ATHENA-Elite Protection Qualification Program

INSIGHTS – WOMEN ELITE PERSONAL PROTECTION PERSONNEL

• 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.
• Women in positions of Female VIP Protection operatives are being sought after by VIPs to protect their families – wives and children 24/7 firstly, and themselves secondly if in High-Risk threat situations, when a team is mandatory.
• Female celebrities and leaders are very keen on the use of other females as their Personal Protection operatives, as it is also a means of expressing their support of women’s empowerment. Especially due do to the fact that the Personal Protection sector has been a male-dominated field, there is a void posed by the absence of women in the field from which female clients can pick from.
• Most VIP’s that are from various religions including cultural and diverse nationalities, are requiring female professionals for the protection of their wives and families.
• In Israel we achieved great success in the integration of Female and male operatives to operate together in our law enforcement units for security and protection special operation missions. that “winning expertise” encouraged us at ISA – ISRAEL to share it also with our mates worldwide as we did in the past.
• Male bodyguards in a protection team consider their female counterparts as the “Secret Weapon” of the strategic and tactical professional protection team!
• For years now we have experienced an increase in demand of the number of qualified Female Bodyguards. From our experience, we have realized that proficient women Protection operatives contribute tremendously to the efficiency and development, of this special domain.
