Executive Protection Training
Day Seven: Evaluation & Graduation
Capstone Final Exam
Looking back:
So here we are on the last day of module one of the ISA Dignitary and Executive Protection Specialist training program and we would be remiss if we didn’t look back at what the students have accomplished to get here.
On day one students covered the administrative side of legally operating as an agent. We discussed, training, licenses, insurance, fitness, and continued education. But then we got into the type of details and organizations an agent may find job opportunities and the interpersonal communication and ethical dilemmas involved with EP work.
Day two was all about threat assessments and risk mitigation including how an agent’s training, license, and fitness may be considered in the threat assessment mitigation process.
On days three and four students did advance work, site surveys, physical security, and hostile surveillance. Then students prepared mission plans using everything from days two and three.
Day five students walked dismounted formations, in-door and out-door scenarios, reaction drills to a threat to the protectee, de-escalation, and arrival and departure procedures. All while stressing how each of these procedures or measures may be affected by the threat assessment.
On day six students attend AVERT active shooter and emergency medicine training with CPR/AED/Stop Bleed and basic first aid certification. We also covered terrorism and extremism and the federal and state laws and regulations that every agent should be aware of.
Executive Protection Training Day Seven: Evaluation and Graduation
| Task | Timeline |
| Exercise/Assignment: Demonstrate the Proper Execution Of Mission Tasks Preparing For, Executing, And Completing Protective Operations |
Time: 12 hrs. // 1-hr. Review & After Action |
|
Conditions: Like most good executive protection training programs the students will execute a mission in real time with different scenarios. You may be tasked to pick up a client at the airport, escort them horseback riding, attending a ballgame or escort your protectee to a meeting at a government building. These exercises are done under strict safety protocols and in the public domain so the instructors coordinate these scenarios with local business leaders, police and other agencies. Agents will be properly dressed, briefed and for some exercises, may be armed with training weapons. The ISA compliance officer, instructors and role players are well aware of all local laws and respect private property at all times. Missions evolve with various changes being made to assignments, detail organization, communications, itinerary, maintenance failures and emergencies. Students will take the final written exam.
