Management;

usually called the EP specialist.

o Prevent and avoid danger.
o Realize that anyone can protect anyone.
o Don’t stop to think.
o Keep clients out of trouble.
o Understand the security vs. convenience continuum.
o Rely on brains, not technology.
• Collecting information – the advance assessment (good
advance reduces exposure by smoothing logistics)
• The choreography (maneuvering) used by the EP
specialist to physically move about with the subject is
called “working the principal.”

Management;
• Conducting an EP risk assessment, the specialist must
consider two factors.
o The threats that the executive faces must be analyzed
based on multiple considerations such as the
executive’s position with the employer, access to and
level of exposure among potential adversaries, access
to wealth or other lifestyle attributes, publicity, and
travel practices.
o The specialist must assess the likelihood that threats
could be carried out successfully
