Todays’ reality indicates an alarming increase in Executive Kidnap & Extortion. It can be manifested from a Ransom demand to ensure release unharmed of a hostage, extortion demands to prevent damage to a company’s Assets, Brand Image or Consumer Base, Quick payment demands for Hostage Release in short term abductions or death threats.
Company Executive Protection scenarios include:
- Receipt of direct threat to individual and / or family.
- Continuous Protection for Top Executives.
- Executive travel to Overseas risk areas.
- Comprehensive Protection for visiting V.I.P’s.
- Security, orderly conduct & privacy at sensitive gatherings, e.g. Shareholders’ or City Analysts’ seminars, conferences and private functions.
For such occasions the importance of early comprehensive detail plus realistic sufficient ‘Lead-Time’ cannot be over emphasised, since contingency planning and preparation decisions must never be considered or taken ‘Ad-Hoc’. ‘Thorough planning’ is as paramount in importance as ‘physical protection.’
It should cover, amongst other points, executive Residence(s), or temporary Accommodation, Routes & Locations, Liaisons with event, conference, exhibition organisers, their security, the Police and all other relevant parties.
These details must be established at the earliest instance to conduct full ‘Risk Analysis & Threat Assessment’ prior to our operational quotation.
