Protective Advances as a Service
ESL’s Protective Advances as a Service are designed to fortify executive protection by ensuring a thorough understanding of site-specific conditions at destinations that principals will visit. This includes comprehensive assessments of airports, travel routes, meeting venues, hotels, hospitals, other emergency facilities, and more. By leveraging detailed advance work, executive protection professionals can better safeguard principals’ security and enhance their productivity during travel.
The challenge
Despite the critical role of advance work in executive protection, many teams struggle to execute it effectively. This can be due to a lack of skills or experience among agents or insufficient staffing that only covers daily protection needs, leaving no capacity for pre-trip preparations.
