En:How to Hire a Bodyguard\Private Security Company
"Bodyguard" has become a "Hollywood-ized" term and is probably not what you want. The vocational name is "Executive Protection" or "Close Protection" and specialists are not hard to find. Follow these instructions to ensure you're getting someone truly qualified to protect another person's life and well-being.
Understand that "Personal Security" is a professional service, so keep your expectations realistic. As the core component of PROTECTIVE SERVICES, Personal Security is divided among several specialties focused on the type of person being protected. Individuals trained to handle corporate executives, politicians, dignitaries and high net-value families fall under "Close Protection" or "CP" in contrast with those trained to handle Celebrities, Actors, Musicians, Professional Athletes and other high-profile, public individuals are commonly referred to as "Talent Security". All qualified Practitioners are driven to be visibly low profile and are capable of adapting to and remaining as unobtrusive to your lifestyle as possible.
Search for a ,,freelance Bodyguard''.
Look on the Internet for a ,,freelance contactor'' in Close Protection area .Search for a specific background of a “Bodyguard” or “Close Protection Officer” or something closely related. The candidates will need license in order to work for you. That said, do not assume that a "Bodyguard" license from any state is in and of itself a good indicator of their abilities(for example SIA license valid only in UK),,a military background(with government documents,from Government Institutions) is much better that non military .Search for recommendation of the Close Protection Officer,by friends or by theys activities in the world,you can also find the professional social network of a candidate, for a small review.
Look for specific experience for your needs, and ask for examples of how the candidate has demonstrated proficiency in skills including, but not limited to:-choreography (knowing how to stand, walk and get in and out of a car with a Protectee)
-conducting advance work to prepare for trips and events ahead of time
-effective countermeasures to deal with an attack or security threat if one materializes
-knowledge of physical security and access control systems
-formal training in specialized driving skills, Extensive Firearms and Defensive Tactics or martial arts training.

your area\country\or where you travel.You may think that the price difference from Freelancer Bodyguard to a specialised Company is to huge,you may be wrong.Some companies prefer to put a high amprent on the quality service in front of a price instead of a Bodyguard, ho has a price for service(the quality is in discussion with each and every one of them).
How to search the accurate and professional Private Security Company?
-search not the best publicity ,find the rating of that company.
-evaluate the high level or the maximum potential of the searched company (for exemple - you are looking for Private Jet\Yacht service, available with 24\24 h Close Protection service - not all security companies can\will provide this service - find the one that have and can provide a specific service) and take a look at the partners,collaborators of the Company.
-inform about the team that is working in the company - experience(most important) and how old is the company in the ,,market''.
-avoid to rush the decision build on a few web search,see the web activities not just in your country but worldwide.
-if a private security company proudly expose the list of the clients - take contact with at least 2 or 3 old clients of that Company - have a opinion from them,BUT in generaly, a self respected security Company DO NOT REVEAL THE NAME OF A FORMER CLIENT by etical and moral reasons(in base of the non-disclosure and confidentiality statements that a Security Company agreed from the moment when a client decide to have the protection services,so, is not professional ,from a Security Company, to build a publicity on the back of a CLIENT NAME).
-find the number of employees of that company (10 employees in a agency, are not so powerful in front of a 500 employees in another agency\bigger is better in this case).
-the board(CEO\Consulting\Human Resourses\Comercial Area etc)usualy have a transparancy in front of the future client,as a legal represented , the CEO(for example) is easy to find on web - have a small review about him,his past,qualities,and his connections.If you don't find any info about this subject, is most probably that you will never find.
-see the latest activities of the company(on newspapers,blog,website,social network)
-take direct contact and send to the company address a message(email,phone,fax)and evaluate the professionality in the response, do not be afraid of asking any question about any subject that you want to know.
-request a meeting(if you decided on a specific Security Company) -face to face is more accurate than email or phone.Convince yourself about the Company reputation,personal and services that they will provide.
-finally,gather all the info about your ,,target'' and decide if in front of your needs the Security Company will handle and face any danger or thread.The decision must be yours and think that with a low quality service comes the real problems.
