VIP Travel Security and Security Detail

One open source method in which we will use to deduce travel risks in a foreign land is perhaps the

the lower the country's ranking-- the more dangerous it will be and is for you to travel without a security detail there.

NEVER DEPEND ON A LOCAL SECURITY COMPANY IF TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AFRICA OR SOUTH ASIA.

To our knowledge-- their skill level is not up to date and their use of armed and unarmed (non lethal) methods is lacklustre to say the very least. In short-- very undependable.

Instead-- take along a security detail that is based in the US or Western Europe or developed North Asia.

Mission and Security Planners should make sure clients will not be using same entry and exits for buildings, same travel routes and NEVER should the arrival and exit times be known outside the Security Detail.

Mission Planners should have at least maps and satellite photos of the starting and end points.
