The Homeland Security Reality & Future trends!
Insights
Economic impacts
-
Unfortunately, the recent geopolitical changes, the demographic changes, economic crises and of course the cultural differences created already and continue creating new critical security, safety threats, and various conflicts (War drums’ sounds), that are already disturbing and risking the secure and peaceful lifestyle in present and in the very near future.
- Over the last few years following into 2020 and beyond were delivered multiple crime threats that none have experienced before.
- The “slowdown” impacts on the Global economy are affecting also various security missions worldwide that the economic reality and its needs cannot tolerate it for a long time.
- The urgent need for New economic resources, activities, and market development Followed a serious “slowdown”.
- This forces all state economy leaders to look and search for such different economic opportunities overseas for developing markets/economies ASAP.
- Lack of the right attitude and the awareness of the required protection and necessary security measures overseas has resulted in an unsafe overall condition. This has also created unsafe conditions for business activities of entrepreneurs thus negatively impacting development.
- These miserable security conditions and the lack of security have drastically slowed down and prevented the necessary overseas presence of entrepreneurs from all countries worldwide to pursue their business affairs and seek development/ expansion.
- We know that to stay ahead of these conflicts, the entire civilian population needs to be more aware and better prepared for today’s “modern” catastrophes, violence, and terrorizing encounters.
- This situation created and forced countries to rely more on Local service solutions in various needed domains including Security & Safety.
- Each Local Civil security market is adjusting these days to various needed changes when serving and protecting foreigner residents, investors visiting looking for business opportunities and of course their own” Upper-class population”.
- Lack of the right attitude and the awareness of the required protection and the necessary security measures overseas or out of the region boundaries is creating an unsafe overall atmosphere, and unsafe conditions for the business activities of entrepreneurs thus negatively impacting business development.
- These miserable security conditions or the lack of security, are drastically slowing down and preventing the necessary overseas presence of entrepreneurs from all countries worldwide to pursue their business affairs, to seek development and expansion.
- This has affected Africa, the Middle East, Asia, CIS, Latin America and even in north Africa, which traditionally used to be a European-oriented economy.
- With this increase in the amount and the scope of threats, businesses, public, state or other bodies realize that in our times the protection services provided by security companies are crucial for the success of any organization trying to develop in these continents.
The Homeland Security concerns and responsibilities are of each country’s law enforcement entities, that start to involve each of its local Civilian Security Industry as the law enforcement’s “Auxiliary force” in particularly challenging operations such as:
- Since the end of the 20stCentury, we experienced a growing tendency by official authorities to involve and transfer more responsibilities for public security missions to the Civilian Security Industry (security companies / organizations), responsibilities traditionally held in the past by law enforcement sectors or various emergency service’s providers.
- TODAY, these responsibilities already involved the Civilian Security Industry also in very challenging operations such as: Violent crime prevention and confrontations with armed robberies encounters and its possible effects later on.
- Enforcing & operating restrictions everywhere, Assets Protection & Guarding, Violent crime prevention, Personal Protection of various persons, which eventually become Protegees, and confrontations with armed robberies encounters and its effects later.
- Due to the expected high demand and need to privatize certain functions of government, it may initiate a major transformation in the civilian Security Industry.
- This trend follows also various regulatory requirements and upgrades by the government’s desire for a more efficient security apparatus and safer public environment.
- Many countries worldwide are entering a process of upgrading their professional security requirements and will no doubt review their regulations, implement, and enforce the security studies for Civilian Security practitioners as a mandatory for the most important security posts in various organizations and companies.
- Each state “regulator” should be expected to exert and exact greater demand from the person in that position, and it may not be good enough merely being an ex-military or a police officer. These personnel will need major security and professional upgrades to mitigate and overcome the potential threat in each one of the newborn homeland’s security issues or encounters.
Security, therefore, has taken the forefront in international, governmental, and corporate strategies and the need for qualified Protection Consultants, Advisers and Specialists is paramount.
Both governments and private companies are developing methods and tactics to stay one step ahead of these threats and the role of these professionals is the key to success in doing so.
