Personal Close Protection.

Will having Personal Close Protection draw attention to me?

Unless you are someone who actively seeks attention and publicity, the aim of close protection will always be to operate discreetly and in a manner that doesn’t draw attention. The aim is always to avoid difficult situations, and the best Close Protection Officers will keep their distance according to the assessed threat level.

However you perceive your own status, if you are reading this then you are justified in contacting us for an assessment of the risks against you. Saladin routinely provides close protection to diplomats, “normal” businesspeople, ultra-net-worths, members of parliament, school children of concerned parents, as well as high profile recognisable people in the public eye.

No. Saladin can provide Close Protection support for a minimum of one day if required.

This will depend on a number of individual factors; please contact Saladin for an accurate quotation. For example if you require 24 hour coverage for an extended period of time, you should consider that Close Protection Officers will require personal leave, and that the hours can be long and unpredictable. For this reason, you will need the cover of at least 4 Close Protection Officers on rotation, and this will incur a higher cost than hiring a Close Protection Officer to cover a single evening event. There may also be additional costs such as accommodation and meals included in your quotation. However, we can likewise provide Close Protection Officers who charge a daily rate, which can be a more appropriate option for many high profile individuals.

Close protection services often require personal engagement with our clients over an extended period of time. For that reason, Saladin always aims to understand every client individually, taking into account their circumstances and requirements, and provide a Close Protection Officer judged to be a good fit. However, if it doesn’t work out, then of course a client can request a change.
