Executive Protection Fundamentals brings the profession back to fundamentals: discretion, movement, judgment, and protection of the client’s brand. Designed and instructed by an operator with over a decade of experience in military PSD, high-threat contracting, and corporate executive protection, this course bridges the gap between combat mindsets and private-sector reality.