For assisting the growing trend to continue and help develop the International Security Industry we should fill the void by providing more employment and attractive career opportunities in the regular Civil Security Sector also to veterans of various military, law enforcement establishments and PMC personnel worldwide.
“In a modern army,
the Battalion Commander is considered the most influential warrior.
In a modern security and protection structure,
the Chief Security Officer (CSO) is the most influential operative.”
The Chief Security Officer – CSO has numerous responsibilities and though his action will depend on his organization’s character, activities and location, his job will always inevitably involve detecting the weak points of the organization and securing them. His duty is to prevent any harm to his organization through all means placed at his disposal.
On this background of the alarming rise in crime against VIPs, executives, businesses, public, state and financial bodies worldwide.
The need for a qualified Chief Security Officer – CSO capable of providing services related to the protection of assets (sensitive installations) and VIPs such as experts, engineers, journalists, UN employees and even cargo ship’s crews has increased tremendously.
Today, due to the high demand and need to privatize certain functions of government to the civilian workforce, this specialized field of protection services has become one of the fastest growing sectors. Countries, companies and organizations worldwide are currently reestablishing themselves in order to fill the void in the security field.
Our support will be sharing our proven expertise and know in order to assist to reorganize their existing security system by assessing their protection needs, qualifying their Chief of Security, Directors and those potentials to become even Instructors and with them together to assist the training of their protection personnel, guide them for setting up relevant procedures, control and supervision methods and advising about means and equipment needed for their efficient and comprehensive protection array.
Such opportunity is offered also to those who are active in the field of Security (security companies or individual experts in that domain), Who understand that there is Never an End to advancement and training and whose Professionalism is expressed by an ongoing pursuit for knowledge and the attempt to acquire as wide a range of knowledge as possible
PERSONAL PROTECTION SPECIALIST
The Modern “Musketeer”, “Biaoshi”, “Kshatriyas” or “Samurai” of the 21st Century
A NECESSITY IN THE 21St CENTURY!
Insights
- 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 become Protegees targeted by both individuals and groups (competitors, terrorist and crime organizations, mentally unstable individuals, etc.).
- Today, 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.
- The need for qualified Personal Protection Specialists capable of providing services related to the protection of assets (sensitive installations) and Protegees /VIPs such as: experts, engineers, journalists, UN employees and even cargo ship’s crews has increased tremendously.
- Unfortunately, many of the VIPs/Executives often refrain from using protection services because of the lack of reliable, efficient, and professional services. As a result, many of them take unnecessary risks, not only for themselves and their organizations but also for their families, employees.
- The lack of sufficient secure and safe conditions/atmosphere for these VIPs/Executives prevents or reduces opportunities for economic development for the entire society.
“This is not merely an idea,It’s the reality of the social and Global evolution”
-
A few 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 Asia, they were known as “Samurai” or “Biaushi” in China or “Kshatriyas” in India. No matter what they were called, all knew the definition of their profession and their duties:
to keep their Protégée’s and their families secure and safe wherever they went.
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.
-
In the 21st century, those who deal with the protection of their employers are called Bodyguards, Close Protection, and VIP/Executive Protection specialists, more recently, they have been called PSD Operators and Personal Security Details/Detachments because of their deployment in High-risk zones in team which have become known as the most dangerous areas for VIPs (not necessary heads of state).
-
Due to the high demand and need to privatize certain functions of government to the civilian workforce, this specialized field of Personal protection services has become one of the fastest growing sectors. countries, companies, and organizations worldwide are currently reestablishing themselves in order to fill the void in the security field.
-
For years Women in positions of Female Personal Protection operatives are being sought after by Protegees to protect their families – wives and children 24/7 as priority, and themselves secondly if in High-Risk threat situations, when team is mandatory.
-
Female celebrities are very keen on the use of other females as bodyguards, 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 “Protegees” that are from various religions including cultural and diverse nationalities, are requiring female professionals for the protection of their wives and families.
-
Male bodyguards in a protection team consider their female counterparts as the ‘Secret Weapon’ of the strategic and tactical professional protection team! This sector gave society a few norms of behavior that gained high respect and honor from its communities. These specially trained and highly skilled personnel are hired to protect individuals or assets of organizations that operate in High-Risk environments or face High risk threats to their Protegees.
