and secure wherever they need.

In the 21st century, those who deal with the protection of their employers are called Bodyguards, Close Protection Operatives, and VIP/Executive Protection Specialists. More recently, they have been called PSD Operators and Personal Security Details/Detachments because of their deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan which have become known as the most dangerous areas for VIPs (not necessary heads of state).

Many romantic stories and legends were told about these unique individuals and in most of these stories they were described as the bravest of warriors, heroes or supermen. This profession created an aura around those who chose to specialize and live by the rules of the field. It is one of the oldest professions in the world.

This sector gave society a few norms of behavior that gained high respect and honor from its communities.

The massive changes that globalization has brought to all areas of life has also created grave concerns for both personal safety and the protection of investments located in critical areas around the globe. These specially trained and highly skilled personnel are hired to protect individuals or assets of organizations that operate in High-Risk environments or may face violent crime or Terrorism encounters.

We all know that in modern democratic society, public bodies, economic companies, media, cultural, entertainment and industrial organizations and others are managed by Senior Executives/Decisions Makers.  These Executives are symbols of power and wealth. Their high position places them in the public eye and media attention, and, as a result, they are liable to be targeted by both individuals and groups (competitors, terrorist and crime organizations, mentally unstable individuals, etc.).

Many of the VIPs/Executives often refrain from using protection services because of the lack of reliable and efficient professional services and because of the increase in price (due to the lack of a suitable infrastructure allowing better service for less money).

As a result, many of them take unnecessary risks, not only for themselves and their organizations but also for their families, employees and even innocent by passers.

The lack of sufficient secure and safe conditions/atmosphere for these VIPs/Executives prevents or reduces opportunities for development for the entire society.

Special note

We believe that the VIP Protection branch is the most important in the security field. Among all the various security fields, it requires the highest level of skills, know-how, practical experience, quality of people and seriousness, especially because the danger to a human life is the gravest and most immediate.

SYLLABUS

Module 1 – The Protection operative

Mental Toughness, Empowerment & Preparedness Training

Self-awareness, Self Esteem, Emotional Intelligence, Self-confidence, Assertivenessand Stress management.

This is an extensive practical training program initiated by International Security Academy – Israel, based on the real Israeli expertise, concepts, and methods to strengthen people when coping with high pressure situations. It deals with self-empowerment and team-empowerment.

Israel and its citizens are continually under threat of terrorist attacks from within and from outside the country, therefore the Israeli population have been trained and given the ability to overcome unexpected attacks and to adapt to high threat situations of extreme violence. We give priority to the qualifications and involvement of our entire population in the struggle against violent crime or terrorism; we do not consider it as the concerns of the Law Enforcement only.

Our experience dictates that a person in a stronger mental and physical condition feel more self-confident, functions and cops much better with high stress situations resulting from crises and violence. We realized that self-confidence improves the participant’s character and behavior in their family, their awareness and desire to contribute, to be more involved and to influence the quality of life in the entire society, the lack of self-confidence turns people into aggressors or potential victims, who look and behave accordingly

Israel’s secret weapon has, and always will be, our entire society strength; or, more precisely, the education, training and preparation of Israelis have defeated and mitigated the violent crime and terrorism, and have helped and will continue to help bring healthy economy and high living standards to our country’s population.

Do not let anyone make you the victim !!!

Why we need Inner Strength?

• A person with a strong mental and physical condition will demonstrate a high level of self-confidence, and is able to deal successfully with high-stress situations resulting from a personal crisis or a violent event.
• High self-confidence and self-esteem will guarantee improvement of personal behavior, self-motivation, situational awareness, and pro-activeness. Thus, those critical elements will influence the individual’s quality of life.
• Inner Strength prevents us from being victims of unfortunate circumstances. It is intended for forward thinking people, who wish to advance further then they have managed before.
• Studies have shown that Inner strength is one of the most important characteristics of successful people.
• Inner strength allows you to motivate and lead yourself and others from within. Inner strength is the ability to withstand adverse situations based on mental and physical fitness. It encompasses situational awareness, readiness and willingness to persist in difficult situations. The sources for personal inner strength are: confidence, spirituality, and mental strength.
• Inner Strength permits you to be more independent and take responsibility for events that take place in your life; enabling a proactive mentality and risk-taking within the decision making process.
• Most importantly, leaders need to understand the responsibility of their decisions and actions, and only leaders with inner strength will be guided from within. Due to the recent growing importance of entrepreneurship in our daily lives, we need to explore the core strength of our inner ability far more than ever before.

Do not let anyone make you the victim !!!

What is so special in the program?

• The program is based on models developed by ISA-ISRAEL; Leveraging ISA core expertise has created a unique avant-garde development program concentrating on personal inner strength based leadership.
• The program combines simulated and dynamic training, and hands-on drills infused with psychological solutions and emotional resiliency training.
• Our primary objective is to provide our trainees with an unforgettable experience that is unique, a magnificent opportunity to develop and apply solid inner strengths.
• Our Training programs are different, special and unique – we supply each participant with an unforgettable practical experience.
• The various analyses together with the vast experience accumulated in Israel and throughout the world have led to an unequivocal conclusion:

To improve our ability to understand and operate under emotional and psychological stress, during situations of violence and pressure, we combine practical training, simulations of unusual situations, and drills.

Our preparation methods for this struggle resembles a vaccine against viruses, which is actually a weakened dosage of the cause of the illness, which causes the immune system to strengthen without damaging it, thus achieving future inoculation against similar diseases.

Participant’s achievements

The participants will:

• Experience a deep, sustainable genuine change with preparedness for future challenges.
• Possess a solid proactive sense, “take-charge” mode, and strong personal visions that serve as life guidance in decision making process.
• Have supreme confidence, high self-esteem, and a lucid state of mind.
• Get steadfast improvement to function under pressure mentally and physically.
• Feel renewed and will experience personal growth and be highly motivated.
• Improve self-control; be able to mitigate and overcome any intimidations which typically appear in modern society.

Dear friends from all level of society, hope and faith is very helping to overcome crisis but the real solution to defeat your street crime/terror and unsafe feeling is to support your leaders and law enforcement and take action by improving your own inner strength and physical abilities to struggle against the “evils” that try to terrorize your life daily.

This instruction emphasizes on detection and prevention, not disposal, of explosive threats. Methods of search techniques are covered as well as preventive procedures to implement as policy in public buildings, including how to prepare for “threat calls”. Personality profiles of bomb threat callers and actual bomber motivations are explored in detail. While we do not expect to train bomb disposal technicians, we do hope to instill a sufficient level of knowledge so that our graduate is capable of offering intelligent advice to his employer, establishing basic safety procedures, and knowing what to do during a bombing incident.
